An Asian-inspired melody wafts into the crowd from a violin and piano combo as Richard Hatch, Logan magician -- or "deceptionist," the term he prefers -- manipulates a magical device to help him tell a story of a Japanese fisherman.

During his tale, precisely choreographed to the live music of his wife, violinist Rosemary Kimura Hatch, and pianist son Jonathan, Hatch silkily maneuvers a simple reed mat, a little larger than your typical welcome mat.

In Hatch's hands, this simple bundle of reeds and twine becomes 3-D sculptures of characters and places.

Magic, or illusion as those in the trade call it, is an ancient art form.

At one time, magic was used to manage life, much like technology is today. Take the burial of cave bears by European tribes 50,000 years ago. This was likely tribal spell work -- bury the bear and he can't bury you.

Today, people are far more pragmatic. Thanks to special effects and modern technology, we know the magicians we watch on television and in concert are not actually rending the laws of space and time. They are, rather, illusionists.
