That's why I have them as openers in my show all the time.

uh no that's way different from what you do right yeah the mentalism is like it takes a special type of person to be able to do it right yeah you have to be like really good at analyzing any situation at all times you kind of have to be able to read somebody tell if they're lying or if they're um hesitant about something and then they use all that to their advantage

yeah it's really fascinating it is you carved your own lane in magic right like your own style it's a yeah yeah um it started at close-up just regular close-up magic he's like hey pick a card and think of a card so that's like a very traditional style of close-up magic uh something that i found to be really fascinating and mainly i only did that because it was the cheapest form of magic just a deck of cards uh

But I've always loved film ever since I was nine.

I watched Lord of the Rings, and that blew my mind.

And I was like, I want to do that.

That's what I want to do in the future.

I want to do something cool and epic.

And so then eventually I started learning magic when I was 16.

I thought it would get me a girlfriend, so that's why I did it.

And then I...

decided to like kind of create a routine that would be like that like kind of that same feeling like after watching lord of the rings you watch something really epic and so i was like okay you need music and then you need to be able to perform but like instead of to the people what if you perform to the camera and only to the camera and then you treat the camera as if it's a person

I don't know if I did it purposefully.

I didn't really think that in my head.

I just kind of did it.

And all of a sudden, it became this new thing that people were like, whoa, I never thought of it.

You could perform it as if you're treating it like a person and you're looking at the camera like, yes, you are the spectator.

And...

The Trilight from Therasage is no joke.

All of a sudden it became great for performing it in a huge venue.
