  • Great podcast and great learning resource!

    I’ve listed to Dean for several years, and have learned about more important but lesser-known magicians than I can count (the current Newman one included). Dean researches and writes deeply, and we’re all the better for it

  • A smooth listen!

    Carnegie has one of those voices that you could just listen to him reading the phone book! Are there phone books anymore? Well, you get my meaning! The content on top of that, is excellent. I’m learning, but not even aware!
