Illusionist?

Why?

Well, simply because of what I like to do, and what I like to do is tell lies. See, a writer, a painter, an actor, a magician, anybody in a creative field is a liar. So to speak.

First and foremost, it's entertainment, so keep that in mind.

A painter uses a canvas and colors to draw you in his world and see through his eyes. An actor/actress pretends to be someone else for a false story. A writer is similar to an actor/actress, only they sit down and conjur up a false world. They are the boss of it all when an actor/actress is not. A Magician uses technology and cleverness to trick your eye and mind into thinking whatever they want you to think (kinda like a politician).

Now sometimes it's just goofiness and thus provided to make you smile and get your mind to take it easy for just a little bit. But a lot of the times they all do it to tell you something important, a truth.

I'm not going to call myself a painter because I can't paint to save my life. I'm not going to call myself an actress because I don't have the guts. And I'm not going to call myself a writer because it doesn't fit with what I want to do.

I'm more of an illusionist or a magician (though one in training). I want to make you believe in what I'm telling you. I not only want to entertain you but I also want to make you think, want to make you see what I see, and what I don't see. I want you to believe that the worlds I create and share with you can be real.

And the reason I pick the title of Illusionist is because a really good one will make you believe in magic, even though you know it's not real.

I'm a Novice Illusionist because I'm not there yet. But I hope to get there someday.
