David Acer interviewed by Chris Beason



From Chris Beason's interview of  David Acer over at Penguin Magic:
I only remember a few acts from the first convention that I ever attended. I remember a few really bad acts (you know who you are!) and I remember seeing the funniest act of my life…

…and that hilarious act was David Acer. His performance was equal parts wit, skill and expertly performed magic. Since then, I’ve bought every book, trick and DVD that he’s come out with and used several of his effects in my act. To say that I’m a fan would be an understatement, so I thought it’s about time that I asked him some questions.

The world of magic: Looking for a new rabbit

That's the headline of this Toronto Star article which quotes Jay Sankey, Dan Trommater, Shawn Farquhar, David Acer and Murray Hatfield discussing the decline and relevance of contemporary magic.

What do you think?  Is Jay the only one who thinks that magic as we know it is doomed?

From the IMX 2011 website:
IMX 2011 brings together 20+ of the world’s greatest performers in 3 days of non-stop magic – incredible performances, unrivalled training and mindblowing skill.
Included in their all-star line up are Canada's own David Acer, Juliana Chen* and Richard Sanders!

* While Chen no longer resides in Canada, in the summer of 2003, she was the subject of a four-page cover story in Canadian magazine, Saturday Night.  Since she was the first Canadian magician to be featured on the cover of a national magazine since the late Doug Henning, we'll still claim her as ours.
