A short note from the author

Hi!

I'm John Wolpert, and I grew up working in a theater not unlike the one depicted in The Hidden Stage. It changed my life.

In college at the University of California at Berkeley, I learned how to do a lot of things - from math and science to writing and art.

Today I spend a lot of time helping to create the next magical technologies for the world. You can read about my work at www.thethreepercent.com. Or you can follow me on Twitter or Facebook.

But no matter what I'm doing today, whether it is writing or inventing or building teams, the magic of the theater still breathes life into everything I do.

I hope you like the book. Be sure to tell me what you think by clicking Discuss the Book and making a comment.
