Trust Me, I'm a Magician
Magician Paul Hyland explains that he is not a trickster. At least, not a dishonest one. Recorded at the End of the Road music festival.
Paul Hyland is a writer and a magician - but, as he explains in this entertaining essay, he is not a trickster. At least, not a dishonest one. "Did the painter trick you when his reclining nude turned out to be no more than a layer of pigments, textures, lines of perspective, light and shade on a flat canvas?" Recorded at the End of the Road music festival.
Producer: Richard Knight.
