Orlando Magician Misunderstood

Don't tell me how to live my life! Photographer: unknown  |  Event: Tampa Bay Woman of the Year I'm known to be and consider myself a pretty calm person. It takes quite a lot to get me riled up and angry, hostile, or defensive. The story I'm about to share would make someone think otherwise. I share this story because, one, in hindsight, it's a little funny. Two, I learned something from this experience. Finally, I think it addresses a global/cultural problem. The problem is trust. We are losing it for each other very fast. Working as a magician for two decades has birthed a precise way of working in me. I feel that after this much time of doing something, a person is somewhat of an expert at that thing. I am in no way saying that there is no room for learning. The older I get, the more I try to learn. There are two ways that I present a magical experience. I perform on a stage or do close-up magic in a crowd. This story will focus on an occasion when I did a close-

Illusion of Choice: A Magical Experience with Kardenni

Image
**This blog is simply my interpretation of choice, not fact or exact science. I'm observing and reporting my perspective.** All the pain, sweat, tears and years of work can't stop me from doing something when it's worth it. That is what the project has been to me. Over the last three years, it's been the joy of my life and a pain in my ass. Illusion of Choice is a concept show for a live magic performance. A fun engaging experience meant to provoke the viewers subconscious and consider the weight a simple choice like buying vegetables or a gallon of ice cream. Why are you making this choice and are you really making it? All this blended into an interactive magic experience. It's a magic play, I call a magical ( Instead of a musical ). A story interpreted through drama and magic. Think about the last choice you made, which was to read this. Why did you do it? Why did someone else not read this? Which in turn raises millions of other questions. As more scienti

Hard work has been a mantra of mine all my life. People have told me to work smart not hard. I tried that, and found things got half done. Once I worked hard and smart the results I was looking for came my way much faster. The video I'm sharing is a result of hard and smart work and a continuation of my meme series from 2016, Truth, Freedom, Individuality and Human. If you haven't had a chance to see those, check my Youtube channel . While you're there please remember to subscribe, comment and share. My acting coach Yvonne Suhor ask me all the time to do magic for her. I'm a firm believer that magic must be presented at the right time. So it's rare that she sees me do anything. I finally found the right time to do something for her and we were able to get a crew together and record it. The result of an evening with Yvonne at her studio Art's Sake in Orlando is the following video- Action. Enjoy Magic! Kardenni Orlando Magician www.Kardenni.c

Another Kind of Magic

Those that follow me closely know my love and passion for acting and film. Over the past 10 years I've actively studied the ins and outs of film making, from acting to producing, editing and even directing. In that time period I have found many close similarities that film and magic share. The main thing being story telling. If you're a magician and not just a person doing a trick then you will agree with me on this topic. If you're telling a story rather than just doing the trick you will achieve a much stronger connection to your audience. I was once asked why I act. Acting not only allows me to express an idea I'm passionate about but also makes me the ultimate magician that people are much quicker to believe and accept than a conventional sleight of hand illusion magician. With the advancement of technology and vast abundance and availability to information people are quick to discredit magic as fake. Uh duh! We all know that Superman can't fly and isn
