 Bonus Podcast - Matt on BBC Radio Cambridgeshire [24:51m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Back in the summer of 2007, I made a couple of appearances on BBC Radio Cambridgeshire on the Sue Dougan afternoon show. I went on the show alongside the artistic director of the Cambridge Shakespeare Festival David Crilly to promote the show A Midsummer Night’s Dream which I was appearing in at the time.

I performed several magic effects on the show and I thought you, my lovely Smoke & Mirrors listeners, might like to hear a slightly different type of radio magic show.

Let me know what you think by clicking ‘Comments’ below.

After a great show earlier this evening with Fay Presto (which will be online soon), the gents at Resonance FM and myself had a chat and decided that it was best to put the last show back one week, to the 23rd June.

There’s a couple of reasons for this, mainly due to the fact that Resonance is having to undergo some emergency work on the studios for a week, starting on 15th June until 22nd June.

There’s also the fact that 16th June (when the show was originally due to go out) is the opening night of a new play that I’m performing in at The Union Theatre. For all the info, check out Upstart-Theatre.co.uk or MatthewDuggan.co.uk.

All of this means that moving the last show – with John Van Der Put as my guest – makes sense. So tune in to the show on 23rd June. In the meantime, check out all the previous episodes via iTunes or by clicking on Podcast Episodes.

I’m pleased to announce that my guest for episode nine of Smoke & Mirrors will be the excellent Fay Presto!

The show will be dedicated to female magicians and asking some of the more challenging questions, like why there aren’t more women in magic, what puts them off and even whether magic is inherently chauvinistic.

We’ll also take a look at Fay’s career and how she has risen to be one of the most prominent names in British close-up magic.

Tune in at 6pm GMT for the penultimate episode of Smoke & Mirrors on 104.4FM in London and online across the world at ResonanceFM.com.

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.

 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!

I was working with the excellent collective of artists, musicians, producers and film makers known as Jammin’ Crew over the weekend and we made this short interactive magic video as a trailer to my website WorkingMagic.co.uk.

As well asplacing it on my website and YouTube, I thought I’d share it with you, dear listeners. Let me know if I get your card right…
