429: Gone in 60 Seconds

Many of us have had something stolen and some of us have had magic stuff stolen. I'm not talking about intellectual property theft or someone lifting your joke or outright stealing your act, but physical thievery of props and equipment. This week we hear cautionary tales of woe from some magicians who have had their magic props stolen and we learn lessons from their losses.

This week's podcast was inspired by a friend of mine, Marien Hopman from Chatham, Canada, sent me a link to a short radio broadcast where he told his story about having his magic stolen from his car. We were unable to get together to record his story, but you can hear his short, five minute story from "Afternoon Drive with Chris dela Torre" on CBC Listen by Clicking Here.
