Here it is folks!

CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO EPISODE TWO

Episode two of the mystical Smoke & Mirrors podcast (or Magicast as I’m calling it from now on) has arrived!

For this show, I’m joined in the studio by author, broadcaster and Member of The Magic Circle Brian Sibley. We pick up where we left off with Peter Lane last week, talking about the more recent history of magic. We look at some of the characters that have shaped modern magic including Chung Ling Soo and Jean-Eugene Robert-Houdin, the father of modern magic. We also look at why London was one of the centres of magic in the world throughout the 20th Century and Brian will be talking about his collaborations with the magicians of cinema like Peter Jackson on Lord of the Rings.

As always, the lovely Julia will be here with the magic news and we’ll be telling you where you can see magic in the capital this week.

Tune in to 104.4FM here in London and online across the world at http://resonancefm.com/listen every Tuesday at 6pm GMT to hear the show live and again every Friday at 10pm GMT for the repeat.

You can now listen to the interview I did on The Hannah & Alex Show either by listening at http://hannahandalex.mypodcast.com/ or by looking up The Hannah & Alex Show on iTunes and downloading it there.

My interview is on episode 49, entitled ‘Munuh Munuh & Magic’.

Stay tuned for more podcast and general magic news!

A couple of days ago, I was interviewed by the lovely Hannah and Alex from the aptly titled The Hannah & Alex Show. You can subscribe to their lovely, cuddly podcast via iTunes or via their very own podcasting site. I think my interview will be on episode 49 of the show.

It’s a great show with top features like the audio letter from Ben in Canada, the ‘Top Two At Ten To’ and ‘Spread the Word’. In fact, to see what I was spreading the word about on their show, check out Alex’s video The Houseguest – muchos funny.
