Thurston Kellar hadn't planned on becoming a magician.
As a boy, he loved reading, superheroes, and music. In college he had other interests and goals. He studied anthropology and cultural studies, earned a PhD, and built a successful career as an anthropologist and scholar.
And then, one night, he happened to catch a TV special about magic.
The show deeply impressed upon him something he'd never before considered: magic is a fascinating art form that had gone largely overlooked—notably, by philosophers and scholars of all sorts.
