Steve Farmer
Steve Farmer imageMystery Detective and Magician Steve Farmer, known to many as "the Blue Saint", presents a program about Magic and Mystery from a Mystery Detective's point of view. Everyone knows at least one Mystery Detective; Sam Spade? Phillip Marlow? Sherlock Holmes? Scooby-Doo? An hour of fun for everyone! Have you read a mystery lately? At the conclusion of the show, a magic lesson is included. After retiring a few years ago from the Austin Police Department, Steve pursues his love of Magic and Mystery. Four years ago, he began teaching magic at Austin's famous "Kent Cummins' Magic Camp and has been a regular there ever since. You can sometimes catch "The Blue Saint" at a public performance at places such as Dave and Buster's, The Y bar & Grill, GattiTown Restaurant, but as he is also an "escape artist", you better be quick. Steve is also pursuing an acting career.
