The Mystery Behind Magic

Reading magic books is something that’s often advocated by many magicians. Last year Jeff Kowalk decided to start a YouTube channel called Erudite Magic, specifically about reading magic books. In this episode we spoke with Jeff about his YouTube channel and also a lot about reading magic books! The episode was full of ideas on reading magic books and we hope you enjoy it. We also recommend you check out Jeff’s YouTube channel, Erudite Magic! https://www.instagram.com/psychiccpa/?hl=en https://www.facebook.com/psychiccpa https://twitter.com/psychiccpa https://psychiccpa.com/ https://www.youtube.com/c/EruditeMagic/about --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sign up to our newsletter: https://themysterybehindmagic.co.uk/newsletter/ Sign up to our Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/334524104764560 Website: https://themysterybehindmagic.co.uk/ Email: hello@the.mystery.behind.magic.co.uk Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.mystery.behind.magic/ ------------------------------------------------------------------  ------------------------------------------------------------------ Personal Instagram’s Csanád: https://www.instagram.com/csanad.kiss/ Robbie: https://www.instagram.com/robbie_stevens_/ Robbie’s YouTube Robbie Stevens

Science and Magic. You wouldn’t often expect to hear those two words together. However in this weeks episode we spoke with Matt Pritchard about combining his love of science with his love of magic. He explains how he can use magic to teach science and use science in magic. Alongside this, we also talked to him about being a “curator of wonder” and his TEDx Talk, “The quantum state of wonder”. We also discussed the sequence of thoughts by our audiences when they see a trick this was a topic he covered in his TEDx Talk and we thought it was really interesting and thought we could ask questions about it and talk about it more!  https://www.instagram.com/sciencemagician/ https://www.sciencemagicshows.co.uk/ https://wordsonwonder.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sign up to our newsletter: https://themysterybehindmagic.co.uk/newsletter/ Sign up to our Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/334524104764560 Website: https://themysterybehindmagic.co.uk/ Email: hello@the.mystery.behind.magic.co.uk Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.mystery.behind.magic/ ------------------------------------------------------------------  ------------------------------------------------------------------ Personal Instagram’s Csanád: https://www.instagram.com/csanad.kiss/ Robbie: https://www.instagram.com/robbie_stevens_/ Robbie’s YouTube Robbie Stevens

Studying magic at university for many magicians must seem like a dream come true.  In this week’s episode we spoke with the lovely Will Houstoun - who actually does have a PhD in magic history! There was a ton of things covered in this episode that were slightly more academic than usual.  Will spoke to us about his work with Imperial College London and using magic in an educational context as well as chatting to us about video chat magic and his involvement in the effective altruism movement and how that way of thinking could be applied to making the magic world a better place.  We also discussed a side hobby of Will's calligraphy, and why its important to have other hobby's than magic! http://drhoustoun.com/ http://drhoustoun.com/social/ https://youtu.be/p4ns7Chi0VE --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sign up to our newsletter: https://themysterybehindmagic.co.uk/newsletter/ Sign up to our Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/334524104764560 Website: https://themysterybehindmagic.co.uk/ Email: hello@the.mystery.behind.magic.co.uk Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.mystery.behind.magic/ ------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------ Personal Instagram’s Csanád: https://www.instagram.com/csanad.kiss/ Robbie: https://www.instagram.com/robbie_stevens_/ Robbie’s YouTube Robbie Stevens
