Performer Stories — Fascinating Stories from Top Entertainers

This week's storytellers are Graeme Reed, Christopher Campbell FenyxFyre, Magic Mike Brooks, and Edie.

In this episode we feature stories that surround a theme of "The Painful & The Surreal."

You'll hear stories involving a "smash & stab" trick gone wrong, a fire performer unexpectedly catching on fire during his act, a kid's party babysitting fire, and a literal shipwreck.

The first story comes from Graeme Graemazing Reed, a "Level 7 Wizard" who doesn't take himself too seriously and has been mastering the virtual show arena. He's also co host to the Magicians Talking Magic podcast. Graeme tells us about a time when the infamous "smash & stab" trick went painfully wrong.

The second story comes from Christopher Campbell FenyxFyre, an awe-inspiring entertainer who's a master of the fire arts and other side-show disciplines. He's been wowing audiences with performances that must be seen to be believed for over a decade. As the innovator of insanity, he defies the brain and awakens curiosity. Listen to him telling about the time he actually caught on fire during his fire act.

The third storyteller is Magic Mike Brooks. Offering a wide variety of services from hypnosis, large-scale stage illusions, mentalism, and even close up strolling magic, Mike has become the premier choice for this kind of entertainment in and around Ohio. Here he is telling about a kids party babysitting fire.

Our final story comes from Edie, a stage performer, dancer, and actor, most notably known for portraying the Emcee of Cirq du Soliel's Zumanity. Edie talks about experiencing an actual shipwreck.
