You put a lot of pressure on yourself going around the world with “Amazing” as your first name.
But for The Amazing Kreskin, it’s just another day at the office—even if his office usually entails a stage, a microphone, a few hundred to a few thousand pairs of eyes and ears glued to him, and even more watching him work from the comfort of their living rooms.
--------------LISTEN TO THE AMAZING KRESKIN INTERVIEW!--------------
He’s been The Amazing One for longer than I’ve been Bob, frankly, and he’s far better at being Amazing than I am at being Bob.
Starting this week and running through November 2010, visitors to Las Vegas will have the opportunity to experience The Amazing Kreskin, up-close and in person, when he appears at the Sahara Casino Hotel’s Casbar Lounge.
For the first time ever, Kreskin will offer a weekly 30-minute gambling seminar to audiences and will impart his expertise on how individuals playing poker, blackjack, and other card games of chance can increase their advantage and their odds. Kreskin, who has broken records at casinos nationwide and overseas, will reveal why he’s now banned from all casinos and is not permitted to play poker anywhere in the world—except here on Mr. Media.
We’re also going to touch on a more serious subject: Kreskin’s recent revelation that he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, how he delayed treatment for an entire year, and how he is cured of it—amazing!
And folks, don’t try that at home!

Early in my career, I was the pop music critic for, respectfully, the St. Petersburg Times and the Tampa Tribune.
In that role, I had frequent contact with up-and-coming local bands that always believed in their heart of hearts that they would be The Next Big Thing. A few of them, such as Savatage, the Johnny G. Lyon Band, The Headlights and the Bobby Friss Band even achieved a modicum of commercial and regional success.
--------------LISTEN TO LOREN WEISMAN INTERVIEW!--------------
But the thing that drove me crazy about almost all of them was one in the same: they knew and understood bupkis about the business they were in.
They made horrendous deals with managers, nightclubs, promoters and record labels. They put no effort into self-promotion, assuming that if they played great in their garages and warehouses, the world would know about them and beat a path to their door.
I’d hear about this because many would complain when their appearances at local clubs or in concert weren’t publicized in the paper. I’d ask, “Did you send in a press release or announcement?” “No,” came the standard reply. “Everybody knows all about us!”
If “everybody” included Mom, Dad and the stoner chicks down the block, maybe so. But the rest of us didn’t know squat about them.
So when Loren Weisman’s new book, The Artist’s Guide to Success in The Music Business, recently crossed my desk, it was an easy “Yes” to having Loren on the show.

I’m an aging white guy with no natural rhythm, but I love to watch people who are lucky enough to have it and know how to use it.
--------------LISTEN TO ANDREA LIN INTERVIEW!--------------
If you can dance, I will forever be envious of you. So you might imagine that I enjoy watching today’s guest, Andrea Lin, a great deal. She is the host and star of an instructional series of DVDs called “Dance A GoGo.” The latest is the “Dance A GoGo: Sexy Nightclub Workout Series” in which Andrea and some of her beautiful friends demonstrate moves that will not only get attention in the clubs but sure you a good time while working out at home.
In addition to the DVD series, Andrea is organizing Dance A GoGo bootcamps at Studio City in Los Angeles and Rancho Cucamonga’s Inland Empire. And she demonstrates some of her moves in this exclusive Mr. Media TV episode (UStream video, below).
I think I need a cool drink already.

I was saddened to learn this morning of the passing of comedian Robert Schimmel following injuries sustained in a car accident last week.
Schimmel was a guest on Mr. Media Radio twice in a 30-day period back in 2008. He was promoting his book, Cancer on $5 a Day, and I was lucky enough to land him for a March 8 show scheduled for 30 minutes.
He did most of the talking and blew past the 30-minute mark. He did all the work, telling stories both touchingly personal and hysterically funny.
When we got to the end of an hour, I started wrapping it up and thanked him for his time. Schimmel said:
"Time is the greatest gift anyone can give you. The time you gave me today, that's mine now."Let's do it again some time. Let's hope I don't have to get another disease or write another book to get back on your show." I said, "You're welcome back any time," to which he said, "I'll take you up on it!"
And a month later--April 4, 2008--he was back for 90 minutes more of wonderful conversation.
I'm re-posting both interviews, separately, so our iTunes subscribers and others listening via RSS get both shows.
Ironically, I was interviewed last week by Brad Phillips at MrMediaTraining.com (no connection) and when he asked me about my favorite guests, without hesitation, I said, "Robert Schimmel."
Thanks for two of the most memorable interviews in this show's history, Robert. Rest in peace.

Robert Schimmel was my guest on Mr. Media on March 5, 2008 and—despite an hour of conversation—it felt like we barely began talking when time ran out.
And based on listener response, I wasn't the only way who felt that way, so I invited Robert back on April 4, 2008 to pick up where we left off.
I'm delighted to have spent so much time with him and am terribly saddened by his passing today.
