"World Champion" Nowlin Craver
"The Maestro"
OK. We lied. He's not actually THE World Champion, but "The Maestro" did win Third Place in Comedy at FISM 2000. We're told that all the winners above him bribed the judges! That's the way "The Maestro" tells the story... and we're stuck with it.
Nowlin is a native Texan and received his degree in Drama from THE University of Texas. He began performing professionally at a steak house when he was 17 years old and during the past 20+ years has committed his combination of theater, comedy, and magic in Japan, Canada, Hawaii , and throughout the Continental United States; from the most intimate venues to the largest auditoriums.
Nowlin has received awards for both his comedy and his magic. He was INTERNATIONAL BROTHERHOOD of MAGICIANS Stage Champion in 1984; was the first-and only-person to be TEXAS ASSOCIATION of MAGICIANS 'Comedy Champion' and 'Club Champion' in the same year; and the first-and only-person to win both The Originality Award and The Comedy Award from the SOCIETY of AMERICAN MAGICIANS.
