So, tomorrow night I am interviewing David Stone (in person) for my website (http://www.magicireland.com).

Is there anything here anyone wants me to ask him?

First rule of interviewing: what do you want to know?

The website is aimed at magicians, I have stock questions that I ask any interview subject (How did you get into magic, if you could give one bit of advice to a novice magician what would it be, what is your opinion on magicical societies and their importance to a magicians career, how do you feel piracy and exposure is affecting magic etc). So I have them, and a couple of ones aimed specifically at him. But I was interested to see was there anything in particular that magicians here wanted to know about the man.

I want to know what it's like to be both a magician and devilishly handsome...

I can answer that one.

Yes, but Farls can't

A couple? Let's double that. Off the top of my head:

What was it about La Voile Rouge that made him stay so long?

From philosopher to award-winning magician must have been an amazing journey. How does a degree in philosophy help his magic?

does he ever ponder the fate of humanity, whilst smoking a cafe creme and staring out of a window, wistfully damning his own cognitive fallacies?

Cheers for them Tomo, great questions.

David is an interesting chap, did you know he was 19 when he first got interested in magic? I often find it disheartening (as someone who discovered magic in my early 20s) when I am constantly hearing about how the magicians I look up to were seven or eight years old when they first got into magic. It's nice to see that someone who only discovered the art when they were a few years younger than I was can become such an inspiration at it!

Is your french accent put on, and are you really a cockney from London?
