Rudy Coby who is performing at the Magicopolis this month is featured in the Los Angeles Times. The story is a brief biography of Coby's career and how he got into magic it also describes his views on magic. The show is described as, "...pyrotechnic, cyberpunk, techno, action, and theater of the absurd, all wrapped in one." Coby explains his show, "I thought if I combined magic with a comic book sensibility, my character would be as interesting as Batman. ...I used magic as a special effect the way Spielberg creates images in 'Jurassic Park.' Magic in my show is a means rather than an end. We're using magic to bring a cartoon life onstage." To read the Oct. 7 article by Nedra Lindsey titled "Magic on the run" click: HERE.(10/10)
