David is actually one of the most thoughtful performers in the art.

Inspiring thoughts that can lead the pathway to succeed and enhance the art of magic.
These old photo's are some of the points that David was referring too. The cups and balls more than any other feat caught the fancy of artists. Hundreds of woodcuts, prints, and paintings show it being performed through the years. Hieronymus Bosch (c 1460-1516) made the most famous painting. As his magician diverts the audience a thief takes advantage of the moment to lift an astonished spectator's purse. Joseph of Ulm included a cups and balls performer in a drawing showing the influences of the moon. His 1405 manuscript is in the library of the University of Tuebingen. Another fifteenth-century artist made a woodcut of a similar scene for his Wirkungen der Planeten, which was issued about 1470. Graham.
Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.
