Magicians Advice Podcast

It was very difficult to come up with a title for this episode as there was so much covered! Paul talks about creating a one man show – the thought process behind it and how he has put his together. He talks about TV work- creating a seemingly endless stream of new material which works on Countdown and how to take into account things Like camera angles and restrictions. Paul also mentions talent shows like BGT as well as a host of other topics. The thing which comes through the most is that Paul has a huge passion in what he performs and is there to make magic the best it can be.

It was a real pleasure to talk with Paul, our sincere thanks to him for coming onto our show. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we did recording it.

Ep100: A Chat With Michael Vincent.

Phil and Ian are joined by legendary magician, Michael Vincent. The conversation is steered by recent events in the magic community and something close to our hearts – mental health. With a growing number of magicians becoming open about issues with mental health we have also touched on the subject here. Remember – it's OK to not feel OK.

Don't be afraid to speak out to your friends and family about your dark times and your struggles, or if you can't speak with them seek an independent professional who will be able to help you. You do not need to go through things on your own.
