Marco Tempest quotes

Art is a deception that creates real emotions - a lie that creates a truth. And when you give yourself over to that deception, it becomes magic. (Marco Tempest)

The tricks of magic follow the archetypes of narrative fiction - there are tales of creation and loss, death and resurrection, and obstacles that must be overcome.

Marco Tempest

Marco Tempest

Magicians will always tell you the trick is the most important thing, but Im more interested in telling a story.

Marco Tempest

One of the key qualities of all stories is that they are made to be shared.

Marco Tempest

I don't try to show off technology in my work. The technology is a means to tell stories, so I think conversations about my work can be had by very large audiences.

Marco Tempest

Magicians are typically introverted; they don't tend to work with others, but I work with software programmers, composers, designers, so it's a very diverse group and the result is always more interesting than something I could have done by myself.
