<title><![CDATA[Custom suits, yes. Custom hangars?]]></title>
<link>http://blog.chambermagic.com/amusing/custom-hangars?utm_source=rss&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=custom-hangars</link>
<description><![CDATA[If you've ever worn a custom-tailored suit or dress shirt, you know that they typically embroider your name into the garment. However, have you ever come across a custom hanger with your name on it?

Recently a man came to my show and introduced himself afterward. He said that he has something for me back home (in Montreal) that I'd be sure to like. A couple of weeks later, a package arrived with a heavy black hanger inside. The hanger was printed with gold lettering across the top, with the words:

S. Cohen

I thought to myself, how flattering. This man went out of his way to make a custom hanger for me. Then I read his letter, which explained [...]]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I rarely take vacations. When I do, they’re usually short five-day excursions, spanning Sunday through Thursday. Why? Because like Cinderella, I need to rush back to New York in time for my weekend performances. Chamber Magic shows run every Friday and Saturday, and I hardly ever miss a weekend. That goes for summer and winter holidays too.

For a change of pace, however, I’ve been on a two-week summer vacation in Japan with my family. As I write this, I’m aboard a Boeing 777 aircraft on the flight home to New York. We visited my wife’s parents in Osaka, and spent a good deal of time in Tokyo (one of my favorite cities in the world).

As much fun as I had during the past two weeks with my wife, children and local friends, I’m eager to return home to get back to my shows. Call it the “show-biz itch” if you will. The time I feel most alive is [...]]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I held a fascinating interview with a private jet pilot (↑ that's the jet he flies), and discovered how to utilize pilots' Situational Awareness in my work on stage as a performer. If you've never heard of Situational Awareness, or the OODA loop, there's a lot that you can learn from a pilot that could help save your life. It can also help you as a presenter on stage, which I'll illustrate in this blog post.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[According to celebrity reporter Robin Leach:
&#8220;Steve Cohen is the dictionary definition of &#8216;amazing,&#8217; &#8216;unbelievable,&#8217; and &#8216;baffling.&#8217; There is nobody else in the world doing what he does and it truly is the most remarkable performance I have seen in all my years. I believe that his extraordinary and unique talents far surpass any ordinary Las [...]]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[My 5-year-old daughter enjoyed this performance by Groucho Marx, so I'm posting several versions here. The song? "Lydia The Tattooed Lady," from the Marx Brothers movie At The Circus.

According to Wikipedia, among the items, persons, and scenes tattooed on Lydia's body are the Battle of Waterloo (on her back), The Wreck of the Hesperus (beside it), the red, white and blue (above them); the cities of Kankakee and "Paree", Washington Crossing the Delaware, President Andrew Jackson, Niagara Falls, Alcatraz, Buffalo Bill, Captain Spaulding exploring the Amazon, Lady Godiva (with her pajamas on), Grover Whalen, the Trylon, Treasure Island, Nijinsky, a fleet of ships (on her hips), and Lydia's own Social Security number.

I've included a second clip of Groucho singing on the Dick Cavett show later in life, and also a funny version by Kermit the Frog on the Muppet Show.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[To celebrate Father's Day, I invited my two children, Alex (age 10) and June (age 5) to perform at the Waldorf in Chamber Magic last night. It was their debut performance, and they did an amazing job! In this post, I've added a photo-essay and two videos of their world-premiere. 

Sharing the stage with my children was, to me, the best Father's Day present I could ever imagine.]]></description>
