When I was only seven years old, I saw my first real magic show while visiting Sea World in Florida. I waited in line for over 2 hours to get good seats, they were on the front row. The magician showed us amazing illusions. He needed an assistant and I was selected to help with a Cut and Restored Rope routine. After the illusion, the magician gave me the rope and a piece of paper explaining the illusion. I still have a piece of that rope (the rest I used in performances). The next day, I begged my parents to take me to a local magic shop in Florida and a nice magician helped them select a Blackstone magic set and a simple card trick to get me started. I spent the next few years practicing and learning. I found that my local library had some books on magic. I checked every single one of them out multiple times. It is now more than 20 years later. I've had the privilege of working with many wonderful magicians. Those books I used to check out now sit in my own library. I'm still learning, everyday. And I hope that I can entertain children, and take adults on a journey back to childhood... if only for a moment... to see how magical the world truly can be. |
