This week, magical artist Joe Ledoux joins AP for a whimsical exploration of stage magic, fine art, and skateboarding- and how Joe combines these interests in his work. They talk about Joe's journey in learning how to skate and how to perform magic, the importance of creativity and persistence, and the actual magical effects of art and performance. They also discuss Muhachi, a companion figure Joe uses to express himself in his zines, animations, and paintings, and Joe's inspiration and mentorship under Ralph Bakshi. If that's not enough, they also discuss sleight of hand in relation to shamanistic magic, Joe's personal synchronicities in his journey as a magical artist, and that time he cast a spell over Boston to summon UFOs, sea serpents, and fairies!

Joe is an accomplished magician from The McBride Magic and Mystery School out of Las Vegas, and performed with Le Grand David, the world's longest-running magic show. In this conversation he and AP dissect why stage magic need not necessarily be distinguished from "real" magic, or from fine art for that matter.
