America’s Got Talent Magician on Originality | Dom Chambers (Magic Hunt)
From Showtime with Andrew G | Arts and Entertainment · 00:51:24
Show by Andrew G
Andrew sits down with magician and comedian Dom Chambers, the first Australian solo act to reach the semi-finals of America’s Got Talent and a former star of The Illusionists on Broadway, fresh off his Melbourne Fringe debut with Magic Hunt. Dom talks candidly about the moment a week before opening when he told his wife he thought he hated his job, why he believes magic doesn’t have enough originality, and the grandfather who learned magic just to connect with his grandkids.They also dig into the difference between American and Australian audiences, how a swear word in the first minute can win over a corporate room, and what really happens when a trick fails live. It’s a funny, honest conversation about creativity, resilience and why every great minute of a show hides hours of work.
