WBEZ (91.5) interviews Sean
During the run of Magic Matinee at the Music Box Theatre wbez interviews show "Sean Masterson, Chicago's most thought-provoking wizard, has magically transformed himself into a North Shore icon."
"Everytime we turned around, it seemed we saw a small huddle of people oohing and aahing over whatever trick you were doing at the time. Your work really is amazing, and even had Judy raving about you on the air."
"He’s a fine close-up magician, a warm performer, and it’s hard to figure out how he does what he does."
"Everyone keeps raving about the entertainment!"
"He transforms a simple cocktail reception into a magical evening."
"His magic does more than puzzle the mind, it creates a sense of wonder and excitement."
"He uses the card tricks to reveal the deeper meanings of the stories he tells. When he relates the classic tale about the frog prince, he folds a card into an origami amphibian and then changes him into a prince. Not only is the frog’s transformation a shrewd magic trick but it evokes all the magical enchantment of fairy tales."
"It is the presentation of the trick that’s mostly responsible for it’s success. Masterson frames the familiar shuffles and switches with highly original and well articulated stories..."
