Dancing With Invisibility
In 2013 I undertook an Honors year in Theatre and Performance at Monash University. I wanted to understand how magic works, and why we can be so easily fooled by the psychological manipulations of a clever performer. My underlying theory is that reality is a fluid, nebulous concept that is shaped and distorted by those with the power to do so, in order to promote their vested interests. In this way the magician seeking to create an experience of true wonder, is like the politicians, media moguls and those who promote the interests of rampant capitalism - creating an unique reality that backs up their actions.
