I'm a magician! 🤩 My thoughts, feelings, and beliefs create my reality. Every thought I have sends energy out into the Universe. That's real magic! 🔮 I'm embracing positive thinking, the power of manifestation, and developing a strong mindset. 💪 🌈

Life is like a shoe, it's never complete without someone to step into it. 🧦 Whether it's a new step in adventure or a journey of self-discovery, don't be afraid to take a leap of faith. 🤩 Let your passions be the sole of your life and explore life to the fullest! 🌍

"Seeing is believing", but some things are not what they appear to be. Illusion is the art of deception, creating something which is not real but looks like it. Tricking the mind. Get ready to witness the impossible first-hand!

Bravo. As a person that speaks with youths about treating each other equally and helping to prevent bullying, I commend you. I am glad that I ran into this image. Arnold told an internet troll, “As st**id and evil as this comment is, I'm not going to delete it or ban you (yet) because it's a teachable moment. You have two possible paths ahead. Right now, I guarantee you that these athletes have more courage, compassion, brains, skill — actually more of every positive human quality than you. So take their path -- you could learn from them, and try to challenge yourself, to give back, to add something from the world. Or you can stay on your path, and keep being a sad, pitiful, jealous internet troll who adds nothing to the world but mocks anyone who does out of small-minded jealousy. I know what you really want is attention, so let me be clear: if you choose to keep going this way, no one will ever remember you”

"You asked me to enter, but then you made me crawl." Though it may be difficult, don't let the hurt stop you from moving on! Life is too short to dwell on what you don't have. Believe in yourself and keep striving for greatness. 💪

The best part about being a magician is seeing the reaction of kids when performing close-up magic! 🤩 Their amazement and excitement are totally priceless! 🤩 Watching them have such a great time and smile is the best reward! 🤩 ❤️👍🎩🐇🐰🃏

"Heal the boy and the man will appear."

It's time to stop living in the shadows and step into the light of your true potential! ⚡️

It's a challenge to be a man in today's society. But, it's also a beautiful opportunity to discover your inner strength and purpose. Let go of the 'Peter Pan' syndrome and embrace the power of manhood. 💪

It's time to show up, take responsibility and be confident in who you are. Believe in yourself and know that you are more than enough. 🙏

Life is about growth and learning. Let go of fear and trust that you are capable of reaching your goals. 🚀

Pluto is in Aquarius. The time has come for a major shift in our society—the kind of shift that only happens every 250 years. The US is 246 years old, and today, March 23rd, Pluto enters Aquarius, a sign of consciousness and revolution. This is significant because Pluto is associated with death, rebirth, and unveiling the darkness.

For the next two and a half months, until June 11th, Pluto will be in Aquarius, bringing about a significant change. After this, it will go retrograde until 2024, when it will remain direct for the next 20 years. Pluto takes 248 years to orbit the sun.

This is a pivotal moment in our history, when we will bring to light outdated structures and hierarchies that no longer match our collective evolution. It's time to welcome in a new beginning. 💫

Thank You, "The Star News" newspaper, for the interview I just found from last year:

National City library commemorated the final day children could sign up for this year’s summer reading program on July 30 with a raffle, free books, activities and the highlight of the day: a magic show performed by Rafael the Magician.

Inside, the entire back wall of the community room was lined with tables laid out with children’s books, free to attendees. Board books like Dragons are Real and Baby Touch and Feel were stacked at one end of the lineup for parents to read with toddlers and preschoolers, alongside emerging reader favorites like Junie B. Jones, a first step toward chapter books. Books in Spanish were interspersed with those in English, familiar titles like Eric Carle’s “La Oruga Muy Hambrienta”/”The Very Hungry Caterpillar” while older readers could pick up a copy of “Displaced,” “Resurrection Girls” or Percy Jackson’s “Greek Heroes.”

Gesturing over to the wall of books, Rafael the Magician said his own career as a performer, which has taken him to hundreds of schools, fairs and events all began at the public library where he grew up in East Los Angeles.
“It all started with a book on magic, checked out from the library. I was hooked. When I was eight years old, I saw David Copperfield and that was it, I had to be a magician,” the performer said.

Throughout his performance, the magician encouraged all the children to pursue books that interest them and develop a love of reading.

Books and magic “made my life unique” he said, and although he has a wide repertoire of performances, his favorite is still performing for children.

The magician switched back and forth between English and Spanish throughout the performance, choosing several young volunteers to help out with different tricks as well as a few parents to participate as part of the show.

I pictured a rainbow
You held it in your hands
I had flashes
But you saw the plan
I wandered out in the world for years
While you just stayed in your room
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon!

BRONCO. Backstage with the band. Got to talk with Lupe Esparza, the lead vocalist, idol, and legend. The concert was amazing and magicial. Sometimes my life is blessed and surreal. Thank you for the invite to my cousins, Mike & Sergio, who help produce their tour.

Y ahora bien
Déjame volver contigo
Si fallé, perdón te pido
Déjame amarte otra vez
Otra vez
Déjame sentirte mía
En tu amor me va la vida
Tómala que es para ti

“BEAUTY WILL SAVE THE WORLD” - DOSTOEVSKY

A weird, naive quotation that you can easily dismiss as delusional. But it's complicated and truthful. For Dostoevsky, "beauty" wasn't about looks or aesthetics. Beauty is what inspires us, brings out the best, what is true and good, what connects us to each other. The Art that glues us together and inspires us.

Alexander Solzhenitsyn in his 1970 Nobel Prize acceptance speech, said:

"One day Dostoevsky threw out the enigmatic remark: “Beauty will save the world”. What sort of statement is that? For a long time I considered it mere words. How could that be possible? When in bloodthirsty history did beauty ever save anyone from anything? Ennobled, uplifted, yes – but whom has it saved?

There is, however, a certain peculiarity in the essence of beauty, a peculiarity in the status of art: namely, the convincingness of a true work of art is completely irrefutable, and it forces even an opposing heart to surrender.

But those works of art which have scooped up the truth and presented it to us as a living force – they take hold of us, compel us, and nobody ever, not even in ages to come, will appear to refute them.

So perhaps that ancient trinity of Truth, Goodness and Beauty is not simply an empty, faded formula as we thought in the days of our self-confident, materialistic youth? If the tops of these three trees converge, as the scholars maintained, but the too blatant, too direct stems of Truth and Goodness are crushed, cut down, not allowed through – then perhaps the fantastic, unpredictable, unexpected stems of Beauty will push through and soar TO THAT VERY SAME PLACE, and in so doing will fulfil the work of all three?

In that case Dostoevsky’s remark, “Beauty will save the world”, was not a careless phrase but a prophecy? After all HE was granted to see much, a man of fantastic illumination.

And in that case art, literature might really be able to help the world today?

It is the small insight which, over the years, I have succeeded in gaining into this matter that I shall attempt to lay before you here today."

-Alexander Solzhenitsyn in his 1970 Nobel Prize acceptance speech

I’m a INFP according to the Myers-Briggs Personality test. This explains a lot. The INFP personality type is often described as an "idealist" or "mediator" personality. People with this kind of personality tend to be introverted, idealistic, creative, and driven by high values.

INFPs also have strong interests in making the world a better place. In addition to wanting to gain a greater understanding of themselves and how they fit into the world, they are also interested in how they can best help others. People with this personality type spend a lot of time exploring their own purpose in life and thinking about how they can use their skills and talents to best serve humanity.

What is Magic? When you fall in love, hear that song on the radio that brings a tear to your eye. The first "Magic" I experienced was seeing snow fall when I was a child. I ended my tour this year by making it snow in front of hundreds of children in Central Washington, so they could experience that magic moment in my life. #entertainer #magicofrafael #magicians #illusionists #illusion #thesecret #positivevibes #inspirationalmessage #positive #positivemessage #positivemessages #positivemessageoftheday #positivequotes #magicofrafael
