Magic Tricks

I really loved this lecture. If you're familiar with Lewis' other work, you'll love his minimalist approach to the art born out of maximizing the effect with the most practical method achievable.

Lewis really does have a gift with simplicity that a professional strives for. The ironic arc of artistic maturity begins with simplicity, and then inclines towards complexity. Many people stay either at the foot of the hill or at the top and specialize--but the master, when seeing the end of the trail, will begin to carve his own through the woods.

Lewis has not only summitted the mountain, but has carved a trail back down and onward towards exciting places. If you are coming with the right expectations--this lecture is a brilliant sampling of Lewis' work on method, effect, and justification.
