 The Magicast - Episode Seven [29:52m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

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!

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!

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.

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!
