163: The podcast of illusion

The Podcast of Illusion is all about the great traditions of circus entertainment. Why do most of us love illusion? I think it is because most of us don't believe it is possible and enjoy being surprised, again and again, as master illusionists play to our weaknesses and trick us time after time. I know I was expecting to crack the code of illusion at the Circus Of Illusion, but I didn't. The man behind the illusion is Michael Boyd, illusionist, and he joins us now ... well, he was here a second ago ... We also meet, Daniel Gorski (juggler), Duban Nickol (visual, comic clown), Elissa Cadwell (Aerialist), and Stephan Le Forestier (mime artist). We discuss The brashness of the name, Circus of ILLUSION Take home magic The history of illusion Two ways of watching magic Patience, persistance and precision - secret to juggling and life Steve's definition of mime: The art where the curtain is pulled back from the heart Also appearing in the podcast of illusion episode Michael Boyd and the Circus Of Illusion crew We hear about Gorge Road and the passing of Dave Flanagan In the musical pilgrimage, there are Secrets Up Our Sleeves The SA Drink Of The Week is a Teusner.
