A quiz to update the ever dusty blog :)

A little questionaire on magic :)
For all magicians out there.

1) What got you started into magic?
A simple card switch I saw on TV.
It really amazed me as a kid and
I want to bring that feeling once again to my audiences :)

2) How many hours do you practice a day?
I used to practice up to 8 hours daily :) but now,cannot already.

3) How long have you been performing?
hmmm..professionally perhaps, 3 months?
I was in magic for a year though.

4) What's the last trick you saw that fooled the crap out of you?
Daniel Madison's Breach.Go check it out!

5) What brand of playing cards do you like?
Tally Ho and Bicycle Masters.

6) What is your favourite effect?
hmm..nt really any fav ones.anything that amazes is a good effect :)

I'm still struggling with that :(

Close-up. Mostly cards and a little of coins.

people wouldnt try and find out whats behind the scenes.

What I want is to be amazed and not know how the trick is done.

Yeah.A card sandwich routine :)
