294: Jamie Salinas - Half Halloween

Well, we appear to have been off by about a month because we thought May 31st was the halfway point between last Halloween and the next one. But nevertheless, now is the time to work on and start promoting your Halloween services. And what services might those be? Well, it's a perfect time to talk with the things that go "bump in the night". You may not be a mystery entertainer, a bizarrist, or a psychic, but I'll bet that even if you don't utilize any of our suggestions, at least you will be better equipped to know what is "out there".

Jamie Salinas is an award winning Houston, Texas, area magician who has been a business partner of mine for many years. As "Top Talent Productions" and following the closure of The Magic Island, we used to produce magic shows in a five star hotel in downtown Houston featuring magicians from across the country. But during the month of October for the past eight years, we have produced seances in an old downtown bar (established in 1847) that is said to be haunted. During our chat, we often refer to a mini lecture we gave a couple years ago and posted in a September 2014 podcast which you can find here. We also talk about our set of PDF Lecture Notes (Creating the Paranormal Experience) which you can order for ten bucks here on The Magic Word by clicking here.under Scott Wells Lecture Items. Or you could win one of two sets that will be given away in the contest. Just fill in the form at the bottom of this blog to register to win.

We also refer to a couple of resources we have used and recommend: Lebanon Circle is here. and Outlaw Effects is here. The podcast referred to in the podcast with the ghost hunting video video at the Ott Hotel in Liberty, Texas is Here. The podcast recorded from there is Here. To learn more about our seance in Houston, please visit: HoustonSeance.com

Attendees provide comments for Houston Seance.
