What I Like Most About Magic

Someone recently asked me what I really enjoy about magic. This question made me think. Most of the time, we go about our daily routines without giving them much thought. We’re all too busy just getting on with life.

Life on Hold

In the past few months, many of us have had our lives put on hold. As a magician, I’m used to performing every day. If I’m not working at an event, I’m preparing for one, winding down from one, or practicing.

The Magic of Tricks

I love all kinds of magic – from cards to silks, and coins to Rubik’s Cubes. Speaking of Rubik’s Cubes, I’m working on an amazing routine. I hope to share it with you in a future post. It even blows me away, and I know how it’s done!

It’s Not Just About the Tricks

What I really love about magic is the chance to meet new people. I enjoy socializing and, if I’m lucky, making new friends along the way. Too many magicians just show a few tricks and leave with your money. I never want to be that magician.

Performing for You

I love performing, but what I love most is performing for people. That’s what I miss during lockdown – being able to get out there, meet new people, and put smiles on their faces.

Laughter, Smiles, and Fun

I love seeing people laugh, smile, or even poke fun at me when things go wrong. (Which they do from time to time – though hopefully only when you’re not looking!) Magic should tell a story, not just be tricks. Anyone can do tricks, but a fun-filled experience is what makes magic special.

You’re the Magic

So there you have it. I love the tricks, the performing, and the smiles along the way. But what I miss most is you – the people who are kind enough to watch, laugh, and hopefully be amazed with me.

I hope we meet again soon.

Until next time, keep safe and well!
