John Wade is an experienced full time professional well-known in the UK to TV viewers. He gives all the little known hints and tips on radio magic and how to compere.

"John Wade's discussion of doing magic on radio was excellent. I strongly recommend it." - Magic Sound

"I can assure readers that this is a tape that can prevent a lot of headaches for those interested in playing the MC role (Master of Ceremonies)." - Sid Lorraine

Roger Crosthwaite wrote the following after hearing John's recording: "These John Mendoza recordings are absolutely superb! Anyone who buys them will certainly not be disappointed for there is something for everyone ....he is a commercial performer who stresses direct and visual magic. Seasoned card workers will be excited and challenged by some beautiful new magic of the highest order and caliber...these insights into his own philosophy of magic are so valuable and really only come through the spoken word." A treat for anyone who is into advanced close-up material.
