About
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!
