Edmonton, CaBorn in Pakistan, I do Cardistry and create flourishes.
•••
How did you first get started in cardistry?
I first got started in magic after I watched David Blaine's TV special "Real or Magic". After that I started practicing magic tricks and sleights. Later on I got more into the art of Cardistry and so started to practice flourishes. Now I just do Cardistry.
What is your creative process - how do you come up with new effects and ideas?
I think of different and unique ways to flourish with the cards and ways to make it look smooth and fluid.
How often do you practice - how do you keep your skills (and mind) sharp?
I have the deck in my hands pretty much the entire day. I take it every where I go and I try to practice whenever I can.
Which artists have inspired you the most in your work thus far?
Artists such as Andrei Jikh, Dan and Dave, and the Virts.
