    About this Episode

    Everyone likes magic.  Well, almost everyone.  I do.  Increase Mather didn't.  We'll take a look at a brief history of magic up through Harry Houdini.  When we're done with that, I'll teach you a very simple card trick you can perform to amaze your family and friends.  Just don't mess it up.  If you do, you never heard this podcast.
