Which artists have inspired you the most in your work thus far?
I learned my first tricks from Jay Sankey, but my current favorite magician has to be Chris Ramsay and his way of performing.
How often do you practice - how do you keep your skills (and mind) sharp?
Whenever I'm watching tv or get bored, I grab a deck of cards and start practising all my sleights and flourishes. I perform tricks and test new stuff whenever I can, at school, at family parties, friends of my brothers coming over, even with the teachers!
What vision do you see for the future of cardistry?
A small street magician known in the neighbourhood. Performing on small scaled events and in the streets.
