\nJochen Dehn, the performance artist whose lessons, demonstrations, workshops and experiments, are consistently doomed to partial failure (total failure would constitute too much of an achievement), will be hosting a class at the London Southbank Centre<\/a> from 11 June to 11 July.<\/p>\n

Guaranteed to be highly entertaining, the class will explore the basic techniques used to execute magic tricks and illusions.<\/p>\n

By using simple gestures of both attention and distraction, Dehn will show how to reshape, close and refill an empty drink’s can; make three different playing cards become one; show how solid objects can become penetrable; and demonstrate how to make someone disappear in a box. The class will look at simple objects (and techniques) in an attempt to create new uses for them and to evaluate their potential for magic.<\/p>\n
