  • Great interviews and insights from the inner circle

    I am an amateur/hobbyist of magic and have been looking for a good magic podcast to start listening to and after a few I came across Scott’s podcast. I quickly realized that I found my new favorite podcast. The people he interviews and his interview style was very interesting and informative. Hearing some great stories and Scott’s interview skills are top notch in my book!

    Thank you Scott and keep it up. I look forward to listening!
