Criss and I chat
ted for some tim
e
about the item
s in the shop.
Everything had
a story and Cris
s’
passion for mag
ic is apparent.
Even his desk is
a work of art. It’
s
glass topped an
d inside it is like
a
machine. It is fil
led with gold co
gs
that turn at the
push of a button
,
small and large,
each one conn
ec
ted, pushing th
e motion forwar
d.
Not unlike the
operation I’ve ju
st
walked into.

Behind the desk
, a bookshelf op
ens
to reveal a secr
et door. Behind
it is
a total change
of scene. It is ba
sically a huge clin
ical vault. It is m
ore
like a lab than a
storage facility
and houses ever
y single master
tape from Criss’
career. The vaul
t is
temperature co
ntrolled and to
him,
the contents ar
e priceless.
Naturally at this
point I decided
to ask Criss abou
t his take on TV
magic specials
.
