The Podcast of Illusion is all about the great traditions of circus entertainment.

Why do most of us love illusion? I think it is because most of us don't believe it is possible and enjoy being surprised, again and again, as master illusionists play to our weaknesses and trick us time after time. I know I was expecting to crack the code of illusion at the Circus Of Illusion, but I didn't. The man behind the illusion is Michael Boyd, illusionist, and he joins us now ... well, he was here a second ago ...

We also meet, Daniel Gorski (juggler), Duban Nickol (visual, comic clown), Elissa Cadwell (Aerialist), and Stephan Le Forestier (mime artist).

We discuss

The brashness of the name, Circus of ILLUSION
Take home magic
The history of illusion
Two ways of watching magic
Patience, persistance and precision - secret to juggling and life
Steve's definition of mime: The art where the curtain is pulled back from the heart
