Richard Hatch gave up a career as a physicist to become a magician. Although he holds two graduate degrees in physics from Yale University, he says he finds it easier to violate the laws of nature than to discover them.
Along with his other work he’s also a one-man historical preservation society dedicated to a German author killed in the Holocaust. A profile was recently published in the New York Times titled "How a 1933 Book About Jews in Magic Was Rescued From Oblivion."
