Smoke & Mirrors – The Magic Radio Show

Posts Tagged ‘Magic Radio Show’

I mentioned during the seventh episode of Smoke & Mirrors that I would post some videos of escapologist Jonathan Goodwin doing his thing on his show One Way Out on The Discovery Channel. I think you know what’s coming next…

The following are the long trailer for The Discovery Channel show, the live hanging that Jonathan mentions on the show and the amazing/horrific scorpion escape. Enjoy!

 

 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!

Hello folks!

Just wanted to let all you regular listeners know that the podcasts of shows 6, 7 and 8 will be out this weekend, along with all the details of the guests. I’ll also be updating the site with details of my last two shows in the series.

The reason for the delay in podcasts is partly due to a few issues at Resonance FM, but also due to me working on a couple of other projects at the same time as the radio show, namely my acting career. For details of those upcoming projects, check out www.MatthewDuggan.co.uk.

Stay tuned for the podcasts and subscribe to the site for all the updates about these and future shows.

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.

Join us on Resonance 104.4FM in London and online throughout the world at ResonanceFM.com

 

 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.

For more information on Marc, check out www.marcpaul.com.

I’m delighted to announce that the quite literally legendary Paul Daniels will be appearing on the show tomorrow, Tuesday 12th May.

Paul will be on the phone talking to us about TV magic and his glittering career. We’ll discuss the new wave of TV magic from the likes of David Blaine and Criss Angel as well as how magic is created for TV instead of for stage.

Join us at 6pm on Tuesday for a great show with a star of British and world magic on Resonance FM!
