I'm a big fan of Sef Vanishes actually

and my own form of fire magic, the one that doesn't involve magic but rather just spinning a couple of balls of fire around on chains, you can't go wrong.

I'm probably best at performing close-up magic. Other than that, I love to watch any kind of magic.

If I like fire magic and levitations but I do them close up for people on stage, what do I choose :P

I love performing stage, I mostly however only get to perform for audiences close-up magic unless working a festival, party, or school. I love learning levitations, and I love messing around with fire magic. I love playing with silk magic, and incorporating it into my stage shows. And I also love reading up on self vanishes and appearances...So I think that covers just about everything which is why I picked "everything".

Agreed and seeing how the topic was only a little over a month old.

Ah well, everyone makes mistakes.... don't take it to heart :wink:

I absolutely love black magic to be honest.

They taste delicous, better than milk tray.

other than that, I love all magic that had good performance behind it, with exception to Angel and Blaine, though Im beginning to warm to Angel in the slightest possible way

I don't do poi (I'm assuming thats what your talking about) but I sometimes light my nunchakus on fire and do a bit of freestyle which is actually very similar to poi.

For magic though I guess I prefer close up card magic the most, Ive been trying to get into coin magic but Ive had some bad experiences with coin magic so Ive kinda got a phobia of it lol.

I really enjoy magic that uses everyday objects that people recognise as these are the effects that most spectators seem to really react too. The more everyday and simple the object the more effective it seems to be Crazymans handcuffs and slydini silks (still trying to get this one down) being perfect examples of this

i like close up magic/mentalism because of the effect that it has on people.. being so close and not being able to figure out what happened.
