What made Olwethu become a magician? (in his own words):

“When I was in primary school, we used to have magicians visiting our school for magic shows. I was so fascinated about magic and how it was being done. Not long after that, the College of Magic visited our community, for a big magic show called the “Khayelitsha Magic Festival”, this was in 2004. I remember the tickets cost R5 and I attended the show. I could not close my mouth after watching that show.

I saw young magicians performing magic, I saw illusions… it was a magical day for me, seeing how beautiful magic performed live was. I was blown away and thought that the magic was real. I went home and told my parents about the show and that I wanted to become a magician. Luckily, there was a student from the College of Magic staying around my place and I could get the information I needed for joining.”
