 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.

 The Final Episode of The Smoke & Mirrors Radio Show Magicast [30:13m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Having spoken about him in several prior episodes of The Magic News, I’m pleased to say that John Van Der Put joins us in the studio for this last episode of the Smoke & Mirrors Magicast.

John is a prolific creator of magic and mystery, as well as the artistic director of StandNotAmazed theatre company who create magical theatre and theatrical magic. John also has an alter ego who joins us (very briefly) in the studio known simply as Piff The Magic Dragon.

John and I discuss the creation of magic for theatre, his upcoming shows and the moment that Piff was born. John’s writing partner(!) also joins us briefly and we find the one thing that John and Barack Obama have in common. What a rip-roaring show it was!

 

 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!

 

 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.

The first show aired last night on Resonance FM!

From the first bit of feedback I’ve had from the radio station manager and from friends that were listening is that it came across well and was interesting.

Hi folks,

Welcome to the new look Smoke & Mirrors site.

Having used a template to save time on getting the site together for the first show – which aired last night – I’ve re-designed the site to be a bit more user-friendly. Let me know what you think via info@smokeandmirrorsradioshow.com.
