I can still perform and do my art and passion and love and do it for people and put smiles on their face. Whatever's holding you back, you're gonna regret it later.
Ever wondered what makes a magician trade in blueprints for a deck of cards? In this episode of 'The Jewcy Podcast', Lauren Jamison, aka Kosher Barbie, chats with the multi-talented Derek Ostovani. Derek's not your average magician; he's a former structural engineer who decided that the world needed a bit more magic and a lot less concrete. His story is a fascinating blend of passion, creativity, and resilience, especially in the face of a global pandemic.
When COVID-19 threw live entertainment into chaos, Derek didn't just sit back and wait for things to get better. Instead, he found innovative ways to keep his audience spellbound, even from a distance. From virtual shows to crafting new tricks at home, Derek's adaptability is nothing short of inspiring. He shares how his engineering background helps him design some of his own illusions, proving that sometimes, the most magical things come from the most unexpected places.
Lauren and Derek also dive into the power of technology in the arts, highlighting how networking and collaboration have become lifelines for performers during these tough times. Derek's journey is a testament to the importance of perseverance and finding joy in the little things. So, if you're curious about how a magician keeps the magic alive in challenging times, this episode is for you.
