Come meet us and chat on April 30 online at the Online Wonder Gala!
This is as big an event as Justice League v Avengers. We talk equality in magic, and fix/rename problematic but popular effects!
We discuss Helder Guimarães' show "The Present" from the Geffen Playhouse!
No description needed. One of the best magicians alive joins us for a conversation.
Max Temkin co-created Cards Against Humanity, Secret Hitler, and now with Simon Coronel and Jordan Gold he is launching the Magic Puzzle Company. But we talk about way more than that.
Check out their Kickstarter:

Here's the link to Jared Kopf's "Folk Magic", the free book on three tricks that Max mentions:

One of the best magicians we know Eddy Xu joins our podcast! We hear about learning magic growing up in China, the differences between audiences there and here, and what methods Eddy likes that aren't used as much as you would think.
Follow him on Instagram @magic_jiayi right now!
Also discussed: Lior Suchard on Quibi, video magic, and what to binge!

Nick Paul and Simon Coronel from Two Magicians One Mic were nice enough to ask us to guest on their podcast, so we did! And now we bring that episode to you, through almost no effort on our own. Enjoy!
Don't forget next week we'll be discussing the "World's Greatest Magicians at the Magic Castle", so watch it on YouTube here:

We talk the nominees and John's picks for the winners, and also his exciting week filling in at the Peller with Robert Ramirez AND Taylor Hughes!
We are joined by the amazing Jonathan Levit and we discuss his artistic journey, his life as a creator of magic, and of course, his latest incredible project The Stranger.
Don't forget to go to twistingtheaces.com to see what's on offer, and hopefully one day digitalmountaintop.com will also be a thing!
We talk about David Stone's lecture at the Magic Apple. Chris demonstrates Garrett Thomas's OPUS, in audio only. And we both curse Eddy Xu's incredible skill.
Here's the "Wizard People, Dear Reader" revisionist Harry Potter that Chris talked about!

John recaps his week in the Peller at the Magic Castle doing a two-person show with Robert Ramirez. Chris demonstrates a really terrible Truffle Shuffle 2.0, but you can't see it, so there.
But other stuff too, John's show this week at the Peller, Chris's medical maladies, and more!
John Accardo & Robert Ramirez live at the Peller Theater at the Magic Castle this week! And see John at Chicago Magic Lounge from April 19 to 26!
John & Chris talk about FISMs, feeling worth in jam sessions, and the general friendliness of magicians. Stay all the way to the end to hear Justin & Theron's recap of the Avner the Eccentric workshop from Magifest!
We chat about all the Saturday antics at Magifest!
We talk about Columbus, lectures, dealer's rooms, gripes, loves, and more. AND NOW APPLAUD.
