Growing up, Eric Mead had a typical interest in magic. By the time he was a teenager, his interest had become a full-fledged obsession. Eric was getting paid to perform birthday parties and banquets in his hometown. He began performing street magic in 1985 and four years later was offered a job as the “Magic Bartender” at the Tower Comedy/Magic Bar owned by John Denver. Working at the bar and performing regularly at private parties and comedy clubs, he became well-known in the magic world and went on to perform one of the most memorable pieces in The Aristocrats.
Mead is also known as the author of Tangled Web, a collection of magic and mentalism taken from his personal repertoire. Nice 9 minute plus video from TED. Don't watch if you are squeamish or afraid of a little blood..
