Each week we invite one of the biggest guests in the world of magic to maroon themselves on a desert island. They are allowed to take with them 8 tricks, 1 book and 1 non magic item that they use for magic! We discuss their 'can't live without' lists and why those items were chosen. 

Episodes are uploaded every Friday and are available via all Podcast service providers!
