I have a video of me performing my first ever “magic show” when I was around 7 years old but the tricks were too hard to do so I gave up. Then it really started to pick up when I was 13 and it was my first time visiting the local magic shop in Tucson Arizona called Williams Magic Shop, where their motto was “the secret isn’t told until the trick is sold.” After I saw them float a dollar bill, I just “had” to spend that $60 to figure out how it was done and so I purchased my first ITR. Ever since then I was hooked and I loved to perform and have something unique that made me stand out. From age 15-18 I was already working in restaurants around town doing close up magic and staying pretty active in Tucson’s SAM and SYM clubs.
My favorite type of magic to perform is comedy magic on stage or in a parlor setting. Getting to energize an entire crowd and engage with them while bringing laughter and joy is something I live for. Some of my favorite tricks are the ones when I make the audience think I messed up but the revelation in the end is that I knew exactly what I was doing all along.
I have always been the ambitious type, trying to go above and beyond the norm, so while I am in the midst of producing a new magic show that was delayed to to the virus (coloradostarsofmagic.com), one of my biggest accomplishments (in my mind) was producing the InShane Magic show, where at the end of the show, I performed the floating rose illusion and proposed.
