Hey shawn,

I was wondering what are you favourite tricks right now?

also what were your favourite tricks when you started in magic?

what inspires your magic?

thanks

Hi Adam,

Right now I love doing my Ultimate Invisible Deck, Extended Stay and a new theatrical card effect similar to my Shape of my Heart which I have titled "Unwritten".
When I first started doing magic I did mainly stage and props. I had a candle thru the arm (still have it too, made by my Father), tip over box and Fantasio vanishing candle.
I loved doing shows and I soon had a a pretty big collection of cool magic. I do recall when I was in about 14 I went on a school trip across the country and got to meet Micky Hades. I went to his magic shop in the basement of his house and bought my first Hades Improved Finger Chopper ... I carried that little gem everywhere I went for years. In fact if you ever see me at a corporate walk-around type affair, I'll bet it's still in my left breast pocket ...

Inspiration comes from everywhere and most often when I am not expecting it. I wish I had a more complex answer but I hope never learn so much that my eyes are closed to the possibilities that await me..
