Hi Theory11,
I am performing magic at a downtown event. Here is the link to the event. The website promoting the event is doing a 10 question interview with me.
These answers are the 2nd draft ones and are not the final answers. Feel free to comment about my answers, if i can word anything better, any grammar mistakes, things that i should add or take away, or even things you would say? I look forward to your comments.
AND REMEMBER: This interview is going to be read by laymen.. so think from their point of view. If i mentioned triumph.. it would mean absolutely nothing to them.
1. How long have you been a magician?
It all started when my mom bought me a magic book when I was 13. I would take that book everywhere and read it well over 100 times. Ever since I got the book, 8 years ago, I have been honing and perfecting the skills I will be putting on display at 'Take a Bite' Glens Falls.
2. What is your favorite trick to do?
I have a person select any card from the deck. Then have them place their card back into the deck. I take the deck and shuffle the cards face up and face down, so the deck is a complete mess, with face up and face down cards mixed together. I then do a magical move and the entire deck corrects itself and is facing one way, except for the selected card.
3. Who is your favorite magician?
There are many great magicians who inspire me but my favorite magic act would have to be Penn and Teller. They got their start doing street magic at festivals just like 'Take-A-Bite' Glens Falls.
4. What is the most challenging trick you have ever done?
Each different magic effect has its own challenges. One my most memorable moments was when I was at University. I was in the student center and had 30-40 people surrounding me. I had someone select any card he wanted. I then took that card and ripped a corner off the playing card. I took the corner piece and slowly rubbed it in my hands until the corner piece completely disappeared. The room exploded with excitement and everyone was wondering where the piece went. I looked at the person who selected the card and asked him to check his pockets. The room got dead silent as he reached in his pockets and pulled out the corner piece of the card. When he lined up the pieces they matched perfectly, the room exploded again and everyone told me to do the trick on them. I ended up making cards jump into two more people pockets that night.
5. Do you know when you are performing at ‘Take a Bite’ in Glens Falls?
I will be performing for the entirety of the event. Come out and see me every Wednesday, starting July 18th – August 29th.
6. When did you try your first magic trick?
When I was a kid I used to perform lots of tricks for my family, but my family didn’t start taking my magic seriously, until I was 17 years old. During my first year of college is when I really started to delve into magic and also started to perform for complete strangers. I would walk around the computer lab for hours performing for students. I created a name for myself around campus and I would get routinely stopped and asked to show them some magic.
7. What attracted you to this type of entertainment?
I love seeing the look of astonishment on people’s faces after I perform a miracle right in front of their eyes. Plus it’s also a great way to meet new people.
8. How many tricks do you know?
The amount of magic effects that a person’s knows is limited only by their imagination. Let’s just say, well over the 100s.
9. Are you practicing any new tricks, if so what are they?
I know a lot of magic with cards but I’m expanding out to ropes, coins, mind reading and even the Rubik’s Cube.
10. What is the greatest magic trick ever successfully completed?
The greatest magic effect that a magician can do is a trick that makes you feel like you have witnessed the impossible. Come to ‘Take-A-Bite’ Glens Falls to enjoy great food, listen to live entertainment and witness the impossible.
