Chatter #197 – Magicman London On Magic, Performance and Psychology

Magicman London was my guest on today’s show. David showed me some incredible tricks on camera – I cannot work out how he made this happen. He keeps finding my card!!! We spoke about counting cards in black jack, how he took handcuffs from a policewoman, and throwing cards through the window of a London pub.
