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

00:16card you want to choose.

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.
