Welcome back to another edition of Deeper Lore, a bonus episode that's designed to serve as a topical guide to the most recent episode of the show. It can be a lot of work sorting through our show's archive of over eleven years' worth of episodes, so I'm here to point out some old ones that fit nicely with this week's brand new one. Let's get started, shall we? This week for episode 3, 17, Smoke and Mirrors, we entered the truly bizarre and fascinating world of professional magicians, where not everything is as it seems. But it's also not the first time we've discussed professionals on the edge of the supernatural, so here are three older episodes that will pair up nicely with this week's new one. Next up, episode 84 of Family Affair. What do you get when the family business is a popular seance show? Well, you buy a ticket, of course, so settle in and enjoy this episode. Next, download episode 111 Inside Job. Not all spiritualist performers were in it for the money, and this one couldn't even stay awake on the job. Of course, that was the point when we're talking about sleeping Lucy. I think that you're really going to love this story. And finally, there's episode 215 Mind Over Matter. In a world of famous mediums, few were as well known or respected as Henry Slade. But of course, that's only half the story, and the other half is truly strange. Do check it out. And there you go, folks. You can follow up this week's brand new episode with a trip into the past. Episodes 84, 111, and 215 are waiting for you in this podcast feed. Scroll down in your app to find them, or you can tap on their direct links in the description for this episode. And until next time, stay spooky.
