Karate
Bio: Musician and magician , as well as graphic
artist...Have been performing street and impromptu magic for
three years...37 years old from Aberdeen , WA
Description of your act: Specializing in cardism
and street magic , but branching out into mentalism , escapism
, and some of the more traditional close-up/stage routines like
linking rings , cups and balls , coins , handkerchiefs and ropes
, as well as attempting larger stage effects , like the old
sawing a woman in half ! I like to put some comedy into my routine
, and 'occasionally' mess a trick up 'on purpose' for a laugh...I
enjoy performing for kids and adults both , but I prefer a small
audience in a bar or restaurant setting...I'm just now starting
to develop my own tricks and effects , and plan to eventually
come up with a better stage name / personna so as to facilitate
a bigger show !
...My
biggest point of pride is the fact that when performing cardism
, I use only standard , straight-from-the-box playing cards
that are not altered or gimmicked in any way shape or form...Any
spectator can provide me with their own cards and I can duplicate
most all of my effects right then and there !
