The Illuminated Showman: Nate Staniforth - Magician
http://theilluminatedshowman.blogspot.com/2013/11/nate-staniforth-magician.html
Wednesday, 6 November 2013. Nate Staniforth - Magician. Last night as I couldn't sleep I remembered I had been pointed towards a link to a clip about Magician Nate Staniforth by Brian Daly. SO I checked it out. And it was really great. His straight forward and articulate style captured me. He pulls no punches. He does not soften his magic by making silly jokes. Unapolagettically he sells mystery. Then I watched this. It is the teaser trailer for a web series Nate is doing. 23 November 2013 at 23:24.

Friday, 16 August 2013. Commentary on Lesson 68 - Failure. Character is created by encountering and overcoming failure.". After a comment from a fellow Craft man I thought I would divulge some deeper thoughts on failure and the importance of overcoming it. (Flanagan, this one is for you.).
