27. The Leinster Gardens Illusion

A group of wealthy individuals arrive for a party at a London townhouse - but the solid building in front of them doesn't seem to exist.

In the 1930s, a young couple travel to an elegant London townhouse to attend an opulent ball. Yet when they arrive at the address they’ve been given and knock on its door, not only is there no answer, but they increasingly come to realise that there is something very strange about the building itself. Indeed, despite its solid walls, pillars and porticoes, it is almost as though the house doesn’t exist at all. In this episode, Barry and Lora examine the strange secrets of Leinster Gardens, London.

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?
