About Me
Fellow Magi, look for me. Much like a Chimera, I seek to become A figment of the imagination. Magic hopes to define the wildly unrealistic ideas, and completely impractical and insane plans. I hope to become; mere wild fancy; an unfounded conception in the playground called; ILLUSION.To those of you who have come to know me in this forum. No doubt you will notice a BIG CHANGE in the theme and ambience of this page. I have recenlty become quite intersted in "Magic" and the art of "Illusiion"And soon I will ask. Are you ready to have your concepts and preconceived notions of; What Is REAL, CHALLENGED?

And in a way, it serves to show my friends how I will be progressing.Like me; If you are new to magic, you are bound to find the different categories. There are many different areas of magic, You may decide to specialize in one area of magic. Or like me, you may decide to research and learn from all areas. You know...so as to diversify your act. Ultimately, the decision is yours as to which kind you choose to perform. As you read more you will find the areas of magic categorized. Specified below are just a small help for you because some feats
can be demonstrated CLOSE UP as well as STAND UP.Most of your intitial questions regarding this information can be found on the internet. I am not yet, a PRO. But I will gladly discuss what I have found thus far. No! I will not reveal secrets. Where is the fun in that? Rather, I will gladly direct you to some great places to find what you need... To get started. There are many books, DVDs, and even tricks that you can purchase (See The Ellusionist. In my Top friends section) and learn at your own pace. If you really have a passion for this form of entertainment; You will, as I am, have a great deal of fun just realizing how involved this is. You begin to see a pattern of dedicated atrtists that emulate magicians of the past, and make the old tricks more contemporary. And in some cases you will find that there is a sort of sub-culter that is always trying to out do the next by creating a newer demonstration that defys our current definition of what is real and what is possible. I like to think that magicians play on that a very real battle going on between the right side of your brain (the creative side), and the left side of your brain (the literal side). They demonstrate, in a creative manner; what literaly can not be. They stand firm, and trick you into being momentarily trapped somewhere in between. They are not going to show you how it is done. So, you are left to your imaginations. Shortly after your brain resets that is. :)If you are a couch potatoe, may I suggest you just be a fan. Catch Criss Angel on A&E. Take in a show. Fans are required. So, devoutees of couch potatoedom. Remain seated, we are waiting to entertain you.I say this, because; I am finding that the first thing is to get into shape. Few of the feats you will learn are ever going to be perfected well enough to perform if you are not one to do some level of excercise. Even a good slight of hand requires dexterity and tone in the muscles of your hands. In shape like a marathon runner or body builder? No. But if you tire easily. Get some sort of routine going to get into shape. As you progress you will want to perform greater, more involved feats.So what are the areas of "Magic"?STAND UP Magic
This is known as magic for the stage, salon, palour or Party Magic. The articles you find here are suited more for a larger audience. This is a great place for comedy routines.CLOSE UP Magic
Also known as Micro Magic, or Table Magic. The items presented here are more suitable for the smaller audience in more close-quarter surroundings. Some items in Close Up Magic you will find under Street Magic. I like this form the most. It is; The in your face How did you do that? MAGIC.CARD MAGIC is always a wonder for the audience. Under this category, you will find some great professional items.COIN MAGIC is fascinating again and again since coins are used in our daily lives. Besides cash is always an interesting topic. supply a wide variety
of coins and trick coins.MENTAL or MENTALISM is the kind of magic that many say comes close to being REAL MAGIC. It involves ESP, telepathy, and other miracles of the mind.You can see that in many cases, the more famous names have put a great deal of effort in knowing something from all areas of MAGIC. On my profile you will notice that some famous faces are on my top friends list. It may be my opinion alone; (I doubt that though) However, these are the name and faces you will see and reckognize as todays top magicians. For now, I can only strive to emulate them. And so, if you bump into me on the street some day. When you ask...How did I do that? I will only say... "Lot's of practice. Lot's of practice."For now, this page should be considered..."Under construction". Stop by. Any day and see what evloves.Have a magical day.
