Between the devastating attack in Las Vegas, the loss of Tom Petty, and the general state of things in the world, it’s easy to get wrapped in despair. Rather than avoiding these feelings, Hannibal faces them head-on in his Across the Table podcast. In this week’s episode, he candidly discusses his thoughts from his recent trip to Nuremberg, Germany, and how he tried to find the inspiration to perform his emotional ‘Silver Memories’ routine at Genii Convention 2017 in spite of everything going on. “[A magician’s] job is to spread love, our job is to uplift, to say there is a better way,” Hannibal says—words to keep close to all our hearts.
