Ever wondered what it's like to witness magic that leaves even the best performers in awe? Join us for a mesmerising episode where we recount an extraordinary night orchestrated by Andy Frost from Derren Brown's team at the Oracle Bar. Our special guest, Adam Dadswell, takes us on his magical journey from a young performer to a mentalism maestro. Adam shares his transition from card magic to the art of mentalism, and his excitement to present his craft to the magic community. 

Prepare to be captivated as we discuss the top magic routines that consistently leave audiences spellbound. From the classic "Card Under Box" trick to James Brown's "Box Clever," we highlight why these routines are essential for any table-hopping magician. Dive into the world of binary choices with engaging 50-50 routines, and discover the allure of effects like Ben Earl's "Probably Impossible" and the versatile "Sneak Thief." Whether it's the simplicity of a folded business card or the complexity of mentalism, these tricks demonstrate the power of creating memorable magical moments.

In the final segment, embark on a journey through modern mentalism with a deep dive into personal routines like the "witch hand" trick. Drawing inspiration from Scott Creasy and Jamie Daws' "The Tracker," we explore how to read body language and extract hidden information. Relive a heartwarming magical evening in Liverpool with Darren Brown and his team, and reflect on how magic can influence personal relationships and family connections. This episode is packed with magical insights, personal stories, and enchanting performances that will leave you feeling inspired and amazed.
