064: Midwest Magic Jubilee Day 1 - Now You See It with Scott Wells
On the opening night of this year's Midwest Magic Jubilee (MMJ), I audio recorded "Now You See It with Scott Wells", a late night talk show that features some of the talent from the magic conventions. This was my fourth year with this talk show at the MMJ, always with a completely different line-up. This year it featured Shep Hyken, Dan Garrett, Chris Capehart and Michael Finney.

063: A Chat with the Director of the American Museum of Magic in Marshall, Michigan
Following Abbott's 75th Get-Together, it would have been a shame not to have driven a few miles north of Colon to visit the American Museum of Magic in Marshall, Michigan. I first visited this museum following my first Get-Together in 1984. I was fortunate to have been given a private tour by owner and curator, Bob Lund. The Museum is now run by a board of directors but the building and it's contents look pretty much unchanged with what appeared to me as the same posters that adorned the wall way back then.
I chatted briefly with Hannah Lewis who is an intern at the museum who gives regular tours and is quite knowledgeable about the building, its contents and its history. She then introduced me to Jeff Taylor who is the Director. He gave me a little more insight and a private tour of the library which is usually only accessible by appointment.
