"As a kid magician in Chicago, I devoured every issue of Genii magazine, but especially stories about the Magic Castle. I felt like I got to know the characters of the Golden Age at the Castle. This took me right back. Nick’s guests shared great stories and insights about the characters inhabiting the Castle. A highly recommended blast of nostalgia."
