Podcasts about magical arts

It's the early 2000s, and I'm between sessions at the TEDx conference. As I go to grab a coffee, I notice this crowd forming nearby. Naturally curious, I wander over there to see what the fuss is about. In the middle of this crowd is a guy with a deck of cards doing a magic trick. But it's not just the trick itself that's amazing; it's the effect it's having on everyone around him. None of us can take our eyes off of him. It's like we're collectively holding our breath being caught in the moment as he performs trick after trick after trick. Like everyone else around me, I'm completely captivated, marveling at what's happening. “How does he do this?” I think to myself. I don't know how one person with just a deck of cards can make an entire group of strangers feel so connected, so in awe together. I realize at this point that it's not all about the magic. It's like this magician has created a shared experience of wonder for all of us and telling a story without even saying a single word. He wraps up the show, the crowd disperses, and I go stand in line to get my coffee still buzzing from the experience. I turn to my husband Mark and ask, “Who is that guy?” Mark smiles and says, “That's David Blaine.” Wow, I was completely unaware that I'd been watching one of the most famous magicians in the world! Yet what sticks with me, even all these years later, isn't just who he is; it's that unforgettable feeling of awe he created for everyone in that moment. So many magicians have that same capacity to captivate their audience. Rick Gerber is a professional magician who has been spending his entire life performing in multiple countries and every state in the U.S. In this episode of the Storytelling School Podcast, you'll hear about how thinking like a magician can help you discover creative solutions that'll create astonishing stories that linger in people's minds. You'll also get answers to questions such as: In what ways can you creatively engage with your audience to enhance the storytelling experience? How can you get into the flow state as you perform your Talk or story? And how can embracing the unexpected lead to surprising discoveries that create unforgettable stories for your audience? What you will learn in this episode: How closely observing your audience for clues benefits your storytelling How you can captivate your audience with a shared experience at the very beginning Why you need to know your audience to set the right tone from the start Who is Rick? For over 40 years, Rick Gerber has been traveling the world creating laughter and gasps of astonishment at high-profile special events, trade shows, and as the headliner aboard some of the world's most prestigious cruise ships. He has performed his incredible magic in all fifty states and over forty-five countries. Presidents, kings, and megastars in movies, TV, and music have witnessed firsthand his ability to distort reality before their watchful eyes. Rick became the youngest performer at the world-famous Magic Castle in Hollywood at 10 years old. At age 21, he was put under contract with Budweiser and performed for them full-time at trade shows and special VIP events around the globe for decades. Most recently, he was elected by his magician peers to the Board of Directors of the prestigious Academy of Magical Arts--home at the World-Famous Magic Castle in Hollywood, CA. Today, Rick's Fortune 500 clients read like a Who's Who of the corporate world--Monster Energy, T-Mobile, GE, Acura, DIRECTV, Coca-Cola, Dell Technologies, Nestlé, and hundreds of smaller businesses as well. Whether it's attracting crowds and gathering leads at trade shows, performing at special events, mingling in VIP hospitality suites, producing magic-themed events, or performing his stage show at corporate sales meetings for hundreds or thousands of attendees, companies can always count on him to deliver.

Judika Illes, author of "Witches: A Compendium" and "Encyclopedia of 5,000 Spells," engages in a detailed conversation about the practical aspects of magick and witchcraft. She contrasts her approach to spellbooks with those that lack actionable content, emphasizing the importance of personal experience in crafting effective spells. As a long-time participant in the magical community, Illes discusses the evolution of witchcraft and the challenges faced by new practitioners amid misinformation online. The dialogue highlights the significance of community, shared experiences, and cultural respect in magical practices. Illes elaborates on the role of intention in spellcasting and how aligning personal motivations with actions is essential for success. She views magic as an innate human experience that fosters empowerment and understanding. The conversation concludes with insights on her editorial work at Weiser Books and encourages listeners to consider the values of respect, community, and intention in their magical journeys.

Quench your thirst for the esoteric with William Kiesel (@ouroboros_press, www.bookarts.org), publishing director of Ouroboros Press, anantiquarian Bookseller and faculty at 22 Teachings School of HermeticScience & Magical Arts where he teaches Alchemy and Ceremonial Magic.With decades of experience in Hermetic Qabalah, Magic and esotericsymbol-systems, William assists seekers on the path to self-knowledge inunderstanding the mysteries of the Ageless Wisdom. In this episode, William suggests the popularization of magic, tarot, the occult and even hexing has been encouraged through the media and movies such as Harry Potter and the DaVinci Code. However, understanding and education about magic hasn't necessarily been encouraged, hence ignorance possibly remains. And at a time when unification and compassion is important, this kind of superstition and misunderstanding creates divide.  William shares magic's wonders, artistic beauty, purposes and discipline as it has been used and enhanced throughout the ages. He touches lightly on issues of censorship. As a teacher at 22 Teachings, William encourages his students to delve deeper and provides both in-person and recorded classes for their further education.

Today I'm thrilled to welcome my good friend Larry Fong, ASC to the pod to talk about his incredible body of work but almost more importantly, our shared love of the art of Magic.

More than a magician, Mike Miller, Past National President of the S.A.M., also books talent for many magic conventions including the S.A.M. convention, Abbott's Get Together, Super Sunday, and many others. He scours the world looking for unique acts to book. He has a good eye for spotting up-and-coming performers before they “hit it big” on the international scene. The best way to be seen by Mike is by competing and performing in other magic conventions. For several years, Mike also booked acts for a multi-city tour of China. Today he regularly performs at the Smoke & Mirrors Theater in Philadelphia while still searching for convention acts. As a result of his untiring efforts in helping magicians around the world, the Academy of Magical Arts will present a Special Fellowship to him at the awards banquet on May 17, 2024. If you are more of a visual person, then perhaps you might enjoy watching our interaction during our Zoom conversation. In this episode, Mike Miller talks about his career as a talent booker and how Hank Moorehouse shaped his life. He talks about how he goes about finding unique acts and how he learned to be a stage manager, too.

Mystery alert! We've got the curious case of the missing princess. Kate Middleton has been MIA from the public eye since December, and the speculation is running rampant. Kensington Palace claims she had a planned abdominal surgery in January and will be out of sight until March, but the grainy photos, altered images, and vague medical updates have conspiracy theorists in a tizzy. Is she hiding away due to a botched Brazilian butt lift? Did she get terrible bangs and is waiting for them to grow out? Or is she just taking a break after a grueling MLB offseason? The theories are as wild as they are entertaining. Next, we've got the shocking suspension of Murray the Magician from the famed Magic Castle. His crime? Exposing magic tricks online! Murray's viral video, featuring his sexy sidekick wife Dani revealing the secrets behind his tricks, racked up over 50 million views on Facebook. The Academy of Magical Arts was not amused and promptly suspended Murray pending an investigation. Murray argues that the magic community needs to update their outdated rules for the internet age, as anyone can learn these tricks on Amazon. Is the AMA just jealous of Murray's fame, or are they rightfully guarding the sacred secrets of magic? You be the judge! Finally, we dive into the ongoing battle over TikTok's future in the U.S. The House of Representatives recently passed a bill that would force TikTok's Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to sell the app or face a nationwide ban. The clock is ticking, with a September deadline looming if the bill becomes law. TikTok is fighting back with a furious lobbying blitz, urging its millions of users to bombard Congress with calls and even sending their CEO to campaign on the Hill. Will the Senate succumb to the pressure, or will they take a more cautious approach to avoid angering young voters ahead of the elections? The debate over TikTok's potential national security risks is heating up, with officials fearing that the Chinese government could use the app to spy on Americans, push propaganda, or interfere in elections. ByteDance claims they've never received requests for U.S. user data from China and have taken steps to protect Americans' privacy, but many in Washington remain unconvinced. If the ban does go through, TikTok users may have to resort to VPNs to get their daily dose of viral dance challenges and lip-sync battles. As the TikTok drama unfolds, legal experts are already predicting a massive First Amendment battle if the app is ultimately shut down. Previous attempts to ban TikTok have been blocked by federal judges, citing a lack of concrete evidence of the app's alleged national security threats. Will the government be able to make a convincing case this time around, or will TikTok emerge victorious in the courts? Only time will tell. So there you have it, folks! From Kate Middleton's disappearance to rebellious magicians and the looming threat of a TikTok-less existence, this episode of the What are We Doing podcast has it all. Tune in for more hilarious takes on the biggest stories of the day, and don't forget to like, subscribe, and share with your friends.

Podcast: This week on the show, we present a pre-recorded conversation with Rawn Clark, author of A Bardon Companion: A Practical Companion for the Student of Franz Bardon's System of Hermetic Initiation. The Franz Bardon series of books on Magical Arts, Initiation into Hermetics (IIH), The Practice of Magical Evocation (PME), and The Key to the True Qabalah (KTQ), are considered by many as the most lucid and actionable written material on Hermetic practice. Initiation into Hermetics consists of a short introduction on theory and ten detailed lessons on practice covering work on the Mental, Astral, and Physical bodies. These lessons progress from very basic mental concentration and thought control practices through to advanced exploration of elemental and planetary realms and the merging with Unity. In A Bardon Companion, Rawn Clark combines two versions of his commentaries for each of the ten steps in IIH, additional commentaries on PME and KTQ, as well as years of correspondence with students of the Bardon system. It is an essential guide for anyone interested in exploring the Bardon system of Hermetics. Rawn Clark is a writer and video producer who dedicates his work to magical practice in general and providing support material for practitioners of the Bardon system. He began pursuing Bardon's system of Hermetic Initiation in the early 1980s at the age of 25. Years later he became involved in online blogging and discussion groups surrounding the Bardon work. He has emerged as one of the leading mentors for this system. His writings are clear, practical, and leavened with a gentle touch and humor. His work dispels many of the misconceptions associated with esoteric practice and makes the Bardon system available to anyone willing to put in the necessary consistent effort. More information about Rawn Clark's work can be found at: Rawn Clark's YouTube Channel: www.youtube.com, A Bardon Companion on Amazon: www.amazon.com, Franz Bardon on Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org.

This is a fascinating and inspiring conversation and I hope you enjoy it. Today's episode of The Luminous is another installment in The Awakeners Series. From Rebellion to Ritual. Letting go, showing up and the power of loss with Naha.

Armani sighed, the last thing she needed at the moment was to go meet Jake. She had enough on her plate to also deal with his stuck-up self. She wondered if she would be able to go all by herself. Though Venus had warned that they should go with their partners, Armani felt the magic garden being within the school premises couldn't be all that dangerous and decided she would be going alone.The Letter:Dearest Armani It hurts me to break the news that Grandma Isabelle is very sick. She believes that she doesn't have much time with us anymore. It is her desire that she lays eyes on you once more before her passing. We have notified the Academy of Magical Arts, and they are willing to give you a few days off to come visit her. I know this is all too much for you right now, but it would be best for you to come say your goodbyes.

Armani had gotten accustomed to the ways of the Academy of Magical Arts, the building of the institution being alive did not wow her as it had initially done. Now she knew how it operated, one had to say their destination aloud and the building made sure they got there in time. “For the next spell you will be learning, I will need you to get a key ingredient. This ingredient can only be found deep down in the magical gardens. It is advisable you go with the person you have been partnered with.” Venus said after the end of a class.Romance Sleep StoriesFollow, Subscribe and Like:Youtube:@romancesleepstories| https://bit.ly/3KLP2d0Facebook:romancesleepstories| https://bit.ly/3H73sCiRelax To A Soothing Story With Romance Stories For Sleep PodcastRomance Sleep Stories (spreaker.com)

Naha Armady is the Head of Faculty at 22 Teachings School of Hermetic Science and Magical Arts. Naha found her current path despite not growing up in a spiritual household. She felt like she was sailing through life without a course until she was introduced to the Western Mystery tradition. This combines a set of different teachings and schools of thought throughout history and spanning across countries and religions. Naha has extensively traveled in pursuit of understanding more. She has been to places that connect with ancient teachings, such as Egypt, Israel, India, and Europe. There she feels a strong connection to the roots of mysticism and also runs group trips. She has also studied under Shaman, Lakota Blackfoot elders, and yogis. Her move to teaching came after she realized she wanted to help people. She wanted to offer quantifiable benefits but wasn't sure how to go about it. While in this state of mind a position as a reader opened up in the House of Intuition in L.A., and her current career path was born. After getting her foot in the door at House of Intuition, she later branched out and started her teaching institution, the 22 Teachings School.Naha is also the founder of Arboretum Mysticum Lodge and has written Everyday Crystal Rituals. What you'll learn: -What is Western Mystery tradition? -What is the core tenant of Western Mystery Tradition?-Why there's a need to question and not take everything at face value.-Naha's experience getting started at the House of Intuition in Los Angeles.-How 22 Teachings School of Hermetic Science and Magical Arts got started.-Naha's advice for getting started being a reader. -Teaching via Zoom vs. in person. Connect with Naha through Instagram and find more information about 22 Teachings on their Website

Sometimes I get fanciful and think the buildings speak. That all their history is locked into the walls and if you listened closely enough, you could hear all the people who'd once been there. Sigi lived upstairs from Sara at Friedrichstrasse 19, yet before they met, Sara had no idea that Berlin could be so thrillingly irreverent or that sex could be so intoxicatingly wonderful. But then came the war and hunger, loneliness and barbed wire. It was just as a young girl, a protegee of the Academy of Magical Arts situated in Friedrichstrasse at the start of the century, had predicted. Battered and divided, Berlin, like its people, endured. Hans yearns to be part of the boundary-breaking spirit of the age, but he's haunted by his mother's part in the war and the absence of a father. Ilse, who escaped from the East, wants nothing more than the freedom she risked her life for. In 1989 in a wild act of spontaneous joy, Heike leapt from the Wall into the arms of a stranger from the West. Thirty years later, she recognises that what she'd willed to be destiny was nothing more than naivety. Recently divorced, she moves into Friedrichstrasse, to begin a new life. But it's impossible not to hear the echoes of the secrets and lies, visions and misunderstandings, lost loves and fatal mistakes, that have come before her. Time-travelling between decades, through the interlocking lives of six people, Friedrichstrasse 19 relives the tumultuous experience of a city on the front line of history.

As early as the 1980's, his dynamic, martial arts and Kabuki-inspired performances made him the only magician of his time able to open for such super-star concert artists as Diana Ross, Cheap Trick, and Tom Jones. He has been featured on every major television network, headlined shows at Caesars Palace and other top casinos worldwide. In 1993, The Academy of Magical Arts named him “Magician of the Year,” and both The Magic Circle and the Fédération Internationale des Sociétés Magiques (FISM) have awarded him with their top honors. He is the founder of the McBride Magic & Mystery School in Las Vegas, named by the BBC as “the world's most prestigious magic school.” JEFF'S INFO: EXPERIENCE JEFF'S VIRTUAL SHOW: https://magicquest.net MAIN SITE: https://mcbridemagic.com PRODUCT SITE: https://magicalwisdom.com MONDAY NIGHT MYSTERY SCHOOL: https://shop.magicalwisdom.com/i/mcbridemagic-tv THE SHOW DOCTOR BOOK: https://shop.magicalwisdom.com/p/philosophy/the-show-doctor ZOOM BOUNCE & FLY DVD: https://shop.magicalwisdom.com/p/stage-magic-manipulation/zoom-bounce-fly INTERVIEW WITH LUPÉ NIELSEN: https://youtu.be/_YcHzH9M9s4 SHAUN JAY INFO: Learn more about Shaun Jay and his magic: https://shaunjaymagic.com Learn more about Shaun Jay's custom 3D design work: https://utilitygaffs.com Follow Shaun on Facebook: https://facebook.com/shaunjaymagic Follow Shaun on Instagram: https://instagram.com/shaunjaymagic Follow Shaun Jay on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@shaunjaymagic?

How do we understand ourselves through the four essential elements? No, not Carbon, Oxygen, Hydrogen, & Nitrogen. We're talking Water, Earth, Fire, Air. And yes, we love Avatar The Last Airbender as much as anyone, but in this episode we're talking about ASTROLOGY! Is it just us, or is EVERYONE always talking about Astrology? Why? What about this ancient system is resonating so much with us today? And how can we use it to better see ourselves and our relationships? This week we finally dive deep into the world of Astrology with A.M. Penn. She gives us a fabulous intro to how Astrology works, and a personal chart reading to show us our cosmic karmic contracts coming into this life! Naïma's only gone Magazine-Horoscope deep before, so she gets her first peek into the nitty gritty details of her natal chart, and Lyla finally tries to get to the bottom of her Cap Trap!
