Episode 23- The Future of Magic

This weeks episode is about the future of magic!!!!
Jack welcomes his special guest and probably the first celebrity he's spoken to, Aidan McCann who is a young magician and actor. You may recognise him from Britain or Ireland’s Got Talent as well as appearing on The Ellen Show in America and lots lots more. Very exciting!!
There is clip of Aidan in the finals of BGT on Jack To The Future's social media pages. Hope you enjoy watching!
Jack and Aidan talk about how Aidan got into magic in the first place; his experiences on reality TV shows and how his perseverance paid off; if it’s difficult to make up tricks and whether technology will make tricks better or may actually spoil magic in the future.
This spurs on a line of discussion about magicians using new techniques to perform tricks and what makes a good one. Aidan even performs a trick live on the podcast for you to hear and Jack returns the favour by performing a maths trick on him!
A jam packed episode of fun!
