When I was going to Okanagan College to get my diploma in Telecommunications and Networking Engineering I used to read the Schneier on Security blog daily. Its been like 3 years since then, and I don’t read it anymore… But its still a great blog, and he’s a brilliant man. A few days ago the world between security and magic crossed when he posted an article about how con artists exploit human behavior and a magician Paul Wilson was part of the project.
I just came across this really awesome performance piece by Simon Drake done entirely in Silhouette.
I love the moments of bizarre magic with the flames, the skeleton face, and the transformation of the woman. Very fun to watch.
