    Ella Nicholson

    Ella Nicholson is proof that magic's next generation is already here. The Irish teenager made her national television debut on Penn & Teller: Fool Us, and since then has continued to build a reputation for her creative magic. She's one of magic's future stars and we first met her as a Youth Scholar two years ago at The Session. At the end, Damian's 12 year old daughter, Isis, hops on to ask Ella some questions of her own.

    In this episode, Damian interviews Director Matthew Testa and our own Andi Gladwin about their documentary on magic piracy, the investigation into Erdnase, and the broader implications for the magic community and creative industries.

    Gaia Elisa Rossi

    Gaia started performing magic at the age of thirteen — and won the Italian Magic Championship that same year. She went on to become the only woman in history to hold that title, and has since competed as a finalist at the World Magic Championships. But what makes her truly unusual is what she does off the stage. She holds a degree in psychology, is training as a clinical psychologist, and has taken magic into prisons as a tool for reform. She's spoken at TEDx Milano Women, written for magic publications, and built a practice that treats illusion as a branch of human science. She performs and speaks in Italian, English, and French, and she grew up watching her parents rehearse magic in their living room — which, honestly, explains a lot.
