Making Good Magic Great with Tony Chang
We\u2019ve been trying to get Tony Chang on the podcast for a long time and it\u2019s finally happened!\xa0 Jonah and Tony spent some time together and NYC recently.\xa0 But this is the first time we have had the chance to talk to him about his history.\xa0 Tony first fell in love with magic when he saw a clown magician as a kid.\xa0 He got curious and he went to the public library in Idaho, where he grew up and found some books.\xa0 They were incredibly discouraging.\xa0 So he turned to some magic rooms on IRC in the early days of the internet.\xa0 He ordered a Hank Lee book and read it repeatedly.\xa0 His goal with magic is to create something incredible with imperfect means.\xa0 You can create an illusion using blunt mechanics to achieve something impossible.
