The Insider

Harrison is funny and does magic. What more do you need to know?

We have a chat about shoving nails up your nose, AGT, Conan, developing original material and roasts. Enjoy. 

In this week’s episode Scott Robinson talks with us about his creative process, a soft touch, TRICS, Sleight Club, how to make a move your own and - of course - his new book “Pure Imagination”. Launched last weekend at TRICS, the book sold out immediately. It officially hits the magic stores tomorrow (12th November 2019).

Nikola Arkane is best known in her native Northern Ireland as a children's magician. Indeed, she is the only professional female magician there. She also is a close up performer and has recently won two IBM competitions and recently performed for a week in the close up room at The Magic Castle. 

We chat about her first and worst ever gig, the issues she had performing close up initially, her love of music and her new book all about the practical side of running a children's magic business. 

And Sweden. 

This is an amazing episode. You'll learn so much about performance. How important a breath is. Why being interested is better than being interesting. Why clowns have red noses.

If you enjoy the show, we'd love it if you told a magician friend or two. 

A huge star in his homeland, Wolfgang Moser talks with us about Fool Us, Think A Drink and his process for creating unique magic. Enjoy. 

Today, we have the creator of "Socks" and "Priceless", Michel Hout. Michel is a busy corporate magician and offers some amazing insights into that world in this episode. Also, the story about the creation of "Priceless" is worth the price of admission alone. Enjoy. 

(There were a couple of technical issues with this week's show - some stray pops and clicks and weirdness. I fixed them as best I could - hope it doesn't interfere with your enjoyment of the show). 

He's tall. He's Scottish. He's done Edinburgh Fringe for 28 consecutive years and made a profit each year. That's remarkable. In this episode, Ian shares all he has learnt from doing oh so many Fringe shows. You'd do well to listen when Ian speaks. You're likely to learn something.

Oh, and in the show he mentions Isis. That is my daughter, not the terrorist organisation - just to avoid confusion. 

Eric and I talk about making magic videos every day for a year, how YouTube landed him not one, but two highly successful TV gigs, the crossover between adult and kid magic, and a whole load more besides. 

This is just a super short PSA to let you know we're taking a summer break, but will be back in September with a whole boatload of amazing guests. Stay tuned. 

Yup. Him David Regal. And in this episode we talk about secrets, interpreting magic, rug rats, the hot rod force, his new book and of course, The Carbanaro Effect.
