Discussion then followed with Barry sharing his experiences about working in the world of magic, how he creates illusions, and techniques that he uses to perform magic. Here are some introductory thoughts from Barry to stimulate your own imagination about a magical universe. Maybe next Cafe we can discuss this topic.
Life is the same way.
In the scientific paradigm, each one of us is a collection of physical parts, life is just a series of chemical and biological events. The mind, self and soul are mere illusion. But, in the magical universe - mind, self and soul are real. The laws of the physical world can be suspended when it is necessary to awaken ourselves to the feeling of wonder. Stories and illusions are sculpted and formed by the use of the artist's body only.
