I think cinema, movies, and magic have always been closely associated. The very earliest people who made film were magicians.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Movie magic is movie magic and acting magic is acting magic.
Harry Collins was the first magician I ever saw back in 1965 when I was five years old. He was doing a magic show and I was the volunteer from the audience.
Magic in cinema is a bit like ventriloquism on the radio.
When I was a little kid - and even still - I loved magic tricks. When I saw how movies got made - at least had a glimpse when I went on the Universal Studios tour with my grandfather, I remember feeling like this was another means by which I could do magic.
All I know is movies; I went to school, but movies are my reference point for everything. I figured I'd have to P.A. or intern in the art department. Because the filmmaking process is so many people creating to make one piece of magic, so I've always wanted to be involved. With the acting, I doubted it.
Actors and magicians are both performers, and they represent things that are not necessarily who they are.
Movies started out as an extension of a magic trick, so making a spectacle is part of the game.
Working with Terry Gilliam was magic - I've been watching his films since I was little.
Movies are like magic tricks.
I always really liked magicians. I'm not even sure why - except that they know things other people don't, and they live in untidy rooms full of strange objects.
