Fielding West talks about his long friendship with Lance Burton (who served as best man at both of his weddings; why he has a lifelong fascination with magic; and how younger magicians are using new techniques for sleight of hand.

Michael Goudeau talks about his career in juggling, even though he wanted to be a forest ranger; how he started with a unicycle; his recent addition of bean bag chairs and 100,000 volt Tasers; and his ultimate dream of building a sailboat.

Keith West talks about starting in magic in Cedar Rapids, Iowa; working with the legends of magic; why he loves performing levitation illusions; and why he considers himself the luckiest man on earth.

Kitty Marie, who works with Keith West, talks abpit starting her role as a  “Box Jumper”; her background in gymnastics; her decision to write a book, “A Box Jumper’s Guide to Surviving Magic” and plans for the future.
