Impressionist Jim Meskimen impresses in this excerpt from Shakespeare’s Richard III with a plethora of spot-on celebrity impersonations. I think his Richard Burton, Woody Allen, and Garrison Keillor are particularly good, but I don’t think there’s a miss in the lot. Let me know which ones you most enjoy.

At the 2015 Golden Cat Magic Conference in Gabrovo, Bulgarian magician Petar Sharkov performed some hilarious imitations of a few of the magicians who had attended the conference in the past. With his permission, I’m re-posting his turn in which he satirizes David Stone, Lennart Green, Shawn Farquar, Yu Ho Jin, and Topas. Unfortunately, his funny imitations were cut short when he dislocated his shoulder during his Topas bit, so he couldn’t do his Jeff McBride impersonation. Maybe this year?
Warning: Deep dark underground secret card manipulation techniques are exposed in the Lennart Green and Yu Ho Jin segments.
