Card mechanic and conjurer posting regular demos and tutorials. I also discuss anything related to the deceptive arts, whether sleight-of-hand or stage illusions, scams or psychological trickery.

On the more whimsical evenings, expect me to share whatever is bizarre, grotesque, strange, uncanny, surreal, esoteric or arcane.

Lifelong environmentalist, anti-racist and antifascist. No pasarán! ✊🏼

And the current government under Starmer has already shown its willingness to ram through anti-democratic legislation that criminalises dissent. That theoretical dystopian future has already arrived.
