09/02/19 • 61 min

Well, due to an unfortunate technical issue, the interview I recorded for this week's episode was lost. But rather than leave you without a podcast, I recorded a late night episode about a subject I find really interesting--unsolved and/or legendary effects in magic and mentalism. I cover 51 Faces North, The Berglas Effect, and 2 others. In the review section, I talk about 'The Open Prediction Project' By Thomas Baxter, 'False Anchors 4' by Ryan Schlutz, and 'Unveil' by Manos Kartsakis.
