John Gaspard - A Very Magical Author Indeed... Aug 24, 2021

Show notes

John Gaspard is the author of the Eli Marks mystery series which features a magician as the protagonist.

While John is by no means a professional magician, I think it's safe to safe he's OBSESSED with magic by way of an occupational hazard.

This was an amazing podcast, as we love both magic and literature--and John combines the two perfectly.

Show notes

Christian Grace is a London-based magician who made a quick rise to magic fame for his two best-selling effects 'Pluck' and 'Level One.'

But that's not all he's done, and like everything almost else, his story is far more deep and interesting than the overnight success it might appear to be on the offset.

We loved talking to Christian! The man is a creator, visionary, and on top of all that - A Perfect Gent.
