We’re looking forward to introducing you to Confetti Eddie. Check out our conversation below.
Hi Confetti , thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to share your story, experiences and insights with our readers. Let’s jump right in with an interesting one: What is something outside of work that is bringing you joy lately?
Outside of my. work the thing that. brings me. joy. is performing magic for audiences. I look forward to show nights. It’s great to meet new people and share. a fun experience together.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Confetti Eddie I am a magician and an artist. I like to combine my talents. I am also a confetti connoisseur, and paper prestidigitator.
Appreciate your sharing that. Let’s talk about your life, growing up and some of topics and learnings around that. Who were you before the world told you who you had to be?
I was an artist for many years. I owned an art gallery in an arts neighborhood. I regularly booked art shows and various performances. I enjoyed helping creatives bring their vision to life with video and lighting. I spent many years behind the scenes working various events. During all those years I carried an interest in magic it would manifest in my work from time to time. In 2012 I went to Burning Man. I had a great experience and a desire to return to magic and to become a magician.
Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
There have been. times where it seems like progress is slow going. I learned to spend those slow periods by refining my work and process.
So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. Whose ideas do you rely on most that aren’t your own?
I am a student at Jeff McBride’s Magic and Mystery School in Las Vegas, Jeff is my magic mentor and teacher. We meet once a month over Zoom and he helps me with my magic. We have a great student teacher relationship. I make sure to practice and implement the lessons I learn during our classroom sessions.
Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. If you knew you had 10 years left, what would you stop doing immediately?
If I knew I only had 10 years left I would stop being so timid and just take bigger chances sooner.
