Andi Gladwin. Stealing Magic

Andy Gladwin on Stealing Magic, the documentary about his years tracking down the people behind magic's biggest piracy sites, fresh from its premiere at Tribeca. This one was recorded a little while back, but everything in it is just as relevant now. We talk about the pirates who asked for $20,000 a month in Bitcoin to leave Vanishing Inc alone, being scared on camera with a film crew who aren't allowed to help you, why he never wanted to be the magic police, and what the documentary audiences keep saying about magicians. Plus the thing about pirate sites and your passwords that every magician needs to hear. This episode is sponsored by AbraCircle, custom-coded websites for magicians and performers.
