Gary Meyer, a passionate magician since childhood, rediscovered his love for magic at 40 while planning his daughter's birthday. After performing at the party, he rejoined the Oakland Magic Circle, where he now plays a crucial role in recruiting and organizing events. Meyer's journey highlights magic as more than just tricks; he emphasizes its importance in developing presence, storytelling skills, and self-confidence. The Oakland Magic Circle, founded in 1925, celebrates its 100th anniversary this year, marking a significant legacy in the magic community.
"When I think about magic, it is not just tricks. It is learning how to have a presence, how to speak, and showmanship. It's storytelling."
"Even if somebody doesn't continue with magic beyond their teen years, for example, it will have contributed to who they are."
