The April 2002 issue of Genii featured effects by Ben Harris, columns by Gregg Webb, James Swain, and Mac King, and a short article called “Scriptwriting for Magicians,” the first appearance in print of what would eventually lead me to write Scripting Magic. So it is with an extra dose of pride that I return to Genii as a columnist.
Since my first appearance, I have spent most of my time in magic working on the presentational side of things. That’s the only aspect of magic that I can write about with any real expertise. I’m not a professional magician and when I’m speaking with any working pro I constantly remind myself that they know more about performing magic than I do. But I probably know more about scripting than they do, so together we can create something wonderful.
