Magic for children
This is how my magic developed as a teenager, doing magic to entertain the youngsters around me. Many years later I still love seeing the amazement in childrens' eyes when 'magic' happens. A powerful moment! I am very aware that I am sometimes the first magician they will ever see, so I want them to have a fabulous time with a combination of silly, clumsy magic (for a good laugh), and real, jaw-dropping unforgettable magic (for good memories).
And I know well that the adults love it too...

And 40 years later, still the same enthusiasm as when I was a kid!
A very young me performing one of my first tricks, over 40 years ago
My 'Credentials': a letter unearthed by my mum, to the 3 Wise Men (remember, I'm Spanish!) asking for a Borras Magic Set. I must have been 7 or 8 years old.
My big presentation to a larger public. Should read 'Magician Bastian', as Luis is my real name and I do not use it for my art and performance. Hey ho!
Cut and restored rope, one of my favourite tricks!
