Andy Duroe : Although I've always been interested in magic, I only got seriously into it about 18 months ago. My main passion is developing new tricks and ideas, I love the simple but effective close up tricks most. Once you get into the logic of magic it is never ending, if I see a video on the Internet sometimes I cant sleep until I have figured out how it works.

I think the main secret to good magic is 'practice practice', take the chance to show your magic every opportunity you get. Sure you will make a few mistakes, but just make a joke about then and move on. Magic can be a lot of things but most of all I think it should be fun; I always try to avoid taking it too seriously. I started doing, my first show's this year, I think presentation and having fun is some times more important then trying to trick people. My main tactic is to monkey around for a while and loosen my audience up a bit and then hit them with a stunner. . . . . . . . click to see Andy's work
