You can also find me on Facebook by typing Mike Patrick magic. It&#8217;s pretty simple. <\/p>\n<p> I&#8217;ve been doing magic for about 12 years, and I&#8217;ve been a professional for the last eight. I specialize in doing full magic shows. I also do walk around magic for weddings and stuff, but most of what I do is doing shows for groups of as small as five, but up to, like, 30, 40, 50 people in their homes or apartments. A lot of apartments in NYC. But I do it for a group of their friends, and I do about an hours worth of magic. That&#8217;s a full magic show of the best stuff I&#8217;ve done. <\/p>\n<p> I&#8217;ve always liked magic. I remember watching David Copperfield TV specials when I was kid. I remember being really excited because Wayne Gretzky was going to be on it. He was on a cartoon that I used to like a lot. <\/p>\n<p> He borrowed Wayne Gretzky&#8217;s baseball card, the most valuable card in the world, and tore it in to tiny little pieces and put it back together, one piece at a time. And, whenever I thought about magic tricks, for the rest of my life, I always thought of that one time, when he took that baseball card, and just put it right back together. That was what was magic for me. I really like magic because, I feel as though if you create the best sequence of magic, people will see something they&#8217;ve never seen before. When they&#8217;re on the edge of their seat, and they think that everything is over, and I still do, like, three or four things in a row that completely fry them, I know that I will get them to the level where they just can&#8217;t handle it. They just completely fall apart, and, then, they experience magic. Because, that&#8217;s what it is. Magic is when nothing makes sense anymore, and everything seems perfect. It&#8217;s special effects in real life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Transcript Hi, I&#8217;m Mike Patrick from mikepatrickmagic.com.
