Scott Alexander is one of magic’s few general practitioners, equally adept at close-up, parlor, and stage magic. He has created and marketed some excellent, professional-caliber routines. He was also a close friend to the late Denny Haney, whom he considers to be his mentor.

Later this month, Scott will release Denny Haney: Collected Wisdom – The Life, Lessons, and Legacy of Denny Haney and the Denny & Lee Magic Show. It is a big book, full of great stories, sound advice, and terrific, fully worked-out magic. (You can read a full review of the book on my website.)

I spoke with Scott at the end of 2020. We talked about his career in magic, how he met and worked with Denny, and how this book came to be. Scott is a fount of knowledge on all things magical. I know you’re going to enjoy our conversation.
