The Prediction

Greetings Fellow Seeker of Magical Knowledge!

After spending years selling magic to beginners and experts alike, I've come to an important conclusion. I am a performer first, a teacher second, and a merchant as a distant third.

Over time, I've become somewhat concerned about the state of our art. There is a flood of information and mis-information out there easily within reach of anyone with a web browser. The problem is, even when there is technical accuracy (which most often is missing) there is a real lack of depth. We've become a skimming culture that wants only the bare bones rather than the meat of the thing. Any monkey can perform a 'trick'. It is the job of a conjurer to make magic out of it.

After giving this serious consideration, I've decided that the best way to help the art of magic which I so passionately love is the start back at the beginning. I want to teach those who are really interested in our art the subtle points which make a trick become magical.

I will share my secrets with those who want to learn regardless of skill level. I hope, in time, to have accumulated an abundance of training materials for all skill levels, but I plan to start with beginners. It is there, with those first tasting magic as a hobby that I can do the most good.

If you only ever learn one trick, you can call yourself a magician with one important condition. You must learn that one trick very well.

I'll help you!

Best Wishes,
The Wiz
