About
Magician Steve Fearson
Entering
magic in the early 90's at the age of 21 Steve Fearson won
nearly a dozen first place magic awards during his short performing
career. He is one of the only magicians to ever win both the
IBM
and the SAM
competitions, receiving first place in both.
He
was also awarded the coveted Silver Medal from the SAM. The
Silver Medal has only been awarded a few times in the history
of the contest. The Gold medal has never been awarded to anyone.
Soon,
Steve parlayed his contest
wins into his own magic special. In the mid 90's Steve
was the star of the very first television special devoted
solely to a close up performer. His one hour long special
titled "Mr. Creator" was filmed and televised by
the NHK network, the largest television network in Japan.
This led to many more performances and television appearances.
Within a few years though, Steve decided to retire from the
performing scene.
Today, Steve Fearson is recognized worldwide by his peers
as one of the most creative minds in magic. Several of his
marketed inventions have become quite popular, including Fearson's
Floating Cigarette which is considered by many to be a
modern day classic. You may have seen David Blaine float a
leaf on television using Steve's method.
Steve is also the creator of Fearson's
Fantastic Floatation which was the first close-up self
levitation on the magic market and spawned a ton of imitators.
It is still a popular item among professionals, having been
used on television by numerous performers like the Amazing
Johnathan.
The creation Steve is best known for recently is The Laser,
as performed by David
Copperfield in his live tour and on his most recent special.
In this illusion, David's body is cut in two in full view
with no cover whatsoever!
Steve
also created the very first pay for download magic shop, DownloadMagic.
Today DownloadMagic.com is a great success and is probably
the only magic website you'll find that's been mentioned on
the Howard Stern show and sports an endorsement from David
Copperfield!
Most recently Steve launched another online magic shop, eMagic
Supply. eMagic Supply offers new magic and mentalism for
all skill levels from various magical artists.
