With your magic alone, you cannot effectively touch your audience in a Grand Illusion show. You need theatrics. Telling a story in a Grand Illusion show engages the audience, stimulates them intellectually, and sets you apart from the rest. So look at ways to tell a story in a theatrical way and strive to be different.

Some food for thought.

Hi All,

To begin, we have posted a new episode of Magic! - The Podcast on the website. Besides that, the podcast just keeps getting better! We have transferred to Macintosh-based production and the difference is easy to hear - the sound is amazing. That aside, we have reached a new level of excellence with our new formatting - delivering you the most comprehensive coverage on magic available in the most concise way. Season 2 brings the Magic Soundtrack - comprised of custom, studio quality songs to listen to between segments. We hope you tune in to Magic! and be on the lookout for our iTunes listing!

Sammy
