Each episode dives into magic news, new releases, creative ideas, and the reality behind what actually works — and what doesn’t. From hype versus substance to trends, creators, and the craft itself, nothing’s off the table (except exposure). If you love magic, cards, and straight-talking opinions from people immersed in the industry every day, this one’s for you. Two magic shops. Honest opinions. Modern magic.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-26T22:17:49.739590+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-sleightly-twisted-podcast-7692849"},"episode":{"title":"Choose your magician!","slug":"choose-your-magician","published_at":"2026-04-01T11:40:09+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-sleightly-twisted-podcast-7692849/choose-your-magician","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-sleightly-twisted-podcast-7692849","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/allan-mcavoy9/episodes/Choose-your-magician-e3h99u2","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/10dc352b8/podcast/play/117794178/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-3-1%2F421194095-44100-2-a99636853f82f.mp3","summary":"Episode 5 of The Sleightly Twisted Podcast is here! 🎙️✨Quick heads-up before you dive in, apologies for My camera quality at the start of this episode. We switched to new recording software and, in classic fashion, there may have been a few too many buttons clicked 😅The good news? The quality kicks in properly around the 20-minute mark. We didn’t want to scrap the episode because there was too much good chat in this one.This episode turned into one of our favourites.We chat about: • the latest Easter magic releases • tricks worth keeping vs selling on • fooling magicians vs fooling real audiences • running a magic shop behind the scenes • discontinued tricks we’d love to see return • and one of the best conversations of the episode… which magician we’d choose for our wedding or dream eventFrom Derren Brown, David Blaine, Mack King, Andy Nyman, and more — we pick our dream performers and chat about what makes a magician unforgettable.As always, it’s a mix of magic chat, shop talk, stories, and a few accidental business ideas along the way 👀Let us know in the comments:Who would YOU book as your dream magician?","meta_description":"Episode 5 of The Sleightly Twisted Podcast is here! 🎙️✨Quick heads-up before you dive in, apologies for My camera quality at the start of this episode.
