At this year's T.A.O.M. convention in Austin, Texas, I had time to sit down to chat with Peter Samelson, one of the performers/lecturers. We talked about his development of some of his signature effects, both close-up and stage and how he personalized some of the classics (Snowstorm in China, Gypsy Thread, etc.) and make a connection with the audience.
