Today we’d like to introduce you to Will Baffle.
Hi Will, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
My interest in magic and illusions started in 1987 where I was shown a coin trick and the “magic bug” certainly bit. Since then, I have been performing for private parties as well as public shows. Even toured for a number of years doing academic and motivational programs for elementary school nationally. Currently I reside in Fort Worth, Texas and perform wherever I can to entertain and put smiles on people’s faces. I also keep a collection of antique illusions that once belonged to “The Great Virgil”. The last of the golden age performers in America.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It would be a lie to say its been a smooth road! There are certainly ups and downs and feast and famines that go with this life! You have your daily struggles like paying the bills and such but then there is the other struggles of motivating yourself to promote, advertise and also learn new routines for future shows.
As you know, we’re big fans of The Magic and Illusions of Will Baffle. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
I offer family friendly entertainment for anything from children’s birthday parties all the way up to grand illusion shows such as “sawing a woman in half”. I am known for being the “King of Kid Shows” as I have done a lot of kid shows both small groups and large. I am currently the only illusionist that offers a unique kid friendly illusion show where the kids are the assistants. You can see as I have a child floating in the air or even slice a kid in half. Believe me when I say that the kids line up all wanting to be part of the show!
We’d love to hear about how you think about risk taking?
There are risks in everything. You have to take a risk in how you promote or advertise and hope it does well! It’s said that Show Business is the bigger of the two words and they were not joking about that. That being said, it is good to look toward the future and dream big so that you have new goals to try and reach. It may happen or not but that is all part of the risk!
