Brain Hacks withg Lauren Turner Part 3: The Payoff02 Jul 202201:24:38

#029 - This is the final installment of my three-part series with my dear friend Lauren Turner on the subject of fear.

Not only do we get into some of our greatest successes, but we also outline some of our failures, too. Things can and do go wrong. This kind of performance isn't for everyone.

How Old-School Magicians are WRONG!11 Jun 202200:35:42

#026 - In this sure-to-be controversial episode, I tackle one of the great 'truisms' in magic: BOOKS! There are magicians out there claiming there is only ONE way to learn magic and that's by reading. I LOVE books. I'm a writer. I read and write every day. Books give you a LOT of detail in learning about the psychology of magic. The theories. The thinking behind great performances. And you get more tricks, more "stuff" in a single book. Some of my friends have written some of the greatest books for magicians ever! But I don't care for learning sleight of hand from books. I will defend the written word with my dying breath. But to claim there is only ONE way to learn magic and dismiss any other method is WRONG...and I have the science to back it up! Listen in on my rant where I defend magicians' rights to learn magic in any way they see fit.

19 Tips for College Show Success28 May 202200:38:26

#024 - Have you ever thought about performing in colleges? I'm about to drop a bombshell on you - movies and TV have lied to you. Colleges are not about chaos and non-stop parties like "Animal House" or (to use a more modern example) "Accepted." College shows are a lot of fun with the right material, but go in with the wrong attitude or ignore some of the advice I'm going to share and you could find yourself shown to the door! Learn from my decades of experience how to survive the misunderstood world of college performance.

Why Words Matter with Brian Scott Ambrosch21 May 202201:28:23

#023 - Tired of all the 'woke' talk? Rather avoid all the PC talk? You can breathe a sigh of relief. This episode isn't about either of those things. It's about human decency. It's an exploration of one of the most important topics We've ever tackled on The Professional Magician podcast. It's all about the words we say and how they may affect our audience members. It's about being careful to use gender-neutral terms. Why "Hey guys" doesn't work anymore. Why the dreadful "Oh that was my name when I was a little girl" joke is decades past its sell-by date. Join me and my guest Brian Scott Ambrosch for a topic that I think every magician needs to hear, regardless of your niche.

5 Magic Lessons from "Knight Rider"09 Apr 202200:46:45

#017 - In this solo episode, I outline 5 lessons in magic from the old 80's TV show "Knight Rider." In case you're not familiar with it, the show featured a pre-Baywatch David Hasselhoff as a crime fighter partnered with a high-tech talking car. 

The show WON'T go down as a well-respected classic! I analyzed the show and found several instances of bad acting and bad scripting to serve as examples of what NOT to do as a magician! This was a really fun show to record and if you want to improve yor performing and scripting,  this is a must-listen!
