  • Summary

  • Join professional TV/stage magician Barry Jones and his wife Lora, a professional writer, to explore some of the world’s craziest mysteries, from true crime to the paranormal. Each fortnightly episode delves into a real-life case and, just like a ”how to” conjuring book, dissects it into two essential components: The Effect— the astonishing spectacle that leaves the public in awe; and The Method— the secret techniques and misdirection that remain concealed from the untrained eye. And not only that, but you, the listener, will be invited to participate in a series of brain-bending audio hallucinations along the way! So prepare to be amazed, as Barry and Lora pull back the curtain to expose the smoke and mirrors behind crimes, hoaxes, the supernatural and much more, unveiling their inner workings.

    06. Psychic Sylvia
    Nov 18 2024

    In March 2020 an extraordinary passage of text is shared on one of the world’s biggest social media platforms. The text comes from a book written twelve years earlier, and appears to describe the burgeoning global pandemic in clear and accurate detail. The woman who wrote this book was known for making an astonishing series of sensational psychic claims about everything from hauntings to night stalkers to abducted children. But did she really possess the gift of clairvoyance, or was she simply gifted in self-promotion? Join Barry and Lora as they deconstruct the potential methods of magic and mentalism behind the TV psychic Sylvia Browne - and invite you to grab a deck of playing cards and join them for an incredible magic trick!

    04. Spring-Heeled Jack
    Oct 21 2024

    In the gas-lit, smog-choked streets of nineteenth-century London, reports start to circulate of a tall figure attacking women, swathed in black, claws glinting from every finger, fleeing the scenes of his crimes by clearing walls in a single leap, and emitting a blood-chilling cackle as he makes his escape. But is he supernatural, demonic, an urban legend? Or might there be a more earthly explanation for this classic Victorian terror? Join Barry and Lora as they explore the incredible story of Spring-Heeled Jack.
