Glad you enjoyed it. I thought Maryka was quite knowledgeable. In fairness she doesn’t live this stuff the way magicians do. But she was well versed in the events that took place

Boy Dean! You really had to walk a thin line with this one. Honestly, she really should have consulted you or someone as knowledge as you. Having listened to all of your podcasts, and read most of you blogs, I know you knew more about this subject than the author. Another great job! Thank you!
