Hi, folks. I'm a 'Yank', living in Oregon, on the west coast of CONUS (the CONtinental USa). I am retired, a USAF vet, a magic hobbyist, a former Photographer, former Paramedic, former AP (Air Policeman), former Locksmith. I live in Salem, which is the capital of the state of Oregon, but it is a small town for a capital city. Portland, Oregon is much larger. I have lived in many other places...larger, and smaller. I have been all over the USA, parts of Canada, Mexico, Taiwan, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and Taiwan. I haven't gotten to the UK, yet, but would like to someday. I dabble lightly in close up, escapes, and more, but specialize in Mentalism. I have had some genuine DeJevu experiences, Out Of Body Experiences, and more, which help me add to my patter and make my magic seem more mystical. I've been accurately predicting big news events-elections, celebrity deaths, impeachment trial outcomes, and such-for decades. I even made money in the 1987 stock market crash when pro investors lost their shirts. The secrets of Mentalism, combined with an understanding of human psychology, helps. It's not really magic, but I can often make it seem so. Now that I'm retired, I'm not as rich as I used to be, but I have some nice toys, and interesting contacts. I mostly spend my time cuddling my younger girlfriend...and studying magic; which helped me meet my current girlfriend.
