 The Magicast - Episode Six [27:42m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Psychologist and former professional magician Richard Wiseman – author of Quirkology – joins me for this edition of the show and indeed the magicast.

We discuss the way magic can be used to understand the human mind and why magic works as an entertainment, from the point of view of a man who has worked in both magic and psychology.

Richard was a fascinating guest and the podcast is a very good one indeed.

Speaking of podcasts, apologies for the delay in getting this episode and episode seven out. Between Resonance FM and myself, we’ve had several issues that have made podcasting rather challenging. I’m getting caught up now and will be up-to-date shortly.

Enjoy the show!

 

 The Magicast - Episode Five - Paul Daniels [30:34m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Paul Daniels was my guest on the show in this, the fifth podcast in the series. I know many of you have been waiting to hear this one, as Paul is a living legend of TV magic, having been on UK television for a total of 16 years with The Paul Daniels Magic Show and Secrets.

Paul was a complete delight to have on the show and we even had a quick impromptu chat with ‘The Lovely Debbie McGee’. To find out more about Paul, check out www.pauldaniels.co.uk or follow him on Twitter.

Enjoy the show!

Tune in to the show on Tuesday 19th May at 6pm GMT for what promises to be one of the most fascinating shows yet.

I’ll be joined by professor of psychology and former professional magician Richard Wiseman to discuss the psychological side of magic. We’ll look at the way in which magic affects the brain and even the way in which it can show us how the brain processes information.

 Smoke & Mirrors - Episode Four - Marc Paul [29:36m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

For this episode I was delighted to be joined in the studio by one of my magic heroes, performer Marc Paul. An amazing psychological entertainer, Marc and I discussed the art of mindreading, finding out where it came from and how Marc went from being a regular close-up magician to being the ‘World’s Greatest Mindreader’. We also look at performers like the Fox sisters and their spirit medium act and find out why Houdini dedicated so much of his time debunking spiritualists like them.

Julia also joins us with the magic news and as always, we’ll tell you where you can see magic in the capital this week.

 Magicast Episode Three - Paul Kieve [28:34m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Paul Kieve, the backstage wizard of stage and screen, joins us in the studio this week.

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. We’ll be looking back through the ages at this side of magic and discussing some of Paul’s heroes, as well as his own illustrious career.

We also cover all the upcoming magic that’s happening in and around London in The Magic News.

Listen in to the 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.
