Rudy Coby, The Coolest Magician on Earth has been one of Witney Seibold’s heroes for years. Now, he’s on The B-Movies Podcast, introducing our hosts to the wonders of stage magic, the eccentricities of the entertainment industry and more. He’s appearing at The Magic Castle in Los Angeles this month. (Good luck getting tickets.)
Witney Seibold brings William “Bibbs” Bibbiani along to Rudy Coby’s personal studio, where it may be a little echo-y but it’s still super cool: it’s filled with stripper poles, severed heads and Hollywood history, since it’s also the building where Alfred Hitchcock was cremated. They sit down to talk with Rudy Coby about his illustrious career working with the likes of Marilyn Manson and Gonzo the Great, how Devo jumpstarted his career in magic, the strange saga of the Details magazine story that won him a Fox TV special, the secrets of Los Angeles’s Magic Castle and the part he played in unmasking “The Masked Magician,” one of the biggest killjoys in entertainment history.
