A followup to the previous post, Delft Speaks —
Manohla Dargis, film reviewer, on illusionist Penn Jillette:
“It’s as if Vermeer,” Mr. Jillette says, “were
some unfathomable genius who could just
walk up to a canvas and magically paint
with light.” And everyone knows — perhaps
professional illusionists most of all — that
magic doesn’t exist.
