Guy takes time out of his busy lawyer-ing to talk to me about magic. How he got started. His latest stage act. And much more. Enjoy!

Show notes

Fool Us, Ted, Yale, Vegas. Jen Kramer has done so much. Hear her chat about all that and her favourite pizza topping in this week's The Insider.

Here's a link to Magicians Without Borders that Jen mentioned in the show.

Anthony Owen Apr 15, 2019

Show notes

As I imagine most of you know, Anthony Owen tragically died last Friday. In the episode, Anthony himself says that when you have a deadline, you deliver what you need to deliver. Be it a TV show, book or podcast. Andi and the rest of the team were sure this was the right thing to do.
So, here is a thirty minute chat with Anthony. About his book, his life, his work, and, sadly, the things he was looking forward to.
Hope this serves as a suitable bookmark for his life.

Chris Rawlins Apr 08, 2019

Show notes

In this episode, the delightful Chris Rawlins talks to me about his memory act, how he hates admin, speeding tickets and he gets really surprised to hear a seagull. Enjoy.

Dominic Twose Apr 01, 2019

Show notes

Recorded live at The Session 2019, Dominic Twose, A.I.M.C, is my guest this week. Yes, you may not know his name. But, this episode is well worth listening too. Dominic was one of Fred Robinson's only pupils and Dom talks about how they met, what lessons were like with Fred and what it was like in the London magic scene at that time. Hanging out with Pat Page, Alex Elmsley, Gordon Bruce and more. He shares a great story about Gordon too. We go on to discuss how he got to write the indices for the Cervon Notebooks and be asked to write a brand new book of Cervon material. Finally we chat about his first magic book, Impromptu Secrets and how that came about. Enjoy.

Edward Hilsum Mar 25, 2019

Show notes

He's really polite. He does amazing dove magic. He's won IBM Stage Magician of the Year. The Magic Circle's Stage Magician of the Year. And he's been part of a hugely successful magic touring show, The Masters of Illusion.

Join us as Edward talks about doves, meeting your heroes and sitting on the floor with Chris Kenner doing a coins across routine.

Jamy Ian Swiss Mar 11, 2019

Show notes

Seems fitting that after the passing of Johnny Thompson over the weekend I put out this episode of The Insider with Jamy Ian Swiss. Jamy literally wrote the book on Thompson and talks about him briefly in this week's show.

We also cover why magic sucks, the importance of your feet, American Gods and the Chicago Magic scene.
