The Magician's Forum LIVE TV show and Podcast Show #1 w/Mike Powers & Tony Clark. The Magician’s Forum LIVE is the brain child of Rudy Tinoco
(TheMagiciansForum.com) and Will Roberts (professional actor/magician) who have combined forces to bring the magic community a weekly show that will feature some of the best magicians from around the world. Our guests will talk about their latest projects, share their philosophy on magic, offer us performance tips, and yes…they’ll often teach us a trick or two! One of the most unique aspects of the Magician’s Forum LIVE is that our viewers are able to carry on the discussions that take place on the show by heading over to “The Show” section of TheMagiciansForum.com, where they can comment and share their observations. This was our first show and, as you'd expect, there were a couple of bloopers.
