The Insider

He's annoyingly talented and really nice too. I hate him. It's Andrew Frost (Instagram's @sleightlyobsessed). We chit chat about magic books, dead magicians and sleight of hand. I think you'll enjoy it. 

Welcome to the brand new season of The Insider. And I gotta tell you, it's a big season. Some amazing names lined up. 

Very happy to be starting episode one with none other than Shin Lim! 

A million subs on YouTube. 830,000 followers on Instagram. Won IBM after doing magic for 3 years, then went on to win FISM, then went on to win AGT. Then win AGT The finalists.  He also has amazing hair.

Join Shin, along with Allan Ackerman, Jason England and Josh and Andi on the 25th of October for an online event devoted to card magic. Details here: https://www.vanishingincmagic.com/magic-conventions/experts-at-the-card-table/

Our interview with Teller continues from last week. And there is some fantastic news right at the very end for everyone wondering if Teller would every write a book of his material...

It's Teller. That's all you need to know. Tune in next week for part two. 

Ricky Smith has some chops. From creating the Cherry Control to the classic Any Card At Any Vowel, Ricky is super talented, but doesn't come into the spotlight much, preferring his underground bunker. 

To celebrate the release of two sets of notes, we persuaded him to chat with us. Enjoy. 

Today's guest started off as a street performing mime and ended up as one of the most-loved stage magicians in the world. Find out how Tina Lenart went from a raggedy ann doll to where she is today. Along the way we talk about creativity, character, the time she spent with Andy Kaufman and so much more. 

Not seen in magic for about ten years, this is the first interview in, well, a very long time with the amazing Ben Harris. We discuss piracy, his love of levitations, his sometimes controversial marketing and his new book, Machinations. 

OK, yes, it's slightly shorter than the usual 30 minutes. But that's just the way it goes with a 2 parter. 

It's part 2 of the interview with Piff. It's Piff. It's hilarious. That's all you need to know. 

The single most chaotic and hilarious episode of the show yet. The initial recording ran for almost an hour, so rather than cut out any, I've decided to break tradition and make this a two parter. Tune in next week for part two. 

My guest today has done it all. Won The Magic Circle’s close up magician of the year not once, but three times, Fool Us twice, lots of other TV appearances including Paul Daniels’ show. He’s put out many amazing DVDs including Tapestry of Deception and the Classic Magic of Michael Vincent. It is, of course, Mike Vincent.

As promised, here's a link to his Instagram: Fuji Warrior
