"Merlin the traveling magician from Texas recites poetry while performing magic in downtown Aspen on Saturday.
In a poem he wrote titled “Life,” Merlin says, “There is no right or wrong, good or evil, there is only learning,
learning to love yourself. The loneliness and emptiness that we all feel from time to time
can never be filled with anything except love, love for yourself."
