Here's a nice little video I hope you all enjoy

Performing 'Twix' for a group of people

Brain Damage

This is one of my favourite stage tricks, I performed this in fact today, for an audience of around 500 people, I was quite nervous, but the crowds cheered me on, When I did it LIVE, I use hockey sticks, if there's a video of it I will try and track it down for you. Meanwhile, Enjoy this.

Q and A, with the help of Steven Blair

So, Its WriHen here, and This is just a simple post, giving the answers to some question asked by Steven Blair


Give us a quick intro (name age where you stay education statues ect )
       I'm Grant Macdonald (WriHen) and I'm17 years old, I stay in the village of Breasclete, on the Isle of Lewis, in Scotland, and I'm in my last year of secondary school

What do you like apart from magic (hanging with friends ect)
       Well apart from my magic, I play the bass guitar, and the uke, my main getaway that isn't cards is my music, some elektro, drum and bass, dubstep, plan b, all kinds a crap. On tuesday, friday, and sunday I go to local youth groups, an hang around and to friends there


What got you into magic 
       There's all ready a post on this, so check that post out, its started in primary 2 (when I was 6) when the school hired an entertainer to entertain us little kids, I loved the magic he performed wanted to know more


What is your favourite genre of Magic? 
       My favourite genre of magic would have to be card magic, simply because I'm so good at it, I tend not to do Fancy flourishes when doing tricks cos it does it look some what suspicious, I always have cards on me, there so easy to carry, use, and  you can do very powerful effects 


Biggest inspiration (magic friends and famous )
       Stephen Mulhern did that trick tv show and still does I think, he taught a few good trick, to start the ball rolling, I know of younger people who watch his show, after seeing how good I am

Following on from last question who is your favourite magician/flourisher of all time 
       Daniel Garcia is my favourite magician, the tricks he does are very good, and his explanations are good too, he adds in some humour to the explanations


What makes you different from other magicians
       I tend not to be Cliché, no rabbits, top hats, sawing a woman in half, having a wand, most people have seen all those tricks before, I like to give them something new, that I know they haven't seen before
   
Where do you see your self in 10 year magic wise 
       Hopefully still performing, not as a job but just to entertain

Any words of advice to people who want to get started in the art of magic 
       There are a few tricks on youtube, and moves, and once you know the basics you should be able to figure how most tricks work, also watch some of the TV programmes on magic and witness the potential of magic, because magic is all around us, any thing can be used as magic, grab hold of these moments and you'll earn a name for yourself

How I got into magic

Its a long story, so bear with me. I remember being 6 years old, and the school had organised a magician/clown to come and entertain us. I had already seen some magic before, but I cant really remember. This magician was wanting an audience member for a trick, I so wanted to take part, so I raised my hand and yelled "me! pick me!", right enough he picked me for the trick, I was so happy, he showed me an empty hat, then he pulled silk after silk after silk, out from the hat, Such an easy trick , but to a bunch of children it was very amazing, most of my friends just accepted the entertainment, but I had to know how to do this amazing feat of magic was done, I went home and told my mum that this man had done something impossible, she told me that it was just a trick, and that anyone could do it, that meant I could do it. I bought a few magic sets in the following years, and learned tricks that were good enough for me only being around 8/9, and I performed for my first crowed of about 6 people at my uncles birthday, of course I was only performing to the other kids, and they loved it and wanted to see more. I showed them a few tricks from my Marvin Magic sets, and watching there reactions was amazing.

Then I left magic and discarded it for a few years, and in 2009 I met this man who new a few tricks, and once again I was intrigued and wanted to know more, I searched around the internet and found a few magic sites, starting off with ellusionist. I looked at some of the magic that was available and bought a few decks of bicycle rider back playing cards, and the ultragaff set, I searched youtube for magic tutorials and found this channel where I could learn pretty good tricks, I found a few channels which taught card tricks, my prime focus. After I had learned the basic moves I could watch a performance and figure out how the trick worked. After seeing lots of youtube magic channels, I decided that I wanted in on this, so I created my WriHen account and subscribed to the magicians who's tricks I liked, I started  recording myself doing card tricks and uploaded them to youyube, I improved over time and I started to earn subscribers who like my magic after a year on youtube I had around 58 subscribers, now only 7 months on, the number of my subscribers has jumped to 317, that's the count today, this means that I am starting to get noticed by other youtube magicians and my friends at school. I am WriHen and that is my story, on how I got into magic, If it weren't for my mum, the internet, and youtube, I definitely would not be as good as I am today.

WriHen's favourite bits

Here is what I think are my favourite bits, some clips don't show a bit of magic, but they are clips I love, and If you want to see the individual trick then click the red annotation that appears for each clip, and you will be redirected to that video. May I suggest; moving pips, lamonts aces, flipping jokers, the square circle, and the royal scam. If you want more then check out my channel: WriHen (YouTube)
