[conjure_pitch]

Name: Trent Halliwell

Location: Edson Alberta, Canada
Birth-date:August 21st, 1990

First Book: Art of Astonishment
Genre of Magic: Mostly cards, a tiny bit of coins

Hobbies: Music (Both listening and playing), Magic, Video games (not so much lately but I used to be pretty into them)

History: Born in whitecourt AB, Moved to Edson when I was three. I watched a David Blaine Street Magic special on TV when I was younger and saw him do a card through window that blew me away. I had always wanted something I could carry in my pocket, pull out in front of people and blow thier minds with. Card magic discovered me and I found my answer.

Intrigued to see what others will put.

 

[Color Changer]

Name: Michael Wiggins

Location: Houstin Texas, USA. Don't ask to meet me if you live near me...I'm not in the mood to meet strangers.

Birth Date: May 20, 1992

Magic Experience: About 9 Months now, but because I had a summer to practice amoung little else to do, I've acquired the knowledge and experience of somebody whose been in it about a year.

Performing Experience: I started performing in late june, but because of lacking a good place to perform, I have about half as much experience as I should. But school just started and my high school is a good environment to perform in, so that should change.

First Magic Book: Expert at the Card Table.

Genre of Magic: Almost only cards, but when see/learn a cool coin effect I'll go for it. Pk falls under mentalism I suppose, so all the work I do with my ET is mentalism, but I have yet to take that out in public. I'm still building up my confidence in the device's consistency.

Hobbies: Basketball, tennis, magic of course, some video games, like Gears of War, Halo, supersmash brothers, Conker's bad fur day, a really ecclectic assortment. Hanging out with friends, listening to music, I like to produce videos of any kind, but magic is often my only worthwhile thing to put on film, though it's even rare that I feel one effect is ready to be put into film....anyway, I really just do what I'm in the mood for at the time, regardless of what it is...take walks, juggle, ride my skateboard even though I can't do any tricks haha, I like to walk around on my roof, because It gives me a cool perspective of my neighborhood, since my house is pretty tall, Play with my cats and my python...Occasionally I read, if a book interests me, like Slaughterhouse 5, and John Grisham novels...this n' that.


That's me, any questions, feel free to ask, but I doubt anybody is interested.


~michael, Miguel, whatever name seems fitting at the time.
