MNW140 :: JON RACHERBAUMER REDUX

This is one of our most requested from the lost files of the MagicNewswire Spirit of Magic Podcast. My conversation with the amazing Jon Racherbaumer was recorded in August of 2009. Unfortunately, with the unexpected transition from Mevio this conversation was reduced from almost two hours to less than 20 minutes. Fortunately, I was able to recover the original files. That means that this is a totally remastered and ad free edition of this interview.

If you don't know the name of Jon Racherbaumer, you should either walk away from magic or take some time to explore his influence on our art form. Jon is one of those guys that managed to connect to some of the greatests names in the modern history of magic including Ed Marlo, Eddie Fields, Orson Welles, and Senator Crandall. Given the controversies surrounding Blackpool & FISM 2010, it is also interesting to note that he was at one time blackballed by both the IBM & the SAM. Please join us for Part One of our interview with Jon Racherbaumer and learn more about lesbian bowlers, the "Magic Mafia" and how a good magician becomes controversial.
