Pete and Ryan head down under and peek up Australia’s sleeve to discover Magic Tricks in New South Wales during 1603-1868. We meet deadly wildlife, learn why a sack of bananas is a terrible choice of weapon, and find out how our favourite botanist had a hand in making the Australia we know today. We also reveal the life and times of a globally famous magician who could catch bullets, but couldn’t catch a break. Plus, we discover the European magic trick that made an entire population disappear. Ta daaaa!
