Conceptual artist turned magician, Glenn Kaino talks to the LA Times as a part of an article promoting the upcoming of his magic themed art exhibit at LAX "Safe/Vanish"
An artist best known for conceptual-minded sculpture, Kaino was first drawn to magic about 10 years ago. At that time he taught himself a little "street magic, easy things like two-card monte and making an empty soda can appear full again," he says.
He mainly put those tricks to use during studio visits from curators and writers. "I did a trick when people arrived as a barometer, a heat test â people would either enjoy it or try to figure it out and take it apart. It was my way of telling how the next hour would go."
