I wanted to pass along my observations regarding an "educational" experience I recently had.
I
was given an opportunity to watch a person perform and teach magic with not only its parts and
mechanics, but most important, all of the mortar and nuances that shape and create each part of his
show.
The secrets were always the LEAST important factor. Some of the most important things
discussed were the "why's" not the "how's," blocking, (regardless of it being a close-up show), all
the good words needed; selection of assistants; routine philosophy; creative thought process;
crediting the creators; and much more.
One "striking factor" was the magician's appearance.
I saw no t-shirts, jeans, baggy pants, sweatshirts, stocking-caps, tattoos, piercings, bad hair
style, dirty finger nails, (on him anyway); no vernacular, or silly costume in bad taste.
He
certainly was the best dressed person in that studio!
This guy was in a 3 piece suit! He was
well-groomed, spoke clearly and distinctly, was pleasant and respectful to his audience! He actually
looked like a magician! What an anomaly!!!
You must understand, for a long time, I've been
trying to come up with what a magician, in this society and culture,
should look like. Now I
have the right picture and idea!
His name...Larry Hass.
So, STUDENTS OF MAGIC TAKE NOTE!
THIS IS ONE GENTLEMAN THAT "SETS A PERFECT EXAMPLE for us all!"
A CLASS ACT!
