Real Magic in an Age of Illusion
“…Magic does not become real by creating many different illusions, but rather by breaking just one. When this illusion is broken, a door opens to all sorts of astonishing wizardry that seems like it belongs in a dream or a movie, but is in fact an often-forgotten human inheritance that we need to draw on now more than ever.”
-Excerpt from Antithesis by Aaron Alexander
Welcome to the enchant.space shop! This body of work grew out of some research into social perception that became Reality as an Art, a self-published book which went viral over 10 years ago. That book opened the door to spending the following years meeting and consulting for some of the top magic and mystery art acts in the world, as well as some truly fascinating and talented artists and scientists. Â
In a time where people are tired of hyper-novelty and mistrustful of illusion, this may be a take that is useful for those wishing to spread wonder and connection in ways that people immediately know cannot be faked.

"He’s the guy that’s behind the curtain. Those who have worked in TV, those who have been around for a long time, he’s the guy we go to when we want to take everything up a level… there is nobody else in the world of magic that gets me as excited as this guy does. I know it’s not just me who thinks that."

"If you're new to this kind of work, you'll get to learn from someone who really understands how to create alternate realities for people where anything is possible. If you're experienced, you'll happily find that Aaron's approach is fresh in the best way possible.

“I’m really taken with, stunned by and inspired by this piece (and the author’s work in general). I haven’t adopted anything this good and valuable in a long, long time…and as I told Aaron, I knew instantly this would be one of those “forever” pieces in my toolkit and arsenal. It’s amazing. “
