Entry 1: The beginning

" Hello and welcome to Michael Weiss productions blog, here I will discuss all sorts of topics in magic, ranging from close up, stage, bizarre, etc. Atop of this I will discuss my opinions, my views in performing magic and the ideas that help improve ones ability to become more successful and more confident."
" The beginning:: We were all there, starting new in an unfamiliar and vast world of playing cards, silks and inspiration. For me, growing up wasn't a walk in the park, I was always fascinated by grand illusions and that magic touch that made it seem impossible. My overall first experience started in elementary school,at the age of about 5 or 6, and witnessing what would become of me today. I was called upon the stage by the magician, and performed a sponge ball routine that involved the basic balls across and the multiplying balls. Well I happen to be the one where I held my hands together and 6 to 8 sponge balls popped out. I can not even fathom the sheer amazement that overwhelmed me, and how it has impacted my career. So what experiences as a kid, have help motivate yourself to be involved with magic, and where would you have been today if that occurrence had never happened?"
