To some of the greatest performing magicians alive today, the multi-faceted Jerry Andrus is the name of a legend. Renowned as one of the best and most influential "close-up magic" performers of our time, Jerry is equally regarded among scientists, educators and skeptics as a visionary, poet, philosopher, inventor and creator of truly astounding optical illusions. Andrus: The Man, The Mind & The Magic is the in-depth look at a modern day Da Vinci told by the man himself, along with extensive interviews from some of the notable thinkers, artists and magicians in the world today.
Robert Neary (Director)
Andrus is Robert Neary’s first professional documentary feature film. Robert has made several small productions back in the early days when film editing was accomplished with scissors and glue. A member of several skeptic and freethinker organizations, such as Oregonians for Science and Reason and the Skeptics Society, Robert took on the project of telling the Jerry Andrus story from the skeptic’s perspective. Robert lives in Corvallis, Oregon, with his wife Nancy.
