  • Great podcast if you are a magician or not!

    Have thoroughly enjoyed the podcast! These episodes bring to light that magic truly is an art form. Great stories as well. Love the Teller episode, magic in prison and the Holocaust episodes so much.

    Recently discovered Joshua Jay’s book, and accompanying podcast “How Magicians Think.” He has great insight and communicates well. As a lifelong fan of magic, he “speaks” to me.
