Producing Independent Shows with Rebecca Spectre

What do comedy and magic have in common? What does it take to produce an independent magic and/or comedy show? I talk to my friend, previous TIYA guest, and magician Rebecca Spectre about our recent/upcoming shows, and how we went about both making them and putting them on.

Content warning: DIY producing, comedy vs. magic, you're not Beyonce, "borrowed" tricks, unique venues, Mark James, Max Maven, David Berglas, Gob, the trick that cannot be explained.
