00:00Hello guys, Normando the Magician is here, I'm here at the Golf News right now, doing

00:08some magic to all the stuff at the Golf News.

00:11I have a full deck of cards right here, there's no way I can influence you, tell us which

00:16card you want to choose.

00:17Ace of Diamonds.

00:18Ace of Diamonds.

00:19You want to stick with that or you want to change it?

00:22I want to stick with that.

00:23Ok, what if I told you, before I keep this right here, I flip one card, now every single

00:29card is going to be facing up, except for one.

00:34Ace of Diamonds.

00:35Ace of Diamonds.

00:36I'm going to ask you one last question, would you like to change that or you want to stick

00:39with that?

00:40I'll change it.

00:41Oh wow.

00:42There you go.

00:43Ace of Spades.

00:44Ace of Spades.

00:45You sure?

00:46Yeah.

00:47Did I influence you to tell her, Ace of Spades?

00:48Watch this guys.

00:49I'm going to open this one.

00:50Every single card are facing up, except for one card right here, that's your card, Ace

01:12of Spades.

01:13This is very cool, I have to say.

01:14Thank you very much.

01:15Thanks a lot.

01:16Magic, I think, the reason why is because it makes people happy, using my magic.

01:27I just love making people happy, using deck of cards, using my sleight of hands, every

01:32time I see the reaction to all the people, I do magic, it pays a lot.

01:36I started at 14 years old, there's one guy at the restaurant, he showed me two balls,

01:41he kept one ball in my hand and then one ball in his hand.

01:46When I opened my hand, the ball vanished and it appeared on his hand and I was like, oh

01:50my god, I want to become a magician.

01:52Actually he's not a magician at all, just messing up with me, he's like, because I was

01:55a kid and then I'm just alone.

01:57My mom ordering food and then I'm alone on the table, so I started on that, buying my

02:02own cards, I create my own magic.

02:04No one actually teach me magic, I don't have money to afford to pay them to teach me magic.

02:09The only thing I have is fashion, I have like cards like this, go on the table, trying to

02:14figure out what I'm going to do, learn something, sometimes I watch Britain's Got Talent or

02:18America's Got Talent, try to post start, post start all what they're doing, get some ideas

02:24from them and I create my own, most of my magic is created by myself.

02:28Actually my parents doesn't allow me to do magic because my parents want me to be in

02:32the politics because they're in the politics, they want me to be in their fat also.

02:36I started in Dubai, I work in one of the hotel in Dubai, I started as a waiter, I promoted

02:41I feel like I'm not happy, so I take my cards again, do magic everywhere, even I'm not get

02:46paid, just going all the streets of Dubai, making some people happy.

02:49When I met Mo, which is my manager, I decided to leave my full time job and go to my real

02:54love, which is magic.

02:56And now it's my profession, so now I'm performing in all the biggest restaurants, biggest bars,

03:01well known people, quite a rollercoaster life.

03:03I have no idea how many magic I have, I have a lot of magic.

03:07Every time I do events, I see people, which is I do magic people already, so I need to

03:11show them different magic.

03:13So yeah, I'm creating my magic every single day, practicing every single day, sometimes

03:17five hours a day, sometimes six hours a day.

03:20Every time we go out, even we're eating in the restaurants, I'm still looking at my cards,

03:25practicing.

03:26If I hold my cards, I feel so happy, I feel so relaxed.

03:28I'm trying to get all this vision of magician, so I want to be a close magician, sleight

03:33of hands, which is I'm doing right now, mentalist as well.

03:35Normally I do mentalist every time I have a show, big shows, but I'm planning one day

03:39maybe I can walk through the water of Dubai fountain, outside the Burj Khalifa, walking,

03:44going out of the Burj Khalifa, if you have passion with something, do whatever you want,

03:48do what makes you happy.

03:49If you're happy with doing what you want, you will achieve all what you want.

03:53I want you to tell me to stop and look at you.
