There is suddenly a new genre in magic, what do you do about it?

Do you, ignore it and complain how it isn't as good as another one?

Completely disregard it?

Or start working on it, so you become the best at it?

I think for most people it is going to be a mix of it all, everything in life has a positive and negative, after all, and we get the opportunity to look at it in two different ways. 

Noel, at the beginning of the pandemic, jumped fairly quickly on the bus of online shows, he built a studio and having some experience in T.V set up the gear to make it look good. And know, he recently performed on probably the most renowned zoom show of it all, Penn and Teller Fool Us. 

In this episode, he shares with us the experience he had performing for Penn and Teller, and what went on behind the scenes. 

We also talked about, how he got into magic, when and how he became known as the 'iPad Magician' and what he thinks of online shows overall.

Finding your niche in anything is a key thing to do if you want to be successful, and when Steven joined youtube, nobody was doing what he was doing, he made good quality content and for that (and some others) he now has just shy of 200K. Steven reveals some new information to do with his youtube channel, so listen carefully...

Steven has been busking for a long time now, and he definitely has a lot of skill in it, he shares some of his experiences on this podcast. 

We also talk about his interactive course, Magic Mastery, what it is, what he aims to do with it etc.

The age-old question (well not really more like a year old question), what is better, online or live shows?

Most people say live shows, they say there are so many more positives, however, is that really the case?

Mark James has been touring and has been performing in various venues all around the U.K and the world for years, and with him, we discuss the positives and the negatives of both, online and live shows.

But not only do we discuss that, but also why he eats fire and juggles, and then we talked about his new and up and coming business, Curious Monkey Incorporations, and what you can expect from that!

I think that we can all agree that being creative is such a useful thing to be able to do, especially in magic. 

Imagine if we didn't put our own 'spin' on effects and routine, imagine how boring magic would be, Boris talks more in-depth on why this is so important. 

Boris also discusses different ways magicians look at Penn and Teller Fool Us.

Fun, fast-paced, silly and exciting.

Those four words don't usually relate to mentalism, but Chris Cox changes that.

He adds his very fun, almost comic-like character to his shows, which makes him memorable!

It is important to find our characters in magic, so we don't copy another magician, but also so we can have the most fun performing as we are performing then as someone we want, and Chris has found that.

Some mentalist 'watches' body language to 'read' a spectator, but Chris uses slightly un-orthodox methods...

A non-performing magician, what?

Most of us magicians perform in front of other people and keep performing magic as that's what they like about it, to see peoples reactions, however, for Rory, it's a little different. He doesn't really perform magic, but rather writes and produces for it.

And in today's episode, that's what we discuss, as well as his book and club, only ideas, projects he has let go of and future projects that he's working on!

What do you want your audience to feel when they watch you perform? That's a question that we think about when we are putting a routine, but do you actually know what the audience feels and thinks about when you perform?

Have you asked them? If so, did they all say the same or similar thing?

Today we had the incredible Matthew Le Motteé on to talk about his journey in magic, how to improve your routine and so much more!

A little about Matthew, he has won the close-up magician of the year three times, in a row! (2017,2018,2019)

He was the first-ever magician to win 3 in a row, he shared with us a bit of the journey that he went on, but also how he won, or what helped him to win. Not only did he win, but he is also one of the examiners judging the competition!
