Rachel Lawson's The Magicians Podcast

Blood on the stage. A ghost in the dress circle. And a vampire assistant with a dangerous obsession for rabbits.

Blake is a sorcerer, a showman, and—when duty calls—a grim reaper. After yet another botched magic act involving exploding hats and traumatized rabbits, Blake stumbles upon something far more haunting than his assistant Max’s antics: the lingering spirit of Frederick Baker, the real-life Phantom of Melbourne’s Princess Theatre.

Joined by his son Lance, a sharp-witted reaper with a nose for the dead, Blake must navigate haunted corridors, theatrical legends, and a ghost who refuses to leave the only stage he ever loved. But when loneliness and longing take center stage, even the dead might be convinced to move on—with the promise of a pet rabbit.

✨ The Magicians: Shadow Play is a darkly whimsical tale of magic, memory, and the bittersweet beauty of letting go. Perfect for fans of gothic fiction, theatrical lore, and supernatural stories with heart.
