Tradeshow Magician on the Daily Show

Postby NCMarsh » January 16th, 2006, 9:02 pm

Jon Stewart interviewed Eugene Jarecki, director of "Why We Fight," tonight. They showed a brief clip from the film -- including footage from a defense industry trade show that featured a few seconds of a magician working for Haliburton. I wasn't able to recognize him, did anyone else see this/recognize the performer?

He appears briefly in the trailer for the film at http://www.sonyclassics.com/whywefight/ (he is the gentleman who says "our business is collusion..." near the end of the trailer)

Best,

N.

It looked like my old friend Harrison Carroll in the brief cupple seconds he was on.

I took a look at Harrison's site and, though it is a brief glimpse, it does look like him.

Thanks tabman.

Best,

Unless Harrison has an identical twin it must be him!

It was really fun seeing him on tv last night. Harrison, Lou Gallo, Ray Mertz and I used to hang out together at FFFF and CEMK and beyond.

Harrison is extremely entertaining and competent. He used to make it through Nashville but his current gigs don't route him through here anymore.

It's hard to imagine that two of these three close magic friends are gone and I havent been feeling too good myself lately either.
