417: Gregory Wilson - Second Chance

417 banner 4.jpg

In this podcast, Greg is laid back and steers away from controversy as we talk about his recent heart attack, his current lecture tour, conventions, and some of his creative ideas.

Time stamps for this podcast:

00:04:12 - Gregory Wilson and Scott have a nice chat about Greg's current state of his health, his lecture tour, performing/lecturing at conventions, his upcoming schedule abroad, and more. Of course we have to see if there is any update on the controversy from two years ago when he was accused of "taking" the ideas of others.

01:03:40 - Product Review: "The Zodiac" by Eduardo Kozuch, German Dubat and Michel from Michel & Greco Magic Prods. A small booklet that can be easily carried and perform a variety of astrological predictions (zodiac signs, birth dates, playing cards, etc.). A useful tool but requires too much memory work to make it practical unless you frequently use it.

01:12:32 - "Gerti Reborn" by Romanos from Magic Tao. A prop that allows you to correctly devine the location of a coin in a volunteer's hand. Recommended.

What a great, action-packed, adrenaline-laced, fast-paced movie. I recommend watching part one (Dead Reckoning) to catch up from where we left off two years ago. Best to see this on the big screen. Recommended!
