The Unstuck Career
A Mustache + a Suit + Card tricks = Amazing Barry
In this episode of the Unstuck Career Podcast, Ken Williams and the Amazing Barry have an in-depth conversation. Barry is a web developer and professional magician based in Indianapolis, and he shares how his love for theater and magic evolved from childhood hobbies into a creative side hustle, supplementing his traditional 9-to-5 job. He discusses the gradual transition from doing magic tricks for tips as a student to performing professionally on stage, and the unexpected career advantages his magical alter ego has brought, from standout interview experiences to stronger workplace relationships.
The discussion explores the personal and professional value of pursuing creative outlets outside of work, highlighting how engaging in activities you love can reduce stress, boost happiness, and positively impact every facet of your life. Barry also reflects on building his magician persona, the irreplaceable magic of live, in-person connection, and lessons about perception and reality that extend far beyond card tricks. The episode concludes with encouragement for listeners to find and nurture their own passions, recognizing how important it is to have joyful pursuits outside the daily grind.
