Hi All...

I have been a member of TalkMagic for a while, but never really used it's services, so this is the start of me regularly attending these rooms :)

I am a professional close up magician, having starting magic at the age of 13, and luckily getting my first professional job at a Brewers Fayre restaurant at the age of 15 ! I then worked there for 6 years which turned out to be the groundwork for my whole life in magic.

At the same time as that I began as a British Champion Ice-Skater, and at the age of 18, due to injury stopped training, gave up skating, and decided to mix the dance, magic, and illusion into an act called Latin-Magic. This act has been pretty successful since... I started around the holiday camps, then performed a few corporate and masonic gigs, and we broke into the ships 5 years ago. Now we are regular performers onboard PandO's Oceana and Oriana, as well as Royal Caribbean, Fred Olsen, and many more... With my first Big Break coming in April where I start a 5 month contract upon Princess Cruise Lines with my renamed act "The Illusions of James Anthony". Anyway am I waffling on now ;) Surely you don't want to know all this hehe. See http://www.jamesanthony.co.uk for act details and video.

I'm not one of these magicians however that practices religiously.. I do have a life ;) I love partying, dancing especially salsa and latin-American, and Caribbean rum ;) Oh and of course the Caribbean itself... damn I miss it !

From the age of 17 I set up an internet magic shop.. it started off with the worst design ever, and as my experience in internet design increased, so did the professionalism of the websites I created. That site is MagicWorld and was the original MagicWorld on the internet, being established in 1999.

Anyway i'll leave my introduction there and will look forward to talking and getting to know everybody.

All the best
Anthony

Hi Anthony, welcome to TM.

I'm loving your videos, I've been trying to mix magic, music and dance but am no where near your standards. :D

It's not really an optical illusion - it just looks like one!
