About Shane Cobalt
This is a photo of me by Dina Litovsky while performing in Osaka, the last stop on my tour of Japan in 2023.
I’ve been obsessed with learning magic for twenty years now and have been doing it professionally for over a decade. Before that, I was diligent and worked in IT, but when I turned 30, I ran away and joined the circus.
In the last decade, I have invented magic for David Blaine, curated David Copperfield’s museum of magic artifacts, lectured, written a few books, and toured the world performing and teaching magic.
I have strong opinions about magic and magicians, and Chasing Dovetails is where I’ll be sharing my thoughts on the pop culture of magic. If you are interested in what goes on in the mind of a magician, stick around.
