Center Stages Ultimate Prop from Diamond’s Magic Shop on North Shore
The Wellesley
Community Center will supply another edition of Gil Stubbs’ World of Magic on March 5, 2014. This month’s special guest is
Eddie Gardner, who is referred to amongst his peers as a ‘magician’s magician’. Eddie says, “My objective is to entertain and
make people laugh. Fun should be my
middle name”. For the last
38 years, Eddie has done just that, while performing for conventions, trade
shows, restaurants, children's parties, schools, libraries, Boy Scouts, Girl
Scouts and meetings of corporations. He
has also performed for families and parties of the Red Sox, Bruins and
Celtics! Sometimes in the professional franchise world, it takes a little
magic to get things done. And, he has
advised and taught Shriner Clowns to cover all the bases.
So that leads us to a curious question. Have you ever wondered where all of the gear
comes from when magicians perform? It
cannot be easily sourced, that’s for sure, but like every discipline there is
always a category of suppliers who specialize in products and services for a
given line of work. Perhaps you have wondered where
dentists get their supplies from? Oh, you haven’t? We can all agree that it does not ‘magically’
appear out of thin air. The same holds
true with magic accoutrement. Not only
does Eddie own and manage the largest magic shop in New England, called
Diamond’s Magic in Peabody, but he has dedicated his career to the advancement
of the art. This has been accomplished
through professional organizations, where he is an active officer of a SAM
(Society of American Magicians) Chapter North of Boston, where he has received
multiple national awards from SAM, but also is an advisor to the local assembly
of The Society of Young Magicians.
