Hey everybody!
I'm interested in why magic is important to you.
What got you started, what has it taught you and what keeps you interested?
Please feel free to share your stories.
Thanks!
Magic is important to me because it has been a huge part of my life since 1989 when I was 12 years old when my Grandma taught me my very first one which was the classic 21 card trick. I was amazed by it, begged her to teach me, and once she did I was hooked on learning magic ever since.
I used it to help cope with being bullied, it helped me escape and took me to another place or sometimes I'd bring a deck of cards to school and do a few tricks and for those few minutes while performing I felt accepted.
With that being said, magic has taught me over the years the value of astonishment.
It's a healing force that can make someone having a bad day forget their problems if only for a moment and put a smile upon their face and wonderment in their heart.
Grandma passed away 7 years after teaching me that first trick that has sparked a life long dedication to this art. And although it has been 25 years since that day, I still perform a version of the 21 card trick in honor of her and to remind me of the wonder I felt that day because the #1 thing magic has taught me is that if I am preforming for an entire audience or for a single spectator that it's not me vs them, instead it's both of us on a journey discovering the wonders of magic together, and not apart.
