Someone on the internet said, “John Bundy is the best kept secret in magic,” however, Morgan and I have been around … quite a while, yet because we are at the same venues for years, our work has not been seen or publicized en-mass. We’ve performed at several Tannen’s Jubilee and Abbott’s Get Togethers, but never national or international magic events. "IN 2016 JOHN BUNDY AND MORGAN RECEIVED THE CHRISTOPHER FOUNDATION AWARD FOR ILLUSIONISTS …" Pandemonium, an illusion filled show about Captain Hook. We’ve made 4 trips to China for amusement parks and private events, worked with NYC based film and television production providing magic and props for: Law and Order 34 VANISH Magazine www.VanishMagazine.com
Criminal Intent, Gotham, Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris, Late Show with David Letterman and Paramount Pictures Morning Glory in 2010 (we both have screen time in that one), commercials for Brisk, Liverpool clothing, Verizon, The Money Store and traveled for the USO. In 2009 Morgan appeared on The World Magic Awards performing the Table of Death and was given the award for best Escape Artist. After leaving Worlds of Fun, we concentrated on expanding some of our shows into 90 minute formats, playing road house theatres and Performing Arts Centers. In 2014, we sold out the Super Star theatre at Resorts hotel and Casino in Atlantic City with Spooktacular. In 2016 John Bundy and Morgan received the Christopher foundation award for illusionists … … and … … in the fall of 2016 my book was ready. Tricks’N’Treats, the book of Halloween magic was on the shelfs of magic shops around the world. Plus we returned to our roots, Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey, to present a revised and updated version of Slash for their Frightfest nights. And now … well who knows, we keep going forward, are flexible, resourceful and don’t give up. … a short essay by John … WHEN MAGIC BECOMES THEATRE. No one sets out to be a magician. It usually starts by learning a trick or two, then as the repertoire grows, a show develops, and by “develops” I mean a succession of effects without anything linking it all together. This presentation is personality driven. It is all about you and not about magic. The magic is a vehicle to make you into someone an audience will want to watch. As time goes on the show becomes an act. The effects are structured in a way allowing you to take the audience from point A to B, with varying pace. Even at this point it is still about you. You are a “pop” star, who at the end of the day is selling your persona to the audience. It may even be a fabricated version of yourself, yet, it is the image you wish them to see. The most successful performers allow some of their true self to be apart of this image. However … when a performer assumes the style and characteristics of their magic heroes, they becomes a parody. Along time ago I realized I was not going to be one of the GQ type magicians. When a producer wants a magician to plug into a review show, looking like a male model is a clear advantage. The days are long gone for the likes of Golden and Kalang. The image of the magician has moved VANISH MAGAZINE www.VanishMagazine.com 35
