My job as a magician is to take someone out of their comfort zone and show them something amazing. Sometimes I like to play, improvise and experiment during performance and more often than not it is very successful. I often think that my role is to not really know what I am doing and the spectator doesn’t know what they are experiencing it is in this space that magic exists; this I feel is similar to the relationship between an artist and those who view the artists work. I probably spend more time thinking about the psychological construction of a performance piece or the psychological interaction between myself and my audience than any other element. Psychology is to me the most important aspect of a magicians work and therefore sometimes improvisation can teach you more about the magic-psychology relationship in one second than anything else could in one year.
