External Education, Is It Worth It?
We sit down with our wholesale magician Alex Marse to chat about his experience at the Disney Institute. We go pretty hard with external education - but is it even worth it?

Evan is one of the most kind and passionate baristas we know, so we can't help but give him a plug.
