BioI am married to Veda Crewe Joseph,
a teacher, artist, and historical/theatrical costumer. My wife and I live with our wire haired fox terriers named Beau and Duffy (Mac Duff) in a Queen Anne Victorian house that we restored.
I have been a performer for more than 40 years as an actor, a folk singer, and a magician.
I have turned my attention to researching and performing historical magic as
The Great Scot, Bardic Magician at Renaissance Faires, (including the Vermont Renaissance Festival), Scottish, Celtic, and
other Festivals, private parties, schools and libraries.
I have studied Theatre and English at the University of Miami and I hold a BA in History and Music from Adelphi University. I have also
studied magic performance and techniques with world class magicians, Jeff McBride, Jonathan Pendragon, Lance Burton, Jim Cellini, Gazzo the Great, and Matthew Taylor.
My other interests revolve around popular culture such as movies, old time radio, early TV, vaudeville, British Music Hall, and burlesque comedy.
I helped write recreations of an old time radio show and a 1950's television variety show for Main Street Arts, a community arts and theatre organization in Saxtons River, VT. As well as the writing, I performed in a number of the OTR sketches and was the MC for the TV show. I chose and edited vintage tv clips that were used so that the audience could get an idea of 1950's TV or brought back memories to those that had seen them when they were originally broadcast.
