Description

Mindful Artfulness is author Ben Robinson's charming companion volume to his, Artful Mindfulness (2016). The Foreword by Ted Chapin and the Preface Cartoon by Charles Schneider, set up the rare insight into film, theatre, circus and the day-to-day gigs of the traveling Master Magician author. Readers feel the performer's deep insight. Montauk Actors Group leader Gary Swanson remarked, "In this book, Ben Robinson is in the same room with you." From the Krieger-Flosso family "knighting" the author, to a Gummo Marx unpublished letter, Mindful Artfulness is revealing. Reviews and retrospectives of the artful antics of Le Cirque Invisible, and the resurrection of Harry Watson Jr.'s hobo clown Musty Suffer, Mindful Artfulness explores pop culture from the 1800's to today. In depth profiles: the hilarious, spiritually-truthful comedian Bill Hicks, actor John Cazale (Fredo in The Godfather), England's celebrity magician Paul Daniels, and the Marx Brothers stand center stage. The author's true tales, previously published reviews of books, films, theatre and circus thrive with energy. Mindful Artfulness concludes Ben Robinson's trilogy regarding wonder, mindfulness and artfulness.
