EP. #69 -- THE MAGIC SHOW with Rachel Wax

Professional magician and comedian RACHEL WAX – who’s appeared on “Penn & Teller: Fool Us” and is a regular at Speakeasy Magick in NYC – joins Dan for a spellbinding discussion about her career change from fashion designer to stage performer, why she won’t do kids’ birthday parties, and – more seriously – what it’s like to be a woman working in such a traditionally male-dominated field. With remarkable candor, she speaks about having to deal with misogynistic remarks and behavior not only from certain members of the audience – but even from some of her fellow magicians.

Rachel and Dan also talk about their all-time favorite magicians, many of whom inspired her as a performer – including her own father, Dr. David Wax, who now occasionally works as his daughter’s opening act.

Ladies and gentlemen….you just might not believe your very own ears……
