Disney Cruise or Disney World? Which vacation is best for YOU?

Ep. 313 - It's a Kind of Magic: DCL Stage Performer and Magician Siegfried Tieber: We are joined this week by a very special guest - Siegfried Tieber. Siegfried is a close-up magician who has performed for (and fooled) the likes of Penn & Teller. He's also a DCL stage performer, bringing his show to the high-seas to entertain adults and families on all four of Disney's original ships. Siegfried shares his journey to magic, the highs and lows of his career, and what it's like to be a stage performer on Disney Cruise Line. He also even took some time to share a card trick with us that you can see on our YouTube channel or Facebook Group. We had so much fun chatting with Siegfried and hope we can see his show again soon on Disney Cruise Line. If you'd like to connect with Siegfried and see more of his amazing magic, head over to website or follow him on Instagram.
