769: Andi Gladwin - It's a Business
Andi Gladwin is well-known throughout the magic community as the co-partner with Joshua Jay in Vanishing, Inc. But he is so much more than just a pretty businessman. He and Josh coordinate both the Session convention in England and the MagiFest in Columbus, Ohio, each year. Moreover, he is a force to be reckoned with as an awesome creator and performer having fooled Penn & Teller on their TV show, plus a best selling author.
Podcasts and video interviews with Andi Gladwin can be found around the internet, but the conversation we have is completely unique from all the others.
