012—Chad Jacobs

How do you create a great character? St. Louis magician Chad Jacobs, aka Chef Bananas, shares his process for developing his alternate persona. A long-time restaraunteur, Chad is very new to professional magic. He'll talk about his journey so far, what he's learned as he makes the jump from "normal" job to magician, and how he hit the ball out of the park on his first attempt at character design.
