As we wind down nearer to the last of this series, we have a real "doozie" this week. We chat with a variety of individuals from a server/actor to a couple authors/magicians and from the serious to the hilarious. This one has it all.

Patrick Benneyworth is server in the Magic Castle by night but an actor by day. Hear how he gets along and make both ends meet. Next up is Rob Zabrecky (recent winner of the Parlour Magician of the Year - congratulations, Rob) who talks about the inspiration for his character and his act. Andrew Mayne next talks about his new mystery novel, "Name of the Devil" which will soon be released plus another new product that every close-up guy will want. Then we visit the lunch table with Paul Vigil, Chris Philpott, Alan Bursky and Steve Valentine (Steve was another recent winner of an AMA award, Lecturer of the Year - congratulations, Steve). These guys were a hoot! I know you'll listen to this part over and over again. Finally we find a quiet corner of the Castle library to chat with Michael Perovich, author of "The Vernon Companion" containing tons of stories by, about and from the Professor.
