Episode 278 of The Magic Guys features Josh and Nick with guest Adam Axford. They share wild gig stories, a SpeakPipe from Seth, viral content wins, and behind-the-scenes moments.

The conversation centers on ethics in magic - four guiding questions (who benefits, who could be harmed, did the audience consent, what belief do they leave with) - and explores performance tactics, pre-show practices, privacy concerns, mentalism boundaries, and business pricing dilemmas.
