The Design Of a Career of Magic and Wonder: Meet Nate Staniforth

For over a decade, Nate has toured the US college circuit as one of the busiest working magicians in the country. He’s given a TEDx Talk, lectured at the world-famous Oxford Union, and in 2018 the Harry Potter-famed Bloomsbury Publishing will release Nate’s memoir in bookstores worldwide.

Here is Real Magic follows Nate's evolution from obsessed wunderkind to disillusioned wanderer and tells the story of his rediscovery of astonishment – and the importance of wonder in everyday life – during a trip to the India, where he infiltrated a 3,000-year-old clan of street magicians.

Justin and guest host, Bob Davidson, travelled to Nate's hometown in Iowa City, Iowa to learn more about this student of wonder and the lengths he goes for a moment of amazement.
