I like simple and clean magic. My goal is try to make magic look and feel like the look of Apple Computers, clean, efficient, and look great. That is one way I can describe the way I want my magic to look. For me I feel this way the audience does not get any extra unnecessary noise during the performance. I try to cut out any extra things that really has no theatrical or performance meaning. I remember the first time I saw Martin Lewis perform I thought wow, there is a show that is clean, entertaining, and effective. I also saw a lecture years ago by John Lovick and what I saw of his performance he also had this simple and clean look. Their magic is strong and their performances flawless. Not only these, but both of these magicians have high entertainment value.  Their characters well developed, I love the Handsome Jack character that John Lovick performs as, both these guys have a great style of performing and both I admire greatly. Since I have seen both of these magicians at a convention in Vancouver in the 1990’s I have strived to push my magic performance in a direction that is similar to them but yet my own. The main thing I learned as I mentioned over and over is the simpleness and the cleanness of their magic, staging and performance. This works for me, but may not work for others. The point of today’s blog post is find some style that you want and work to create that. For me its this clean and simpleness. Like I mentioned my idea is the stylish simpleness of Apple computers is what I want to portray in my magic, but then again I like to connect magic to many things outside of magic. Well that’s all of my thoughts today poured out and may make no sense. Something to think about.
