So magic is a very introverted field.

While scientists regularly publish their latest research,
1
19260
3000
00:22
we magicians do not like to share our methods and secrets.
2
22260
4000
00:26
That's true even amongst peers.
3
26260
2000
00:28
But if you look at creative practice as a form of research,
4
28260
3000
00:31
or art as a form of R&D for humanity,
5
31260
4000
00:35
then how could a cyber illusionist like myself
6
35260
2000
00:37
share his research?
7
37260
2000
00:39
Now my own speciality is combining digital technology and magic.
8
39260
4000
00:43
And about three years ago,
9
43260
2000
00:45
I started an exercise
10
45260
2000
00:47
in openness and inclusiveness
11
47260
2000
00:49
by reaching out into the open-source software community
12
49260
4000
00:53
to create new digital tools for magic --
13
53260
3000
00:56
tools that could eventually be shared with other artists
14
56260
3000
00:59
to start them off further on in the process
15
59260
3000
01:02
and to get them to the poetry faster.
16
62260
4000
01:06
Today, I'd like to show you something which came out of these collaborations.
17
66260
3000
01:09
It's an augmented reality
18
69260
2000
01:11
projection tracking and mapping system,
19
71260
2000
01:13
or a digital storytelling tool.
20
73260
3000
01:16
Could we bring down the lights please? Thank you.
21
76260
3000
01:22
So let's give this a try.
22
82260
2000
01:27
And I'm going to use it
23
87260
2000
01:29
to give you my take
24
89260
3000
01:32
on the stuff of life.

Okay.
