A life of Magic
from The EMMA LOVELL Show · host Emma Lovell
Do you want to live a life of magic? I know I do. I'm writing a book - It's called, A Life of Magic. I always thought my second book would be about retreats. But life had other plans. In this deeply personal episode, I share the story behind A Life of Magic, the memoir I’m writing with (and for) my 102-year-old cousin, Bill Hunter. Bill’s life is truly extraordinary: a WWII Navy veteran, a professional magician for over 80 years, and a man who’s touched countless lives around the world. From performing at the Indy 500 for 50 years (every single year for 50 years straight) to collecting stories from those he inspired, his journey is filled with wonder, wisdom, and heart. This isn’t just a book, it’s a legacy project, 16 years in the making. I talk about how it started, why it matters so deeply to me and our family, and how you can be part of bringing this beautiful story to life. We’re crowdfunding A Life of Magic through Kickstarter, and your support can help make Bill’s lifelong (all 102 years!!) dream a reality. Listen in to hear how you can join us, and why this project is about so much more than words on a page.
