Blurry Hysteria: Wand Tricks & Censorship Kicks- Magicians, Morals, and Making It Weird | 431

This week onBlurry Hysteria, we're pulling rabbits out of uncomfortable hats!
First up, the U.S. government is waving its moral wand again with a proposed federal bill tostandardize obscenity laws—which sounds like code for “bye-bye porn, hello legal chaos.” Is this a noble crusade to clean up the internet, or just the 500th reboot ofFootloose, but with more pixels and fewer dance numbers? Either way, we’re not sure if we should be horrified or just... slightly bored.
Then, we conjure up the magical tale ofThe Magic Circle’s first female member, who fooled the boys' club by disguising herself as a man in the early 1900s. Spoiler alert: she was better at sleight of handandmustache application than any of them. Gender-bending misdirection? Nowthat’sa trick worth applauding.
Tune in for a magical and moderately NSFW episode where illusion meets institution, and nothing is quite what it seems!
