Description
“I first met Billy McComb when I was 14 years old and he remained my mentor throughout his life. He was an extraordinary font of wisdom, and he shared it freely and generously. It was my great pleasure to record this interview with Billy in Las Vegas in 1996 when I was headlining my own show at the Maxim Hotel & Casino and Billy was opening the show for Amazing Jonathan at Ballys. I was determined to capture as much of Billy’s advice on performing magic as I could. For three and a half hours I “grilled” Billy as only a best friend could, when we listened the playback of our unrehearsed and spontaneous recording we both agreed that it did a better job of capturing Billy’s philosophy of performing magic than any other previous undertaking. It is with great pride that I finally release the first ever digital download of that interview. I know you will enjoy it, and more importantly I know you will learn a great deal from it.” – Nick Lewin
