David Morey: The Magic of Imagination
What’s the first magical thing you remember seeing? And who is the first magician you ever saw?
Age 4 or 5, I went to a birthday party and a magician from New Jersey made a signed bill magically re-appear inside a lemon. My child-eyes saw a miracle. And soon, I was watching Mark Wilson’s “The Magic Land of Alakazam” on our black-and-white TV every week . . . and starting to read everything I could find about Harry Houdini. I even tried to convince my electrical engineer father to make me a Water Torture Cell.
