We’ve got two options for you podcast fans who maybe fell a bit behind on your listening over the holidays. Discourse in Magic, an excellent resource for magic education, has posted its first episode of 2018. There’s no special guest on this show. It’s just co-hosts Jonah and Tyler waxing philosophical and attempting to answer …

It’s a veritable Swedish Invasion this week at the Magic Castle, with performances by Peter Gröning, John Houdi, Tom Stone, Axel Adler, and Hakån Berg rounding out a week of great magic.

Every performer has had to deal with That Guy Who Thinks He’s Funny, and over time, you learn how to shut him down.
