Eric Mead is a gifted performer, a creator, an author, a genuinely funny human being, and the man responsible for the ten-percent solution on Penn & Teller: Fool Us. His book, Tangled Web, is full of great routines, and is required reading for those of you interested in memorized deck magic.

Eric chimed in on one of my Facebook live video broadcasts. It had been a while since we had chatted; I thought this would be the perfect time to catch up with him.

The conversation ranged from Eric’s thoughts on Zoom magic shows to his relationship with Paul Harris and his involvement in the Art of Astonishment books.
