I had been aware of "magic" for as long as everyone does (almost birth) but some people get to see it more than others.
It was not until i was 13 at my grandparents house that my uncle found a copy of "fearless" by David Blaine and i popped it in.
I was astounded by this man's great talent. I thought "here and there" was real magic and i didn't even care how it was done. Just kidding, actually i picked up a deck of cards and executed my first double lift. "Was it really that simple" i asked myself. After watching the trick a couple of more times I tried it on my mom. "Wow" she said in delight thinking to herself that with my very hard effort and enthusiastic effort that this is something that will change my life.
A week later I'm at my house sitting on the computer for hours (holding my black tiger deck) at a time looking at Ellusionist being completely amazed at what moves Brad Christian pulled off. (in fact one of the first things that i saw was his gambling trailer)
From then on I have been practicing and trying to perform just as much now as i did then over 3 years ago.
The reason i wrote this was not just to tell you my story. But i was writing this to show everyone the reason we even started magic. I can say this for everyone that the first magic trick we saw was the most spectacular thing we had ever experienced. That is why we joined in on this Art we call Magic. To many of us now it is just slight of hand, we are the tricksters. I sometimes for et why I do what I do now. Its because I saw something truly amazing and i wanted to let other people experience what i saw (the impossible)
So as i perform a double life, Sybil, or even the pass, I try to remind myself. This person is seeing this for the first time and its the most incredible thing they have ever seen, just as saw 3 years ago.
Don't worry about the moves so much, and focus on the impossible.
