People have been asking to introduce myself, and here I am.
I am 20 years old and I live in Toronto, (now London, Canada), Canada.
I have been into magic even since I was a little kid. At first it just fascinated me, but over time I really began to wonder how it was done. So, at about 6-7 years old I began to learn some magic. Over time, watching TV Criss Angel, David Copperfield, and the Masked Magician really brought me into the magic business.
I have learn close-up routines in the past, but I have not really performed them in public. The reason being is that close-up was not really my style and I wasn't known that much for doing it.
I was asked in school in Grade 8-12, to perform a magic show for the whole school. Ever since I loved it and I continued stage magic.
For many years I have been into stage magic. Right now I am saving the funds to put on a better illusion show.
I have worked backstage, and still am working with the Canadian magicians Ted Outerbridge. I have learn much from him.
For my future new illusion show, as of now, I have great transportation (Family owns our own truck/trucking business) we have plenty of storage from the truck garage (not being used) And the income we make is high.
I am probably one of the lucky ones that doesn't need to pay storage and transportation.
I have over 12 years experience in different styles of dance; Hip hop, Ballroom, Folk, etc.
Currently working for my show I have: 2 beautiful assistants, 4 Stagehands, 1 sound, 1 video camera guy.
I am fairly new into illusions but know LOTS about it. At first, I still cant afford the great HUGE illusions that the popular magicians use. I can only afford to buy illusions that are in the $5,000 range. So, I can get a lot of illusions in one show.
As for the last post I asked. Which illusions to buy for the $5000 price. And not to be one of those new comer looking illusions is because I don't want to look like I am new. I want to look more "professional"
So having like guillotine is not really my 'style' BECAUSE its not really an illusion. Its more of a quick stunt that everyone or most people know nothing bad will happen at the end.
Looking for more 'spark' Illusions that will not look like this is my first illusion show, but have been doing it for years.
WANT to know something else? just ask
