EP92: Knowing Yourself with Adam Cooper and Ian Brennan

As well as being an exceptionally talented close up magician Adam Cooper is one of the genuinely nicest people I have the pleasure of knowing. In Episode 92 Adam and Ian talk about how to use your character to your benefit in your performance and how to win your crowd over with your quirks rather than push them away.

This turned out to be one of our longest episodes ever but we hope you will agree it is packed with tonnes of experience and advice and we would like to share a huge thank you to Adam for his time and honest comments.

Sadly no Phil on this episode due to scheduling restrictions.

Ep89: Blackpool 2019 Final Thoughts

So here it is. We have been to Blackpool Magic convention 2019 and had an amazing time! Well done to the  team who organised it all and sincerer thanks for all their hard work. The resounding comment we seem to hear is: "The best one ever!"

This podcast was recorded on the drive home in Shaun's car as Phil, Ian and Shaun talk about their experiences and what they thought of it all. There was a tonne of background noise and we have managed to reduce a lot of it for you but there is still some on the track. Our apologies for that. We didn't get time to send this out to our editor who does an amazing job at making sure they normally sound smooth and gorgeous.
