•••
How did you first get started in magic?
It was when I was in Cub Scouts. I was about five or six, and my pack leader decided to have a talent show with just magic (apparently one of her hobbies was magic) I went to a magic shop with my mom and got the penetration frame.
Which artists have inspired you the most in your work thus far?
Shin Lim, Rick Lax, and Chris Ballinger.
What is your creative process - how do you come up with new effects and ideas?
It usually comes to me when I'm practicing the tricks I own/messing around with tricks. I rarely come up with the effect before the method. The method pops into my head, and I look at ways to utilize it.
