Electrician Makes Theatrical Magic
New York feature on Eugene Braun a 71 year old backstage wizard at Radio City Music Hall. He designs and runs the theater electrical plant and creates dramatic flame and smoke effects for stage productions. Braun explains the eight flame effects rely on steam lines, smoke pots, explosives, blowers and fast moving stagehands. He emphasizes precise timing and admits occasional scheming to reach the right moment. Braun’s past feats include a 13 000 lamp fireworks display and a giant rocket blast. He notes he does not plan ideas, only makes them work.
