The Shell Game | Criminal Podcast

Описание: The Magic Castle in Hollywood has been a private club for magicians since 1963, and its walls are lined with portraits of magicians past and present. Among them is a portrait of one of the earliest American organized crime bosses and conmen, Jefferson Randolph “Soapy” Smith. And though it may seem strange that this “mecca of magic” honors a criminal, Soapy’s legacy reveals just how blurry the line is between a delightful trick and a dirty one.

“Ritual Nine” by Jason Leonard
“Photo Album” by David Szesztay
“Ritual Eight” by Jason Leonard
“All The Pretty Horses” by Podington Bear
