This form of entertainment seeks to enlighten us through art and entertainment. Indeed, it is through a deep sense of play that we learn more about our community and ourselves. In a world that seeks to objectify the person and market to the potential, magic is an art that helps us remain human. Far beyond being complex puzzles, magic teaches us to be children again. It is from this perspective that we appreciate the wonders of life. My dream is to continue to share my art with audiences all over the world. My hope is that these audiences will come away entertained and enlivened. I hope to see you at a performance where we can play... together.” Derek Selinger
