I look at tricks that already exist, and then I ask myself. "What can this do, How else can this be done, and what happens if I do this?" Or I'll be watching tv, reading, working on a video, playing a game, or standing in the shower, and an idea will just kind of pop in there.

By studying the world around me, and being passionate in more than just magic. I utilize the skills I have learned and experiences in my life to develop new tricks and ideas.

I always wanted to be a magician, as long as I can remember. Back when I was young, my family and I would watch the TV magic specials. I would watch them and wish I could do what they do.

Growing up in a small town of 365 people, there isn't many options one can have when it comes to carrier choices. So I studied art, and some music. I thought that art art was going to be what I did for a living (Painting, drawing..etc) So that was where my general focus was. When I was 16, my brother told me about a guy on TV who did some crazy stuff. Now my brother is they type of person who watches shows like jackass, viva la bam ...etc So I assumed it was another person who did that stuff. I looked the person up, and this person just so happened to be a magician. Criss Angel. I hate to say it but he was my window into becoming a magician. On October 31st, 2006 I saw His Halloween special, right before I went to school. In this Episode, Criss taught the Audience how to vanish a tooth pic. I didn't have anything in my house at the time to do the trick, but I didn't forget it. I went off to school thinking about the trick. In my fourth period class (Biology) We where doing some experiment using tooth pics. I don't remember what due to my mind being on the trick XD. After class I set the trick up and than ran after my friends. When I caught up to them, I showed them the trick. They freaked out, and I giggled like a school girl. I had no idea that the trick would of worked. Ever since then, I have been learning, practicing, performing, and creating. (there's more, but this is the short version)

-Learn as much as you can. Not only in magic, but everything in general. The more you know, the more creative you will be with your magic. -Perform as much as you can. -Rejection is apart of life. Learn to deal with it effectively. -You will always be told how to do your job, by people who don't know how to do it. So always take what others say with a grain of salt. But don't ignore what they say. Sometimes they can have some helpful tips. -Have other interests other than magic. -Be mindful of other magicians, especially when they are performing. If they are performing, you are not performing. You'll be surprised how often this happens. When a magician is performing another magician will think its OK for them to show some tricks... Its not. Most likely the magician my be paid to be there.
