Hello,

I recently gained a fascination with Paul Harris. He seems so odd and his magic has received tons of praise, and now I have taken an interest in him and his magic.

Does anyone know anything about him? Is he a drifter?

I will most likely buy The Art Of Astonishment at The CAM Convention in two weeks. Can anyone recommend any of his material? Any history behind him?

There was just a HUGE and fantastic article in MAGIC Magazine about him, but it mostly focused on his time with th writer recently and his new projects. Apparently there are 9 Art Of Astonishment DVDs in the works which look great.

Any information or recommendations are appreciated!

Well, for starters, he's a good friend of Eric Mead, who's one of the best around.
Paul's performances aren't as good as his creativity. He doesn't emphasize the magic enough- he expresses himself. Some of the odd looking effects were inspired by paintings. His methods are often simple relative to the effect. "Leaf" is pure genius.

Leaf looks fantrastic, and I am looking forward to learning it from Art of Astonishment.
