When did you fall in love with magic?
My wife, Abigail, asked this question of me with a group of friends when we were sitting at a table in our home here in Vegas. What we discovered is that many of us have the same story about how magic came into our lives, and also tragically, how Magic sometimes is abandoned only to be rediscovered late in life. Let me explain.
Many magicians discover magic early in life. A ball and vase, a Svengali deck, or a beginner’s book that opens the door to wonder. When we are young, we dream of becoming a magician. But, then something strange happens. Many of us lose the magic because we have been convinced that we need a “real job” to pay the bills instead of following our passion.
Did “Real Life” Get in the Way of Your Passion of Magic?
When we grow up, life gets a little bit too real, with school, careers, family, money, and responsibilities. Your magic stepped quietly into the background. But magic is patient…very patient.
You worked hard your whole life. Magic was always around, but never in the forefront. There were always more important things to do. But now, many years later, you’ve decided to come back to your magic.
Now It is Time for You and Your Magic!
Magic is not only about collecting tricks. It is about your personal expression, and sharing the magic you love with people that love you back. You may want to share your magic with friends and family, perhaps local charities, or maybe even dream of performing events and parties, traveling the world and sharing magic.
This Dream Can Now Be Your Reality
I have created a Mentorship Program for magicians entering “act three” of life who are ready to return to magic with purpose. I will work with you personally and also bring together a small circle of like-minded magicians who are rebooting their magic journey. Together, we explore how to take our life’s experience and pour that into the magic we love. We will learn ways to take all that magic and life experience we’ve collected, and actually put it into a show that we can share with our friends, family, and communities.
The program includes private mentorship with me, a small group that meets periodically on Zoom, and a private Facebook community where mentorship students can share ideas, performances, and feedback in a supportive environment. If magic has called you back and you are ready to take the next step, this program was created for you. To find out more, take a look here – https://shop.magicalwisdom.com/events
