¿Who the bleep is PaulAlbertM.?

PaulAlbertM is actually a case of stolen identity, at least partial. 

It is neither my real name nor my artist name. 

Maybe one day I will reveal…

I am an old (fashioned) magician who actually stopped performing about twenty years ago. Since I had a full time job in a bank I never considered myself as a professional yet I had more (well) paid gigs than most so called pros. 

My main domain was children’s entertainment although I also worked as an assistant/roadie for a top mentalist for about ten years. 

When it got more of an obligation than an hobby, due to working for artist agencies, I quit. 

After two decades of inactivity I rediscovered Magic because of an accident where one of my hands needed therapy. Doctors told me it would never get better. I started manipulating playing cards and rubber bands…successfully. 

This almost inevitably led me to attending a Magic convention again, discovering the modern forms of gaffed cards and electronic gimmicks, marked cards and more.Wow. Also very disappointing. 

A combination of mentalism, card effects that require no manipulative skills, and lots of fantasy led me to some easy to do knock’em down routines  that I never ever saw performed or described anywhere before. 

Some of them ask for a marked deck.                      

Since the routine requires spreading the cards on the table while the spectators handle them I searched for a back design that was easy to read very quickly from an arm’s length.  

They also needed the order in a particularly stack to be “embodied “ in the back design. 

No single dealer or website could help me out. Then it became increasingly challenging. 

One day, by accident (which doesn’t exist) I stood in front of the shrine of Santiago, where I got the “aha-erlebnis ”.  

The first result is Santiago’s Secrets’ “Free Choice”. 

As I told you before, I am old fashioned which means that I will never expose any secrets on Social Media or ask for funding publicly such as Kickstarter, where any curious individuals can hunt for Magic secrets. I therefore have my cards printed in very limited edition.

Hoping that you can keep a secret as well.I will create a private WhatsApp group for users rather than a Facebook page that can be pirated.
