Thank you to all our backers for an astonishing first week reaching over 25% of our goal in just a few days. We have been selected by Kickstarter as a "Project We Love" and the campaign will soon be featured in a major online news site.
We've received support from all over the world thanks to Facebook, Twitter and Instagram:
We are listening to your comments and suggestions about rewards and working hard behind the scenes to create unique and wonderful collectibles for this project. In the next few days we will be introducing a couple of new add-ons and will soon share an exclusive peek into the documentary itself.
In the meantime, please keep spreading the word to anyone who loves magic, art and unique characters - your social media posts, emails and direct messages can really help get us over the finish line.

Paul Curry, an amateur magician in New York City, was the first to discover that a square can be cut into a few pieces and the pieces rearranged to make a square of the same size that has a hole in it! There are many versions of the Curry paradox, but this one is the simplest.
