  • Very informative and fun to listen to

    The BEST magic podcast out there. Every single interview is packed with great content. Funny, thought provoking, and best of all, relaxing. I listen at bed when I’m falling asleep, and in the car on the way to and from work. Thank you Scott!

  • Always learn something new.

    I just finished listening to Episode 750 (congratulations on the milestone) and must say each episode has many gems to be mined. Scott is a great host who doesn’t make the show about himself and asks great thought-provoking questions to the guests to provide great advice for us mere mortals. Looking forward to the next 750.
