PAST MASTERS - AN AUDIO EXPERIENCE
The beginning of something lovely, the words of the 'PAST MASTERS' brought to life, listen as you work, drive, walk or sit with a cuppa tea and contemplate.
Here's the deal, every now and then I'll post one of these audio only PODCAST type feature presentations, and it will be focused on the words of a famous or underground magi from the past. Your job will be to guess who it is I'm quoting... no prizes, just a fun challenge.
Hopefully you'll see they provide wonderful food for thought and are as relevant today as they were back when they were first written.
#1 is called WHAT'S WRONG WITH MAGIC a delightfully brutal dissection of the magic world, BUT... followed with constructive ideas on how to make it all better.
More than that it contains some really BRILLIANT ADVICE on being a magician and creating a routine.
You may agree, or you may hate every word, but either way it makes for inspiring writing.
