When I started magic about three years ago, because of a tv show I watched called Road Tricks by Adam Trent. The show sparked my interest in magic because of the reactions of the people to the magic. After that I learned that my Dad used to do magic. Then I got my first magic set form a local toy store, so I started learning about magic. When my Dad saw I had enough interest in magic he told me about the Society of American Magicians. Then we went to our first meeting together about 2 years ago.
From what I remember my first magic trick was the spike through coin. Some of my favorite tricks to do now are Cups and Balls, Sponges, Ropes, and Hot Rods. I love close-up and parlor magic. My favorite magicians are Penn and Teller. This summer I was able to participate in Tannen’s Magic Camp online. In Tannen’s they had lectures, workshops, and shows. Some of my favorite magicians from it were Teller, Micheal Carbonaro, David Blane, and David Copperfield.
One of the workshops was about the business in magic, which helped me because I am starting to do kid shows. To better myself as a magician I have a YouTube channel. I practice a routine or trick, then I record and post the videos. This helps me practice performing in front of a camera. On S.A.M Facebook and iTricks Magic News some of my videos have been shown on. I am enjoying being part of the Mile High Magicians’, which includes lots of experienced magicians to help me grow as a magician.
