So,
I get asked a lot, what my name means. Well, firstly, it is pronounced “uh-leh-thee-uh.” It’s Greek, though I am not Greek, and it means “Truth.”
A huge stereotype of magic is that it is deceiving. Yeah, magic tricks are deceiving, much like puzzles or optical illusions. That’s what magic tricks are.
But I don’t do any much magic tricks. I like to keep it real and do things I don’t have to openly lie about.
And here is the thing a lot of people don’t realize: Magic is deceptive, because of how truthful it is.
It’s pure stuff man. The secret is not some scientific advancement we are keeping from the world so we can live more conveniently. It’s based on something simple, and then just taken in all kinds of directions with an open mind. It is thinking WITHOUT limits or common knowledge boundaries.
But our society has become increasingly scientific in how it thinks, so of course, magic works because it does not go by the book. No rules, no methods. It can ONLY be found by exploring.
Anyway, a cool tidbit of info that not a lot of people realize about MY magic is that it’s all based on true stories from my life. Every bit of it was molded from something that REALLY happened. And being that I think movies based on true stories are almost always better, I think it’s cool that I get to have that same characteristic in my show. :]
Check out my show when you get a chance and you can hear some truly bewildering and TRUE stories. Weird stuff, forreals.
