717: Erik Tait - The Voice Behind the Mic

As the host of the Penguin Podcast, Erik Tait is the “Voice of Penguin Magic.” Each week he shares the mic with other magicians as he talks about magic and the occasional ad thrown in here and there. More than a “voice” Erik is the “real deal” as he has his own creations and proven “chops” as he teaches and performs close-up magic. Over the past few years he has set his sites on competing in the World Championships of Magic (FISM). That meant several, and I mean several, practice sessions and performances that all led up to his appearance as a competitor in Quebec this past summer. It was worth it and paid off as Erik took home third place in Card Magic against a sea of competitors from around the world.
