46: The Incredible History Behind Magic - Will Houstoun

1 hour 12 minutes

Studying magic at university for many magicians must seem like a dream come true.

In this week’s episode we spoke with the lovely Will Houstoun - who actually does have a PhD in magic history! There was a ton of things covered in this episode that were slightly more academic than usual.

Will spoke to us about his work with Imperial College London and using magic in an educational context as well as chatting to us about video chat magic and his involvement in the effective altruism movement and how that way of thinking could be applied to making the magic world a better place.

We also discussed a side hobby of Will's calligraphy, and why its important to have other hobby's than magic!
