Episode 8, Season 4: Top Talent Entertainment Agency, Newmarket, Ontario
In 1984 Michael Lissack left his job in an aluminum company to pursue his dream of becoming a professional magician. Thus Mr. Magik was born.
Things were going well for Mr. Magik, but Michael noticed his clients kept asking him if he knew other entertainers they could hire for other gigs, so rather than turn them away, he saw an opportunity to create an agency that brought together acts of all types together giving birth to Top Talent Entertainment Agency.
Michael’s son Nevil—aka The Marvellous Magician—took over the family business 15 years ago and has continued to grow it’s roster and client base. But what happens to a company who’s business is to provide live entertainment, during a time when that isn’t possible?
Listen to find out.
Hello Al,
I’ve FINALLY had a chance to listen to the podcast today and it’s fantastic! I am so very happy that it turned out so well.
I wanted to thank you again, and I wish you continued success with your podcast!
Kind Regards,
Nevil, Michael, and Leslie (and the rest of our family, including the dogs!)
— Nevil Lissack, President of Top Talent Entertainment
