Paul Kieve, the backstage wizard of stage and screen, joined me in the studio for this episode of my radio show on Resonance FM.

Although you may not recognise his work, you will almost certainly have seen his magic. For example, Paul taught magic to Daniel Radcliffe and the cast of Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban as well as being magic consultant to director Alfonso Cuaron in order to produce some ‘real’ magic in the finished movie. During the discussion, we looked back through the ages at this largely unknown side of magic and discussed some of Paul’s heroes, as well as his own illustrious career.

Listen in to my radio show on Tuesday 5th May at 6pm GMT for a rip-roaring episode of Smoke & Mirrors on Resonance FM. I’ll be joined by mentalist and mindreader Marc Paul to discuss all things mental (well, in a magic sense at least).

Marc has been voted ‘World’s Greatest Mindreader’ and as well as discussing his remarkable skills, he will be sharing them with us by performing live in the studio.

Tune in on Tuesday at 6pm GMT via Resonance FM or on 104.4FM in London.

Here it is folks!

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.

The second episode of my radio show – Smoke & Mirrors – will air this coming Tuesday, 21st April at 6pm GMT on 104.4FM if you’re in London or online across the world at http://resonancefm.com.

This week’s guest is Brian Sibley, a wonderful writer and broadcaster. We’ll be talking about the recent history of magic and the people who shaped the type of magic my fellow magicians and I perform today.

As you may have noticed, the site is looking quite sparse at the moment. This is because after several months of waiting for a web designer to create my site, I decided to take things into my own magical hands and redesign my site myself.

As a result, I’m overhauling the whole site, which should be all written and uploaded by Friday night, 10th April. This will mean that I’m in plenty of time for the start of my radio show on Resonance FM, all about the art of magic. Exciting times!

Stay tuned for more info.
