About this listen

An extraordinary memoir about finding wonder in everyday life, from magician Nate Staniforth.

Nate Staniforth has spent most of his life and all of his professional career trying to understand wonder - what it is, where to find it and how to share it with others. He became a magician because he learned at a young age that magic tricks don't have to be frivolous. Magic doesn't have to be about sequins and smoke machines - rather, it can create a moment of genuine astonishment. But after years on the road as a professional magician, crisscrossing the country and performing four or five nights a week every week, Nate was disillusioned, burned out and ready to quit. Instead, he went to India in search of magic.

Here Is Real Magic follows Nate Staniforth's evolution from an obsessed young magician to a broken wanderer and back again. It tells the story of his rediscovery of astonishment - and the importance of wonder in everyday life - during his trip to the slums of India, where he infiltrated a 3,000-year-old clan of street magicians. Here Is Real Magic is a call to all of us - to welcome awe back into our lives, to marvel in the everyday and to seek magic all around us.

Profoundly magical listening

The writing of this book is perfect for an audiobook. It felt like listening to a close friend sharing over coffee, some things you both have been wrestling with and he’s had some insight to share. I listened to this over the period of two days, as I was doing some mindless work, and it made the experience much more interesting.
If you listen to self-help or anything on the topic of creativity, you will love this audiobook.
