"The highest art in any medium can only emerge from a spiritual background. This applies particularly to the art of magic". -- S.H. Sharpe
Dear Jeff,Eugene, and Tobias,
The last 3 months were the most lucrative in my life as a performing mystery entertainer. I joined the Dutch version of PHENOMENON (THE NEXT URI GELLER) and I won the series! In my performances I tried to mix true magic/mystery with performance mentalism. Every time I tried to give something more to the audience than just nicely presented effects. I always put hidden, mostly spiritual, empowering messages in my performances. I believe to create true mystery one should have one hand in the 'real' world and the other in the 'other' world. I am inspired by my little life experience, travels to India and other strange places, knowledge from books but also by my great teachers Jeff McBride and Eugene Burger. Especially their vision to put MEANING!!!! in your magic/mentalism. Thank you Jeff for the advice and inspiration you gave me for this show. I feel proud to be your student.
I highly recommend everybody to visit the MAGIC AND MEANING in Las Vegas and other of their classes and don't forget to believe in your self, follow your hearth and a passion. If you want to start now, read magic and meaning by Eugene Burger and Robert Neale.
