Mind SNAP!
Who is
Jonathan Brown
Who is
anyone but the culmination of their past experiences. So I suppose
I should start from the beginning.
I was born
on 11 February 1961 to a great Mum & Dad. Those already
interested will know that makes me an Aquarian and as we are
currently in the Age of Aquarius
it looks like this is my time (with a few million others).
My interest
in magic started at a really early age so please don't ask me to
quantify when. My dad had also been interested in magic since his
early years so I suppose this makes me a second generation magician.
This helped me focus my interest, one because the magic was available
but secondly my dad would point me in the right directions. Like
all true magicians he would never just reveal the secrets, he made
me work at it and gave me books to read that he had read when he
started.
I am shy by
nature so do find it hard doing something that focuses attention
to me. Performances have on the whole been to children and
schools. Ironically when I was a kid my stage performances
were mainly to adults. As such I can not say I have ever been a
professional magician but as my magic has never been for just for
friends and family I don't believe I'm what most people would
imagine as an amateur.
For as long
as I have been interested in magic I have been creative. I can't
help think, "this is great but what if you could also do
that". I have developed magic in the past albeit for
personal use and as such now forgotten.
What has
turned things around in my magic life is meeting Eugene
Matthias and The
Magic Club of Great Britain. I don't want to put words into
his mouth but I think he must have noticed the cogs moving between
my ears and encouraged me to develop the ideas that eventually
became the Mind SNAP! envelope and following concepts.
Thanks for
taking the time to view my page on the Mind SNAP! website why not
leave some feedback.
