Instead, this episode is filled with hope, and how we can all have every bit of success in this world of the 'new normal.' | |||

| Brain Hacks withg Lauren Turner Part 3: The Payoff | 02 Jul 2022 | 01:24:38 | |

Learn more about my magician "origin story" and how willing and eager audiences respond to this unique style of performing in the second of my three-part series with Lauren Turner with "Brain Hacks!" | |||
| Brain Hacks with Lauren Turner Part 1: How to Frighten Audiences for Bizarre Shows | 18 Jun 2022 | 01:02:42 | |

And he's produced some of the scariest magic/haunted events I've ever seen. In the first of a three-part series, Lauren Turner outlines the neuroscience behind tapping into fear to create truly scary events for audiences.

| How Old-School Magicians are WRONG! | 11 Jun 2022 | 00:35:42 | |
#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. | |||

#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 Ambrosch | 21 May 2022 | 01:28:23 | |
#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. | |||
