Magick steals and re-stages a sex magick ritual originally performed by Jack Parsons, an original professor at CalTech, founder of Jet Propulsion Laboratories, and an Aleister Crowley follower, who would have naked pregnant women jump through hoops of fire on his tony Pasadena lawn in the 1920s.
"Three Little Thefts" belong to the video component of the For My Enemies project. All three occur in the mythic enactment space of the filmed stage, a space which requires both the spectacle of the staged performance and the magic of the editing eye. The project attempts to locate the balance between humor and agony, between poetry and flat-footedness, between the stage and the screen.
