Photo by Michael Esser that I literally feel I am able to force people to name the card I want them to. There is no explanation on how I do it, it just happens more than it doesn’t! Is magic real, what is magic and are you a magician or an illusionist? To me, I know magic is real! Magic to me isn’t something you witness with your eyes, but something you feel inside. Magic is everywhere for those with eyes to know what to look for. I am a magician, where illusionists use big props to music routines destined to go a specific route. My style is more fluid, freestyles, made up on the spot with ordinary objects. Do you do stage shows? For the past year I’ve been doing a 1.5 hour headlining adult stage show in Channelside at Stageworks Theatre called Magic Redefined every three months. It’s full of comedy and incredible magic, stories and inspiration, and a lot of adult humor! Catch my next show at Stageworks January 7th, 2018. Who's your favorite kind of audience? Kids are wonderful with reactions, elders are always so grateful, but adults are much more engaging and I personally believe need magic in their lives the most!
