Magic Show

Jonathan Allen

Magic Show

Shows how visual artists and magicians operate in realms where logic becomes unstable, and superstition, fantasy and mysticism encroach. This work explains how artists adopt magicians' perception-shifting ploys and manipulate credulity in their explorations of the creative agency of illusion, the power of suggestion and the fragility of belief.
