Magic, Manipulation, and Mormons

(This episode was originally aired on December 23, 2023. Dr. Bell's presentation is phenomenal and we believe more people need to see it!)On this episode of Mormonish Podcast, Rebecca and Landon are joined by two incredible guests, Dr. Randy Bell and Radio Free Mormon, to discuss the difference between ethical magic and unethical magic and its use in manipulating people either for entertainment, or far more sinister purposes. Randy Bell is the owner of the world's largest collection of Houdini artifacts and uses these amazing items to take us on a journey through the history of magic tricks and magical stunts. As we learn more about how magic actually works, we come to understand that magicians follow a set pattern to trick their audiences. Radio Free Mormon demonstrates a phenomenal magic trick that left us speechless to illustrate this point. Ethical magic is used by magicians to deceive an audience that wants to be deceived. This is entertainment. Mormonism uses tricks too, often on an unsuspecting audience that believes the deception with lasting, lifetime consequences. Join us for this phenomenal presentation from Dr. Randy Bell and RFM as we delve into magic, manipulation, and Mormonism. (This episode was originally aired on December 23, 2023.
