Trick's,  Better Late Than Not At All!

It's Magic Tricks ...

The "Disappearing N" Trick 

combined with the "6th Finger Distraction!"*

After seven years of podcasting it finally occurred to us that we'd never actually done any "tricks" on Trick's Podcast. Wait a minute, gutter mind, we're not talking "those" kind of tricks, we're a family show around here.  So, to remedy this oversight, the guys pulled out their magic wands, again don't go there, and conjured up this magical podcast.  There's tricks and magic on this week's Trick's Synthetic Podcast with:

Magic Man

Coco Robicheaux

The Magician

Jason Isbel

Magic Illusion

Sir Douglas Quintet

Magic Bus

The Who

Spanish Castle Magic B2B

with 

Robert Lighthouse 

and

but you can try this!
