Mark is amazing

Mark is so genuine, intelligent, and full of energy. i’ve listened to this podcast for years and just listening even after I stopped playing really makes me appreciate what goes into this product. The way, Mark approaches. It is such a science of creativity, even if you don’t play magic you could actually apply how he approaches this subject and create a similar process for things in your life that would benefit you.

Thank you MaRo

My son, who got me into this amazing multi-plane world, is my Sensei for all things Magic…I asked him how he can retain all the facts and figures from Magic’s long history, and he attributes MaRo’s podcasts for keeping him constantly refreshed…And I never miss them!
