Episode 6: Joe Diamond
<p>In this episode, I talk with America’s Greatest Mind Reader, <strong>Joe Diamond</strong>. I’ve followed Joe for a while, and he’s one of the few magicians I know who’s also worked closely with psychics. He was one of the first people I thought of when I started this project — and hopefully he’ll return for another episode in the future.</p><p>I’ll warn you: we veered into magician talk a bit more than I expected, so you’ll get some insider baseball on the magic industry. Joe also shares stories from his time working with a local psychic and talks about what I’m going to call a genuinely strange paranormal experience involving the late <strong>Eugene Burger</strong>.</p><p>I decided in the moment to ask about Eugene because his work as a magician and teacher has inspired me since I first got into magic — and Joe knew him personally. I couldn’t resist. I’d strongly encourage you to check out Eugene’s performances on YouTube. He was a true master.</p><p>Here’s one of my all-time favorite routines of his, for your viewing pleasure:</p><p> <a href="https://youtu.be/fvGdrAcMs_Y?si=wCvc361JfO9MaAKS" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/fvGdrAcMs_Y?si=wCvc361JfO9MaAKS</a></p><p>Follow Joe on Instagram <strong>@joediamondlive</strong>, and if you’re in the Chicago/Wisconsin area, go see one of his shows.</p>

Some Thoughts on Reading Tarot
<p>Solo episode from the holidays! This week I try to unpack some of my thoguhts on being a more effective tarot reader. </p><p><br></p><p>Books mentioned in the episode:</p><p>Tarot Reading for Magicians by Paul Voodini — the book that got me started. Image-based, intuitive tarot taught from a magician’s perspective. Still one of the best ways to learn without memorizing meanings.</p><p>Guided Tarot by Stephanie Caponi — my go-to recommendation for beginners. Easy to find, Rider-Waite based, and includes spreads I actually use, including Release & Retain.</p><p>The Marseille Tarot Revealed by Yoav Ben-Dov — hugely influential for how I read now. Helped me move toward Marseille tarot, visual storytelling, and reading the cards as a whole instead of isolated meanings.</p><p>The Tarot by Robert M. Place — fantastic history of tarot. I don’t connect with his reading system at all, but the historical context is worth it.</p><p>Steal Like an Artist by Austin Kleon — not a tarot book, but central to my philosophy. Take what resonates, discard the rest, and build something that’s actually yours.</p><p>The Book of Symbols — a great reference for deepening symbolism beyond tarot. Helpful for understanding why certain objects show up in the cards and what they can represent.</p>
