Personal Guidance
What is often missing in the sharing process is a rite of passage, moving experiences that give us our foundation of who we are. These emotionally charged life-changing transitions are affirmations that solidify our humanity and our core. When we acquire knowledge and wisdom, the change could be significant. A sense of dignity comes to us when we put forth great effort to earn something. Anyone who has struggled to reach something extraordinary knows this. Learning can be profound. Personal guidance may help make the difference, hence the workshops.

Master Courses
Metal Quirks
Metal Quirks is a coins-across routine using two silver and one odd coin. It opens by vanishing a coin from the spectator’s hand. Then, perform phase one with three iterations—interlude with a coin appearing in the person’s hand—and complete step two with three variations. Finally, present a 1 to 2 and 2 to 1 coin transposition between your and the spectator’s hands. Read More.
