He truly is one of the 'best' and when you hear how he got to be that way, we promise you'll be blown away. 

Michael is kind, inspiring and genuine.

We can honestly say that he's one of our magic idols. 

This was an emotional episode, and we learnt a lot, so we hope you do too! 

In this episode we discuss: 

• Why you should learn Spanish Guitar (everyone could do with better finger dexterity in magic) 
• The incredible similarities between philanthropy and magic (and why John Guastaferro sees them as one of the same)  
• The power of the 'one degree' principle and why it applies to pretty much everything in life. 
• John Guastaferro's book 'en route'. 
• And much, much more. 

In this episode we discuss: 

• What makes a good magic website (and why there are so few good ones out there) 
• What SEO work and magic have in common (and how to harness the powers of both worlds) 
• The AIDA formula that ANY good magician knows intuitively (but copywriters are forced to learn) 
• How Evan Porter became financially independent simply by writing a few blog posts (and learning how to get people to read them)
• Why all magicians should have a second hobby (and the power of harnessing it) 
• And much, much more! 

And just a few days ago, we had the pleasure of welcoming him on the 'Of Sleights and Men' podcast where we discussed: 

• How Adrian went from watching David Copperfield perform on TV as a kid, to performing for Copperfield’s children. 
• Why Adrian Lacroix is ALWAYS confident during performances (he wasn’t even stressed to perform for the Argentinian President!) 
• How being a self-confessed ‘lazy-bone’ has led Adrian Lacroix to incredible heights of success. 
• The secret behind Rene Lavand’s most fooling shuffle (and how it came to be that he NEVER came up with it in the first place) 
• How to perform incredible zoom magic (and why quarantine isn’t the end of magic)
• And much, much, more! 

In this podcast with the great Morgan and West we discuss: 

- Why Morgan and West prefer to perform children’s shows (and would ONLY perform for children if they could) 

- Why Morgan and West hate to perform close up magic (and almost NEVER do it) 

- How Terry Pratchett books inspired their current stage persona (Benji was dying to talk about this with them— and it showed)

- The incredible success of their recent book, Parlour Tricks (and what makes it COMPLETELY different from most magic books)

-And much, much more!

He has written for, and designed effects for stage performers who perform internationally, in Vegas showrooms, and on Broadway stages. His television writing credits range from kid shows (Rugrats) to sitcoms (Everybody Loves Raymond)

He truly is a huge name in the magic world— and today he became our latest podcast guest.

• The key to producing great TV shows (and how to harness that power in your magic performances)

Recording this was a whole lot of fun for all of us! We hope you feel that you're hanging out in a pub with three British lads who love chatting about magic, rather than sitting, or working out, or even sleeping while listening to this podcast.

In this podcast we discuss:

• The secret to a good street performance (and the secret to a bad one) 
• Why Steven is haunted by 'lemon failures' (and how they actually helped him become the person he is today) 
• The reason why Steven does magic in the first place (and why maybe it doesn't even matter at all) 
• 'The Montage Effect' (and why it's stopping you from progressing not just in magic, but in life in general) 

Take a listen...

During this episode, we talked on a variety of subjects, from card college to the power of linguistics.

Here's what you can expect: 

• How Roberto Giobbi went from selling floppy disks to a world-class magician
• What made Roberto Giobbi 'take the leap' to become a professional magician (and the 'big shot' job he gave up to do so)
• Giobbi's tips on performing for all types of audiences- from children to magic castle guests.
• What you should do when writing a magic book (and what UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES you should ever do)
• And much, much more! 

She's made a name for herself in the magic world with her analysis of the direct connections between magic and the science of psychology. 

In this episode, we discuss her upcoming book, semi-viral ted talk and: 

• How much of Derren Brown's magic is true 'mentalism' (it was far more than we expected) 
• The BEST force in magic (I guarantee it will surprise you) 
• How to avoid being tricked (the answer made us laugh out loud) 
• And finally... why all humans are lazy (and how accepting that can change your life forever) 

We started out by asking Andi about his brand new book—The Boy Who Cried Magic. This book has been, by our estimation, 23 years in the making—and includes Andi’s most exquisite material. In fact, it’s in such high demand—Vanishing Inc have started buying copies from OTHER magic companies just to fulfill their orders.  

With that in mind, hit the link below to secure your copy while you still can... 

https://www.vanishingincmagic.com/magic-books/the-boy-who-cried-magic/ 

Next, the conversation quickly went ‘no-holds-barred’—and over this nearly 2-hour mega session, we also discussed... 

• The one skill that history’s greatest magicians and computer programmers nearly always have in common (Ed Marlo was incredible at this...even though he never touched a line of code)
• How the 46th richest man in the world redefined the way we approach magic (nearly zero magicians have ever studied this, but it’s a game-changer)
• Andi’s number one tip for the magic business during the pandemic (you’d have to be crazy not to sit up and pay attention to this)
• The one Derren Brown line that separates the good magicians from the truly great (this has been a long time coming) 
• Andi’s definition of ‘a good problem to have’ (featuring stories about Vanishing Inc we’ve never heard before) 
• The ‘BIG’ question we’ve always wanted Andi’s opinion on (frankly, he didn’t have an answer—and neither did we)

Take a listen…

In this podcast, we ask Moritz where it all began, and discuss everything from the famous European magic scene to the ethics of when to release a magic product. 

Take a listen...

...have you noticed that Zoom magic is, kinda, a thing now?

Maybe you love it. Maybe you hate it.

Either way, here’s something I think you’ll find interesting:

If you Google ‘Zoom magic tricks’, depending on where you are in the world, our site will be either the No.1 result or one of the top ten.

Over the last four months, my analytics software tells me over 14,800 magicians have seen that link, and over 1,800 have clicked on it.

So the interest is definitely there—that’s not in question.

But what IS in question is whether Zoom magic is actually any GOOD…

In the latest episode of our podcast, I sat down with my buddy Jacob and we discussed our ‘unfiltered’ take on Zoom magic.

Ken Krenzel called him “A Highly Innovative Coin Worker”

And arguably the greatest magician of all time, Dai Vernon, called him “A Superb Artist!”

Who is he?

His name is Dr. Michael Rubinstein, and he’s one of the most legendary names in modern magic. 

We recently sat down and chatted with Dr. Rubinstein about his life in magic, his new book (that many magicians have nicknamed ‘the modern Bobo’), and how to create truly powerful magic. 

It’s all available on the latest episode of our podcast…

Check out his new book, Rubinstein Coin Magic, here:

In this episode we explore: 

• What magic and meditation have in common (HINT it's not what you expect) 
• The power of Eastern culture (and why you have to start implementing its secrets in your performances) 
• Danny's beautiful 'magic origin story' (it blew us away)
• The secret to any great coin routine (and no it's not reading Bobo fifty times over) 
• And much, much, more! 

Enjoy!

• How Benji learned French in two weeks (He used this method ‘on’ me, and I was floored)
• A Computer Science professor’s secret to (at least) double your productivity (this method was used by everyone from Carl Jung to JK Rowling, and it works like gangbusters for magicians)
• What ‘shallow’ practice is.
• How to complete card magician Aaron Fisher’s Pathways training program in 2 days.

In this episode, we discuss:

* A ‘behind the scenes’ look at what it took to create the Skyscraper Method

* The no.1 most satisfying part of releasing a magic product

* Why the hardest part of the creative process is often the stuff you don’t think about (illustrated by a few crazy stories…)

* Why Dani DaOrtiz doesn’t have any mirrors in his house

* Why the key to being creative is to...be creative (it sounds abstract, but it’s actually very simple)

* What our ‘Inner Circle’ looks like (and why we’re so excited for it)

Why Jacob used to harass grandmas (no excuse for this one, all we can do is apologize)

The weird ‘T Rex’ pose that scuppered my ‘which hand’ routine

Our ‘unethical’ performance that went a little bit TOO well

How I ruined my reputation at school with a ‘card to impossible location’ that left me scarred for years to come (I’ve never shared this anywhere else before)
