Influencing a new magician: a neat story

[Justin.Morris]

Just wanted to share a neat story.
I recently was at a family event (my wife's side), and a lady (a second cousin once removed) came up to me and recalled how I had done some magic for the kids at the last family reunion about four years ago.
Apparently her grandson was one of those kids and was so inspired that he started learning magic. Now he has recently put on a couple of $25 shows!
You never know who is in your audience. Perhaps the next Copperfield.(... Or Harry Potter -same difference, they all do the same tricks anyway)

Nice Justin, I get to see this first hand as well because I am a teacher. I have two former students that now do balloon twisting for money and they are only in 6th and 7th grade and I have another child or does magic and is just starting to charge for shows. She also does missionary work / magic shows for her church. It makes you feel good to know that you've rubbed off on someone else and created a positive in their life.

I started doing magic because of a magician I saw once. 4 years since then and still going strong!
