The MK Ultra Magic Research Podcast: Recent Episodes
Jeremy Kurtz
In this podcast we look at different pieces of magic theory. Sometimes you will agree, sometimes you won't. We also have occasional reviews, interviews, and rants related to the "art" of magic and it's related fields, (except for inane topics such as "is magic art?" or "how much to charge for a show", or "was Erdnase a Puerto Rican chick?"
In the 1862 book, “The Whole Art of Conjuring” the publisher references art, not by the effects or performances but by the aesthetics associated with the performance of magic, like the look of the props, the stage decoration (referring to a home parlor made up to be a center point for the presentation of magic).
So, Is magic art? Come and have a listen?
Welcome to episode 1 of the MK Ultra Magic Research Podcast. In this episode we are addressing the topic of naturalness in performing style. In our estimation, naturalness is not a quality that is universal. Do you agree? Listen to our opinion and maybe it will shed some light on this very theoretical concept.
