I think its more than 1 year that I started doing magic. And of course I love it.
I learned my first trick from my friend Shiva[ messodu! he is not a mess but was a mess secy. yeah.. on second and third thoughts he is messy. ] He taught me the first trick by the name double card monte[ You hand two aces and they turn into kings and that too in their hands ]. I love doing it.
After lot of practice and performance now that I am good at it. My magic is close up kind. Not a stage performance. Like its one on one. Small group!
After a lot of learning and reading I stumble upon an article about Paul Harris![ Sir would be an appropriate salutation ] After reading and looking at his magic my view on magic totally changed. It is an art form which I believed. But after his interviews I have to agree that its the highest form of art.
Whenever we are encountered with some art piece like a painting, generally speaking we are associated with some emotion - good or bad. But when you see a magic art piece you are in your natural state of mind. Stripped of all your emotions and you are left with moment of astonishment.
Astonishment - the natural state of your mind. When you take birth, everything in the new world we enter seems astonishing. Thats what he[ Paul Harris - the whacky n close up kinda guy ] n me call the natural state of mind.
The same natural state of mind intrigues me to go on n on with moi mogic![ ooh.. i am not a bongoli! ]
