Smoke & Mirrors – The Magic Radio Show

Posts Tagged ‘Matthew Duggan’

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!

We get all showbiz in this week’s show as we talk to Discovery Channel star and top escapologist Jonathan Goodwin, live on the phone from Los Angeles, California.

Jonathan is a top performer who is the feature performer on One Way Out – a show with death-defying escapes and mad science (including Jonathan escaping from handcuffs while trying to keep as still as possible to ensure the scorpion in his mouth didn’t try to maim him). I’ll post some of the videos of Jonathan from his show, but in the meantime, enjoy this excellent episode of the podcast from one of the loveliest people in the world of bonkers stunts and escapes!

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.

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…
