And the winners of the Go Magic Go International Psychic of the Millenium contest are... announced in this episode! Winners, we will need your names and mailing addresses. Thanks again to Banachek and Scott Wells of Magic Inspirations for our prizes.

We also discuss:

Penn and Teller's latest special just aired, and we want to know what you thought of it.

We review Pyro Perception by Brent Walske, and Andrew divulges his handling for the effect.

More about getting "the shakes" while performing.

Jay Sankey vs. Penguin Magic - We're not sure what to think yet. HERE is a link to a thread that reprints Jay's e-mail, and HERE is a link to Penguin Magic's official response. If you'd like to weigh in, contact us or use the comments link on our site.

Want to actually do something with all those old magic periodicals you have stored away? We'd like to see some of the weird, funny, or otherwise interesting ads from your old magazines. If you have access to a scanner (or can take a digital picture of them), send them to us at gmgpodcast@gmail.com and we'll put them up on the website. Let's see ads for the Super Force Glasses of yesteryear!
