What is magic? | Tom Crosbie | TEDxUniversityofYork
“Magic”, despite being one of the world’s oldest professions, still comes with many preconceptions. Magic has long since evolved from the days of rabbits in hats, magic wands and cutting women in half, and yet people still often imagine a terrible children’s entertainer from their childhood, or a table magician in a cheap restaurant. Forget what you think you know about magic and take a look from another perspective. Aside from explaining how Tom managed to make the sun vanish, this talk will be an in depth analysis trying to define magic, and attempting to answer the question: “Is magic truly an art form?”
“This is Tom Crosbie; he is a very creative, funny, clever human. As a magician he is very passionate about magic. His methods are often as impressive as his effects.” - Garrett Thomas, writer/consultant to David Blaine. Taken from the foreword of Tom’s book, Just Be Croz. Often described as one of Britain’s finest young magicians, Tom Crosbie performs magic professionally to audiences across the world. At the age of just 23, his ideas and creations have already been published in magazines and books, and he has produced two DVDs and a book. He has studied the art form since the age of four and Tom is now considered the UK’s and even the world’s leading authority on certain aspects of magic.
