"Mindfulness" has become a bit of a hot topic lately as it applies to cancer survivors. There's no question that our thoughts influence how we behave. The bigger question is how influential are the thoughts that we conjure up on our health?
Can we think ourselves sick? Or well?
I knew that I wanted to spend my life as a working magician when I was 12 years old. I was drawn to the art in large part by the "science" of it, though I was not totally aware of that at the time. I loved the physics employed in the creation of stage illusions and the psychology used in sleight-of-hand tricks.
Over the 35 years of my performing career, whenever we visited schools with our shows, the elementary school students would often ask me, "Are you doing real magic? Is there real magic in the world?"
