Where am I?
1/11/08 0 CommentsIt's an interesting title isn't it?
Many people are asking where I am from. Where is Metro Manila and what is PH.
Do not worry. Metro Manila is from Philippines. Philippines is located in South East Asia. It is above Australia and near Hong Kong. Metro Manila is the center city. So all the traffic goes here.
I love doing magic and I do perform on the streets. Of course, I am familiar with the history and most of the aspects that belong with it. I happen to see Criss back on his Mindfreak live show in New York, by then I knew he would make it big.
Upon seeing Mindfreak in television, I was amazed by his presentation although heavily criticized by my peers. I think what he does is helping the community go strong...as Derren Brown and Mr. Blaine has been doing. Keep it up!

Equals

I know this is a Criss Angel fan site and I just want to show some of my books related to magic. You know the other one as well, it's just that my kind of style fits to the person on the rightmost book. Still, it was Criss who brought me back to magic.

Inspirations
1/7/08 0 CommentsI have to admit that Criss has inspired me to do magic again. You should be aware that I am a magic hobbyist who practices the craft for years. For many reasons, I did not went to push my professional magic career (I think I was really bad at that time. I think I am still) so I just went on with my normal busy worklife.
Criss is a breath of fresh air to the industry. A lot of upcoming talents are noticable now because of the appreciation in our craft. I have to admit that he also receives a lot of criticism from his peers in the way he performs magic. I believe it really depends on style and performance, not on how it is done. I am also an admirer of Criss' consultants for his show like Banachek and Luke Jermay.
By the way, I am far away from the US and have been visiting there frequently (went to Detroit last year) Best of luck to you guys.
