Stephen Furness writes with praise of magician Paul Krendl’s latest show in
today’s Chincoteague
(VA) Beacon.
Drawing on his own recollection of working to master our art as a young man,
Mr. Furness’ description of Mr. Krendl’s show last Sunday in the beautiful
Chincoteague Center is the type of press you couldn’t buy.
As human beings, we’re easily magnetized by the mysterious and
unbelievable. When Paul Krendl seemingly swallowed six razors last Sunday, our
eyes were wide with astonishment because we knew that it was quite impossible.
Yet he deceived our minds and eyes into believing this improbability. And that’s
the mark of a superb illusionist — cheating rational minds with a simple ruse
to accept the absurd.
Mr. Furness places the young magician in the same league with other greats:
A magician’s magic is only illusion masked as alchemy. Neither
Welles, Copperfield, nor Krendl are actually magicians, but it’s the child in
all of us that can’t allow our minds to believe otherwise.
Check out Mr. Krendl’s web site and read about his
money-back guarantee. Very impressive.
