Ep 95 The Life of Eddie Joseph, Magic Writer and Magician
Today, I offer a hidden gem. A fantastic artist who I knew nothing about, but turns out to be an amazing magician, writer, and creator. He invented effects that are still done today, he wrote countless columns in magazines, and had 70+ of his own publications. He did card magic, coin magic, mentalism, escapes, pick pocketing, and even magic over the radio! In fact, I finish the podcast today with one of his effects, so for the first time on this podcast, I'll be presenting 'Podcast Magic!'.
In addition, because it's magic month, I'm putting my Magic Detective t-shirt on sale. Just go to MagicHistorian.com to get your t-shirt, and help support and promote the podcast!
