Technology illusion specialist Adam Trent is in New Zealand as part of The Illusionists 2.0 show and 3 News was invited to sit down with him and discuss magic. <\/p>\n
Adam Trent's role in The Illusionists is as The Futurist. <\/p>\n
\"I'm trying to present magic in a way that I believe has not been seen before and the way it will be in the future,\" says Trent. <\/p>\n
\"Incorporating technology is a very big part of my show, I think the future of magic does lie in incorporating technological aspects. I have giant LED screens, I jump inside them, I smash into them, I clone myself on stage, I teleport across the stage. There's a bit of everything.\" <\/p>\n
Check out a taste of The Futurist here. <\/p>\n
\"You're seeing thousands of faces, hearing gasps, hearing laughter and applause - that feeling as a magician is addictive,\" says Trent. <\/p>\n
\"It's like a comedian how they have a strive for laughter, for a magician you want to hear people gasp and see that 'oh!' expression on their faces. It's an amazing feeling.\" <\/p>\n
More information on Trent is available on his official website and more information on The Illusionists 2.0 is available on the Auckland Live website. <\/p>\n
