Brendan Dooley, Comedy Magician (NZ)

In this episode I’m catching up with comedy magician, Brendan Dooley. This guy cooks up world-class magic, quick-wit comedy and insane mind-reading with a dash of cheeky pickpocketing and a side of audience participation to create the yummiest show you’ve ever tasted.  We talk about Brendan’s fascination with magic from the age of 5, managing a jam-packed schedule of working on both land and sea and making lemonade from lemons when things go wrong on a cruise ship contract.
