The wearing of surgical gloves is a a bit of a give away-but not on the DNA front though. It's not a good idea to try this at your local shops-especially the chippy where one's fingers can so easily get burnt, or the flower shop where you could end up losing your powers. It's like doing magic for the family-they don't appreciate the effort. I have been working on my double lift.

The wearing of make-up is essential; just remember what happened in the first TV presidential debate between Kennedy and Nixon. Although Nixon may have won the radio debate he certainly lost the TV one and one reason for this is that he refused to wear make-up. Due to compulsory mask wearing the extent of make-up required is not as much as would otherwise be so there are no excuses really. Are you in desparate need of a Magic Convention?

The original illusion was created by of Illusion Ken Whittaker and licensed to multiple builders. Many of these “original” builders are still building the illusion today. Because Ken Whittaker passed away, the illusion was exposed publicly, over 40 years have passed since the original conception, and because Ken did not directly specify who should maintain the rights, the illusion is now considered to be in the public domain. However, due to the extreme difficulty and danger involved in building and performing this illusion, using one of the “original” builders of the illusion is highly recommended. While the method and standard Impaled illusion may be considered public domain, certain designs for this illusion are still Impaled considered protected.

My journey in magic started really late for me and I only got interested in magic around 6 years ago. A late bloomer so they say. I learnt a ton of magic to begin with and like all of you was sucked into the world of amazement. For me though, the best part was being able to share a small miracle with the people around me. It was not a power trip, more a sense that I was able to present a little wonder, so if I ever could not connect with another person, id have the perfect ice breaker. This led me down the path of meeting amazing magicians and of course falling in love with the bizarre and fun mind of Kieron Johnson. We became good friends pretty quickly bang sharpie I frightened some of and from there on my world changed. the biggest names in magic. This led to an amazing partnership with Saturn magic.
