Accessible Magic: Digitizing the Library of Secrets at the Magic Castle is a semifinalist for this year’s Holman Prize! Thanks to everyone that supported the video, stay tuned for the final results this summer.
Read MoreI am thrilled to be competing for a grant to digitize the Library of Secrets at the Magic Castle and finally make it accessible to people that are blind and print impaired. Access to magic texts has been a 20+ year struggle for me, and one of my greatest frustrations and expenses as a magician. Part of the application is a video pitch: please take a second to give it a LIKE on YouTube and help make this dream a reality. Thank you!
Chad is featured this week on T.R. Reid's amazing podcast Reid My Mind. The story of two blind magicians, one on the east coast, one on the west. Have a listen and be inspired, no vision required.
