Luca Volpe is a great.... yeah is a great..... he's a wonderful.....
Darn... I love to be able to put people into a single box but Luca is one of those people who can do just about anything. He's a awesome illusionist, close up magician, singer/songwriter/piano player and a great mentalist. If he'd play guitar and wear a purple trenchcoat, he would look similar to Prince in Purple Rain.
Him and I have exchanged emails on mentalism on a few occasions the past two years. Shared ideas and products and I always enjoy reading his stuff.
When he asked me to contribute to his new project and that he told me that Paul Brook, (for whom I have the utmost respect and who's written the most influential work in the last 10 years on psychological entertainment) I was completely into it. I was thinking about what to share because the subject is very big and I did not want to contribute something cheesy or something that may have been covered in the project.
So after some thought, I decided to post an effect that is part of my World War 2 story-telling history infotainment lesson. This particular effect has moved several people to choking up. It's a very powerful moment where a volunteer reveals the person's visual characteristics and then seeing the picture matching for the very first time that it really touches deep and hard.
In the meantime I asked Luca when his project would be released and he keeps saying in a few months, so I patiently wait.
Today he mailed me whether I could resend the document because him or his producer could not open the document (anymore). I was frantic because I did not have the document on my drive anymore.
In a brief moment I was thinking that my contribution would not be on this project. Luckily I remembered that I had made a backup and dug through my "Scrapheap" and found the drive. I was able to find the document quickly thanks to Apple Time Machine.
So all I need to do now, is wait until the project is released I cannot wait.
