Love and magic have a great deal in common. They enrich the soul, delight the heart, and they both take practice.
My life is a constant fight for balance.
The marriage and the magic seem to both want to take number one importance in our lives. Obviously one SHOULD be first but some days that doesn't always happen. And I guess that's okay. It's better than it was. My life honestly used to be like The Prestige. First off, if you haven't seen that amazing movie... go watch it. Right now. Anyways, the wife says this quote and honestly I have never felt more connected to a movie ever, "Maybe today you're more in love with magic. I like being able to tell the difference, it makes the days it is true mean something."
Magic has a funny way of not just being a job, it's a passion. And those people that it touches aren't like most people. Magic literally has a part of their heart that sometimes is too hard to give away.
At first, this wasn't something that I grasped. I didn't realize that the boy I wanted to date that would become the man I married didn't live like most, didn't leave work at work, didn't have two separate lives. Brandon is magic. He lives it, he breathes it and I've learned to do the same. It's part of everything we do. Somehow magic is snuck into every conversation. There are hints of it in our decorating. It's in our DNA. It will never not be there.
People often ask if magic is what brought us together. No definitely not, I HATED magic. A magician from my childhood was responsible for that. But something about Brandon was different. His magic intrigued me as much as he did and I realized that you can't have one without the other. He did multiple tricks on our first date and from there it was history. I wanted to be apart of all of his life but getting into the magic part took some convincing, there were other assistants in the way at first.
Magic hasn't always been good to me, it's broken my heart more times than I can count. At one point Brandon and I had broken up and magic was the only thing that held us together and that was one of the hardest points in my life. At that point I honestly don't know what I held on more for but I'm glad I did. It's caused strain on our relationship and our marriage. It's not an easy life style to live but luckily Brandon and I honestly never grow tired of each other so we thrive on being together all the time. I hear so many couples ask how we can work together and I can't explain it, it just works. We were meant for this life, we were meant for each other. And while somedays I ask for a break from talking about magic it never really does cease, I'm bound to bring up something about it.
Nothing thrills me more than performing hand in hand with the love of my life. Yes I'm married to magic, as a person and as a career. To me Brandon will always be the most magical thing in my life.

"To love a person is to see all of their magic, and to remind them of it when they have forgotten."
