Description

Devin, Andy, and guest Claire Hamilton visit Art of Play: a puzzle- and game-forward toy shop with a secret theater for close-up magic. Will Andy learn how to pronounce Printemps before they get there? Can magic be new? What do magicians mean now, culturally? How far back did Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium set the cause of irl wonder emporia? Is it a puzzle? A fidget? A toy? An executive desk sculpture? What is the ideal length of time for a top to spin??
