– Becoming a Movie Star
When
I was nine years old I wanted to be one of the greatest magicians
that ever lived. I would purchase magic trick supplies with almost
every penny I had. When my family asked what I wanted for a present,
of course, it was always a magic trick of some sort. I had hundreds
if not thousands of dollars in magic supplies at one point. But when
I was nine I think it was my peak of my infatuation with magic. I
talked my parents into letting me borrow their video camera and
making a video of myself doing all kinds of neat-o tricks. After I
performed my show I was kind enough to go through each any every
trick and show the viewers how I performed the trick. If someone
wasn’t there to teach people how to perform magic tricks, then
there would be no magic. At least that’s what I thought at the
time. Later of course I learned that a magician never tells. My
parents still talk about that video. They say it’s the last proof
of my innocent years. It shows who I was before I changed a couple
of years later. That video is of the child every parent dreams their
child would be. I wish I had never changed, even though deep down
inside I know I’m still that kid.
