Sublime

I’m not interested in deceiving people.

None of the lies were harmful.

My favorite videos were the private home recordings of sleight-of-hand legends like: Del Ray. Miller. Grayson. Thompson. These were the guys Walt referred to as “the heavyweights.”

He wanted to be remembered as a real magician, someone who revealed more than he concealed, someone who bridged the gap between our collective consciousness and the divine.

What kind of magician do you want to be?

Rather than appreciating Grayson’s artistry, or allowing myself to simply be entertained, I spent the rest of the show focused on, dissecting, every lie he told.

I knew that he was interested in magic from seeing F for Fake.

“I hope you found what you were looking for.”

(Apparently you’re not an underground legend until you have “the” in your name.)
