Yes that would be me. The woman on the left is my partner in crime, Shava. Together our world is always magic. I started doing magic when I was knee high to a grapevine.
The image here, was of me performing at Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet and technology. I did what folks are calling the first "mixed reality" magic effect. A spectator selected a playing card from a shuffled deck. Then, my Second Life Avatar Tuna Oddfellow who was on a big screen on the wall revealed the card on a psychedelic graphic display. All without me touching the computer that was projecting Second Life.
Back in 2005 when I became an early adopter in Second Life, my love for graphic design and magic created a logical progression for me. I asked the question, how do we create a sense of wonder in a world where the first thing people learn how to do is fly. I created a show in 3D space involving particles, psychedelic textures and scripted primitives.
I am so glad to see that we have an active community here. You never know what a community will be like till you start getting replies. Thank you for being awesome. I have a feeling this group and I will be hearing a lot from each other.
Talk to you Soon,
Tuna-Fish
