590: Charles Greene III - Collector, Baker, Magic Maker

This week I reconnect with an old friend who used to live and perform in Houston , Texas, before moving to our nation’s capitol, Washington, D.C.. Charles Greene III was the single busiest restaurant performer in the early 1980;s in Houston with about a dozen restaurants per week. He literally wrote the book on working magic at restaurants. He then launched a successful career in trade shows which has been his “bread and butter” for many years that has taken him around the world. Along the way he got involved with collecting vintage magic posters and has become a noted baker of baguettes. During our conversation this week, you can hear some noise in the background as Charles prepares his baguettes for the oven. He also tells us some of the steps he is going through before they are popped into the oven. During our conversation, Charles talks about his trade show work, his travels, his background in becoming an expert in magic posters, and his work on publishing a book on Ionia.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><br /> <br /><br /> <br /><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> View fullsize<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><br /> <br /> <br /><br /> <br /><br /> <br /><br /> <br /><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> View fullsize<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><br /> <br /> <br /><br /> <br /><br /> <br /><br /> <br /><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
