  Hey folks, Aaron here. Welcome back to another edition of Deeper Lore, a bonus episode that's designed to serve as a topical guide to the most recent episode of the show. It can be a lot of work sorting through our show's archive of over 11 years' worth of episodes, so I'm here to point out some old ones that fit nicely with this week's brand-new one. Let's get started, shall we? This week for episode 317, Smoke and Mirrors, we entered the truly bizarre and fascinating world of professional magicians, where not everything is as it seems. But it's also not the first time we've discussed professionals on the edge of the supernatural. So here are three older episodes that will pair up nicely with this week's new one. First up, episode 84, A Family Affair.

  What do you get when the family business is a popular seance show? Well, you buy a ticket, of course. So settle in and enjoy this episode. Next, download episode 111, Inside Job. Not all spiritualist performers were in it for the money, and this one couldn't even stay awake on the job. Of course, that was the point when we're talking about Sleeping Lucy. I think that you're really going to love this story. And finally, there's episode 215, Mind Over Matter. In a world of famous mediums, few were as well-known or respected as Henry Slade. But of course, that's only half the story, and the other half is truly strange. Do check it out. And there you go, folks. You can follow up this week's brand-new episode with a trip into the past.
