Amazing, to me, that what started as a gambit, a 'what if', 10 years ago in Edinburgh, has now become a substantial part of what I do, research and think about. The gambit was: 'what if I return to my teen passion of card tricks, and try and combine them with performance ideas I've been developing in art contexts?'
I still feel as wide-eyed, searching impossibly, nowhere near to finding a solution.
To mark 10 years of Vincent Gambini - the name under which I’ve been hybridizing magic and performance art - I’ll be doing 10 posts in the next few days, each one spotlighting a magic performance I made in this time, including as part of other artists’ projects.
I will also make available the 2021 film The Disappearing of Vincent Gambini, made with Hugo Glendinning during lockdown.
In the meantime, here's a still from the 1992 film My Cousin Vinny, in which Joe Pesci plays, who other, than Vincent Gambini. In this sequence, he executes a rather fetching sleight-of-hand trick.
