But by the following morning the gallery is in disarray, and thirteen priceless works of world famous art have seemingly vanished into thin air. Though with no signs of a break in just how was this possible? And, furthermore, despite the value of the works taken, why were so many more valuable pieces of art left behind?

What is The Magician's Wife?

The Magician's Wife is a unique, interactive podcast in which a professional mystery writer, and a professional TV and stage magician, examine true crime and unexplained happenings from around the world. In each episode, Lora and Barry dive into a fascinating story and, just like a "how to" conjuring book, dissect it into two essential components...

The Effect

The astonishing spectacle that leaves the public - and often law enforcement - in awe. These effects may appear to be truly impossible, and the work of magic, but behind each one lies an ingenious solution.

The Method

The secret techniques and misdirection that remain concealed from the untrained eye. Will Lora and Barry be able to bring these hidden workings to the fore, and reveal the smoke and mirrors behind the real-life mysteries they examine?
