Selene the Magician

Magician

Early Life

Selene grew up in New Orleans, on the streets. At one point she fled to Las Vegas.

In Vegas, she actively attempted to work for a Magician, any Magician to do anything.  She spent every spare moment she could learning all that she could.  She finally worked her way into kids events, birthday parties, bachelor parties, street magician.  While doing that, she figured out, finally, how to control the illusions.  She started using them in her shows.  She got better gigs. She took on the professional name "Selene".

She got attacked one night, managed to flee, but realized she needed some way to discourage the night life antics she only chose to participate in when she wanted to.  She signed into a Dojo and studied hard.  She got as far as her brown belt.

She finally got a spot on a stage in an off strip joint two nights a week.  She worked on tricks, she analyzed other Magician tricks, she talked to people who constructed tricks.  She wormed her way to all the knowledge she could get.  She was being shown a small piece of the blueprints for a trick one of the older mechanical wizards had been working on, when she discovered her ability to figure out "any" magic trick.  She managed to bite her tongue and keep quiet.  The old man never knew she had seen through every one of his designs. That started a new era for her.  Working Magician, studying magic and all she could learn about those. 

Returning Home

She decided to move home to Louisiana.  New Orleans would let her function as a magician.  She chose to help the Homeless charities with her first show, both to showcase her skills for the elite in the city and to pay back to the system that allowed her to survive childhood. She is looking for a new long term venue while learning the adult side of New Orleans. She spends a lot of time in the French Quarter night life.
