By wanting it. It may sound like a simple answer but its not. In theory, its a long stort yell but practically its even longer. To understand the philosophy of this art is not possible in a few sentences. It chose me, not did I, started out as a hobby and it grew. I havent quit it a single day since we met.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Why did you become a magician \/ mentalist ?”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

It is the closest thing that makes me feel satisfied. Illusion is a very complex art, you can improve yourself in many areas all the time.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Can I be an illusionist ?”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

If you work a lot and like it, yes but if you really wanted it, you would be asking me another question.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Is there a school to be an illusionist ?”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Not in Turkey, but there are in some countries. However I do give private lessons and special courses teaching the art of magic. You can find details in my website. Actually there is even a one lesson course that you finish learning doing 10 impressive tricks with everyday items !<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Do you have supernatural powers or is everything an illusion ?”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

If I had supernatural powers, I would not be a part of this nature.But I can tell you this; half of what I do is real (things you dont know) and half of it is illusion. I will not tell what is in what half.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Does animals get hurt in your shows ?”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Absolutely not ! Do i look cruel ? As a person who abides by ethics of this profession, one of my golden rules is never harming animals or any living creature. Actually any illusion i perform with a human or animal is designed spesificly for their comfort and safety.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Can you tell me the secret to X trick ?”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

It will not make you happy to know, trust me.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”You are not going to reveal any secrets ?”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Secret will not impress anyone, it dissapoints. To have art evolve, knowledge must be passed on with wisdom. This means ‘how did you do that’, ‘can you teach me something’, ‘how does this work’ questions will not be answered. To get an answer, question needs to be asked in the right time, by the right person with the right intentions.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Do you have a role model ?”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

I believe in uniqueness in art so no examples for me but this does not mean i dont like anyone.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”How often do you use technology ?”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

We are not scientists but we do use technology and science a lot. Most of the time magic pioneers new tech but products of our mind are majority.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”How much work does this art take per day from you?”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

More you work, better you get. I improve my self all the time, not just phisically but also mentally.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Does illusion need any special talent?”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

This is a combination of many talents, everyone has different results. Magic has different branches in it, and you find your self on the way.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”What would you suggest to those who want to start this art ?”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Get my book and dvd, start working. If you want to take it to next level, our shop sihirci.com<\/a> has many more resources. You can also take private lessons from me. Just start…<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”What do you think about this arts level in Turkey ?”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

There are many professional magicians out there but artistically there is very little. There is also very few who are technically good. Again same with show qualities. I think this is more because of our country, unfortunately we are not a country that thrives in art.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Does people make interesting wishes to you ?”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Yes, especially kids. Even tough I can not make them happen, its nice to hear peoples dreams. What they actually want is just to share.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Do you plan to continue this art forever ?”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

I like many things but magic, I havent quit for a single day so yes, i will. I have other things that i want to do artistically but magic will be there.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Whats your most impressive trick ?”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

To impress myself, thats really hard.<\/p>\n
