A conjuring act in the form of an interview : writing as/about practice, 1st Edition
This text presents a semi-fictional interview between a theatre artist (Augusto Corrieri), a magician (Vincent Gambini), and a representative from an Edinburgh art studio and gallery (Rhubaba). They discuss how ‘theatre’ might be seen as an architectural apparatus, a kind of magic box that produces certain modes of perception, and how these can be exploited by artists and magicians. There is a first-hand account of the process that magicians undergo in order to train in sleight of hand, touching on questions of ‘authenticity’ in the act of performing, and finally a discussion around the issue of using pseudonyms as a way of giving oneself permission to to perform in ways one might never think desirable.
