Iterations centres Cassani’s obsession with the skill and precision of sleight of hand magic. It invites us to consider the performance of the seemingly impossible.
Through deconstructed routines and text that re-imagines the aesthetic tropes of magic, we are offered time to reflect and re-interpret. This exposé of the practising magician explores how impossibilities emerge through repetition, actions, gestures and self-reflection. See how placing a coin into a pocket becomes a lifetime’s work.
Learn how hard it really is, to do something impossible so effortlessly.
