Episode 273 of The Magic Guys features last-minute guests Adam Axford and Anthony Denali as the hosts explore the boundary between magic and mentalism. They begin with a listener question about the Rubik’s Cube routine and discuss performance choices, character, and how to land a powerful finale.
The conversation expands into a rapid-fire quiz on 30+ effects—cups and balls, book tests, invisible deck, PK touches, confabulation, Russian roulette, and more—debating whether each is magic, mentalism, or both, with personal stories, audience interaction, and plugs for upcoming shows and workshops.
