A podcast that’s both necessary and authentic

There aren’t enough “real” voices in magic. This podcast helps that problem, and it does so while talking about issues that are positive and influential to magic pros and magic beginners. I always enjoy listening to new episodes.

Recommended for performers

Any performer (of magic or otherwise) needs to be relevant to the audience, to connect. And that connection begins with understanding. While it's not going to provide all of the solutions, this podcast will get you thinking about your onstage persona and whether it could have a stronger impact with simple tonal shifts. The very best acts continuously evolve by taking in new ideas, and Shezam gives voice to an increasingly important perspective. A very welcome addition to the many marvelous resources available to magicians today.

Dang, that’s Hot!

All kidding aside these two young ladies are amazing ... on and off stage! What a fun new perspective on the world of magic. Entertaining and informative I’ve been listening from the very start. Do yourself a favor and subscribe if you have the least bit of interest in Magic!
