I consider myself lucky to have gotten to meet, perform with, and sometimes be friends with those who I see as visionaries in the art of magic. Those who do things a little bit differently. The guys who I watched on TV in my youth who showed me that magic isn't just tuxes, doves, and big silly boxes.
I can never express my gratitude to those people without sounding like an utter tard, so here I say a collective thank you and tip of my red hat to those who have taken it upon themselves to make this world a more awesome place and give a humble optical illusionist a chance every now and again.
May we all find what we're looking for in the end.
