People I generally like- Pete Firman

I wanted to write a post about why I like Pete Firman, because he's pretty awesome.

Firstly, he is a skilled magician but also an innovative one. He does a lot of old school tricks, but he presents them in quite different ways. He likes to explain the tricks, without revealing them, especially looking a little at their history, like the bullet catch. He tries to be different and it works. He doesn't do just cheap tricks and tries to push himself.


He is also funny. He mixes magic and comedy brilliantly, using his tricks to amuse. He also has funnier jokes than quite a few comedians.


He's also unpretentious, trying to get away from the clichés that dominate the magic community. He has in the past made a point of talking about avoiding the pretentiousness of some magicians and admiring those that avoid.


Also, he has brilliant hair. It is rather impressive as to how thick it is.


So there are some of the reasons why I think Pete is made of win.
