Francis Tabary is a magic performer from France. True to his calling, he decided to take one step further in this direction, and create objects that could apparently not exist in three dimensions! The first challenge he tackled was Penrose’s famous triangle (which had actually been created by Reutersvärd in 1934). His researches and efforts eventually resulted in the making of some three-dimensional “impossible” objects you see today. Francis Tabary has made fifteen or so such objects, as well as many “ambigrams” designed as sculptures. One of the most successful ones in my opinion, is the Love-Amor ambigram we blogged about in the past. Today, Tabary dedicates himself entirely to the creation of magic objects, thus giving a unique grandeur and personality to the otherwise ephemeral art of illusionism. Hah! And you thought I had problem spelling harder words! (In truth, I’ve copy-pasted much of Tabary’s biography). Enjoy!
