How does a magician negotiate the experience of doing magic? They have to know what they're going to do, first off. "What's the root idea of this demonstration?"

Trompe-l'œil

Written by: Jonathan
That word in the title is not a mistake. It's French. And it's a fancy term I learned back in college when I was getting my degree in art. Tompe l'oeil means "to fool the eye" and the term became popular in the 1800's even though the technique had been in use for a couple […]

Espanso: Frivolous Friday

Written by: Jonathan
Let me introduce you to the world of text expanders. Imagine you write the same sentence, reply, or even emoji all the time. Maybe 100's of times a month.

Written by: Jonathan
Me. I'm the idiot. Again. This weekend I had an engagement at this incredible resort hidden away in the mountains of North Carolina. Anytime I travel I like to bring my fancy camera, selfie stick / tripod combo, and shotgun mic to make a vlog / business advice video. And I brought all of that. […]
