On this episode of the Magic Newswire's Magic Newscast we have a chat with Stan Allen on the day that the new Magic Magazine App appears on iTunes.  Now you have three  choices. You can subscribe and have the magazine mailed to you, you can buy the dead tree edition of Magic at your local magic shop,  or you can buy them online in a digital format designed for the iPad.  What about digital subsciptions you ask?  Well, Stan discusses that and much more as he makes his wat to California for a reunion of the Long Beach Mystics.

Welcome to the Year of the Rabbit! This just has to be a good sign for magicians right?  In this episode of the podcast we wrap up 2010 and chat a bit about 2011 with the usual cast of misfits that has been joining me for our talks this year including Chase Goforth, Cameon Ramsay, David Kaye & Scott Wells. In addition, we toss in a few minutes with Mac King, Johnny Thompson, Pamela Hayes and Jonathan Pendragon before heading off to chat with our friends Dan Sperry, Rudy Coby Justin Robert Young, Andrew Mayne and Joe Monti as a part of the iTricks 2010 office party!  Thanks for making us all a part of your magic life over the course of the last year and we look forward to bringing you more in 2011! Now get out there and start pulling some Hares!

As we wrap up the year in magic for 2010, This Week in Magic podcast co-host Scott Wells and I are joined by Genii Magazine publisher and editor Richard Kaufman to talk about his thoughts on the past year in magic, what is in store for 2011 and what digital publishing means for the  Conjurors' Magazine.

I have been very lucky to have Mike Caveney make an occasional appearance here on the Magic Newswire podcast. During those coversations, he has made mention of the Egyptian Hall Museum, but in this episode we get some of the real back story that we hadn't touched on before. In addition, Mike has just released a new book, "Classic Correspondence from Egyptian Hall."  Reading this book is like being taken on a guided tour through the historical files of Egyptian Hall Museum. 

As a native Atlantan, I have very fond meories of seeing Tom Mullical perform at his magic bar on Peachtree Street, The Tom Foolery.  By now, most of our listerners will know that Tom has been battling lukemia over the last year and has been out of touch while he undergoes treatment.  The good news is that the cancer is now in remission and Tom is preparing to  renew is Red Skelton tinute show in Branson next year.  In this interview, we talk about Tom's love of magic, why he left it behind and how he became the living incarnation of  Red Skelton.

By now, everyone has heard about the unusual circumstances surrounding this year's Magic Cruise produced by our friend David Sandy. Fortunately, David and Lance Rich had already agreed to record interviews for the Magic Newswire during the convention so that you will now get a unique peek at what really went on behind the scenes. We lead off with a short chat with David & Magic Magazine publisher Stan Allen.  Following that we chat with Kalin & Jinger, Chad Long, Bob Sheets, Martin Lewis, Shoot Ogawa, Christopher Hart, Michael Trixx, Matt Paxton and many others! This is a look at a convention that will never happen again!

The November issue of Magic Magazine should be in your hands by now and the cover features the first magician to make it to the top ten on the blockbuster television show America's Got Talent.  In this interview, I ma joined by Magic Magazine publisher Stan Allen and Michael  himself. "How did a relatively unknown performer manage to accomplish what some of the better known names in the business could not? Where the heck did this guy come from?" Join us in this episode of This Week in Magic for the answers to these question and a peek behind the curtain of AGT!
