Hi, I'm Christopher Jackson. I've come here to show you a few magic tricks that I've invented and write a blog or two helping you guys become better magicians. My favorite ttype of magic is Coin and Gimmick realated. I invent my own gimmicks to make advanced tricks usable for everyone and I enjoy helping other magicians. I am a firm believer in the Magician's Oath. Now...lets start the show.

Dear Christopher Jackson,
To hear you say that to you magic is just a way to get people to look at you almost sickens me! Sure magic does that, and I have always enjoyed the eyes on me too but magic is SOO much more than that.
Magic for me has become a life style.And it is about making people forget about thier problems. For that minite of the trick they forget about their kid with cancer, or thier money problems> At that moment you are the only thing that exists. And you should make them fill up with joy at that moment.
Each trick you perform should be like you are giving your audience a gift. Sure, it is also:
1. A way to get attention
2. Sometimes just a hobby
3. Entertainment
4. And somethimes it is even a job
But regardless, It should always be giving a gift. Make it for them, not for you. Once you do this I think your magic will be a lot more entertaining

Very good question but i feel that your motives are a bit off. Yes i do realize that some people view things differently, but all in all i feel that magic is for the audience. For the people that have lost belief that there is nothing but here and now. And if i can make even one person feel a little more acepted and a little less lost then i have done what i am here for. that is what magic is to me.
