  • 07. How to Teleport a Diamond
    Dec 2 2024

    A young boy unearths a beautiful diamond. But, less than an hour later, the diamond has completely, suddenly and, quite inexplicably, vanished. The boy has no idea whether he will ever see it again. And yet, when he returns home that evening, a diamond is awaiting him. The exact same diamond, in fact, that he discovered hours earlier, the exact same diamond that had vanished. This diamond has reappeared, at the very place at which the boy lives, as though it had mysteriously teleported itself there. But surely such a thing couldn’t be possible… could it? In this episode of The Magician’s Wife, Barry and Lora discuss the story of the diamond disappearances on South Africa’s ‘Diamond Coast’.

  • 04. Spring-Heeled Jack
    Oct 21 2024

    In the gas-lit, smog-choked streets of nineteenth-century London, reports start to circulate of a tall figure attacking women, swathed in black, claws glinting from every finger, fleeing the scenes of his crimes by clearing walls in a single leap, and emitting a blood-chilling cackle as he makes his escape. But is he supernatural, demonic, an urban legend? Or might there be a more earthly explanation for this classic Victorian terror? Join Barry and Lora as they explore the incredible story of Spring-Heeled Jack.
