Beautiful and powerful words from Eugene that are completely applicable to Mentalism and all Mystery Arts, not just Bizarre Magick.
Most Magicians and Mentalist dont allow true mystery to occur. They prefer to say that everything is a trick, deception and even beyond that, denying the unknown by claiming that "there is no such thing as..." just because they can pretend.
Thats like saying that human hair is false because there are wigs.
At the roots of Magic and Mentalism we can find the true meaning of these arts. Being able to produce mysterious results such as transformations or telepathic connections were the bridges towards a deeper meaning. What we do is not just entertainment or even just aesthetic actions, but a spark of the Mystery that we cant name through this wonderful artform.
We can entertain our friends and offer our art as professional services, sure, but dont let that misdirect you from the origin. You can use your Mystery Performance as a suggestion of the unavoidable nature of Life, Reality and our Existence, a beautiful and profound mystery.
If you are interested in learning how to design an atmosphere that truly allows you to explore our real potential as Mystery Performers, you can study The Path of Mystery
