We recently had the chance to connect with Reedgion and have shared our conversation below.
Good morning Reedgion, we’re so happy to have you here with us and we’d love to explore your story and how you think about life and legacy and so much more. So let’s start with a question we often ask: What are you chasing, and what would happen if you stopped?
I’m chasing alignment more than anything — the moment when preparation, purpose, and opportunity finally meet. I’m not chasing fame for the sake of being seen, or success just to prove a point. I’m chasing the freedom to live off my craft, to let my art speak before my past does, and to show that discipline and consistency can rewrite any narrative.
If I stopped, I don’t think everything would fall apart overnight — but I do think something inside me would go quiet. Magic has been my anchor through uncertainty, setbacks, and seasons where nothing made sense. Stopping wouldn’t just mean giving up on a goal; it would mean abandoning the one thing that’s always reminded me who I am and what I’m capable of becoming.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Reedgion, and I’m a close-up magician and performer based in Georgia. I specialize in intimate, real-time magic — the kind that happens in people’s hands, not on a stage — where the reaction is just as important as the trick itself. My work lives at the intersection of psychology, timing, and human connection.
What makes my journey different is the road I took to get here. Magic wasn’t just an art form for me; it became a grounding force during periods of uncertainty and rebuilding. I didn’t come up through traditional pipelines or viral shortcuts — I earned my way into rooms through consistency, courage, and showing up when it mattered. That path has led to performing for radio shows, live television, and well-known celebrity figures, but the real reward has been proving that discipline and belief can create opportunity from almost nothing.
Right now, I’m focused on expanding my platform, telling my story more intentionally, and continuing to put myself in rooms where preparation meets opportunity. I want people to know that what I do isn’t about illusion for illusion’s sake — it’s about reminding people, in a very real moment, that impossibility is often closer than it looks.
Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. Who were you before the world told you who you had to be?
Before labels, expectations, and limitations, I was someone who believed possibility was real. I was curious, observant, and drawn to moments that made people stop and feel something unexpected. Magic came into my life early not as an escape, but as a language — a way to communicate wonder when words weren’t enough.
As life unfolded, the world tried to narrow that version of me into something more predictable, more acceptable, more confined. But the truth is, the core never disappeared. I’m still that same person — just more disciplined, more intentional, and more aware of what it costs to protect your imagination. What I do now is less about performing tricks and more about reclaiming that original sense of belief, both for myself and for the people watching.
What did suffering teach you that success never could?
Suffering taught me patience — not the passive kind, but the disciplined kind that keeps you moving when there’s no applause, no validation, and no clear timeline. Success can make progress look effortless, but suffering forces you to confront who you are when nothing is working and quitting would be easier.
It also taught me restraint and awareness. Magic isn’t about forcing moments; it’s about timing, control, and understanding people. The harder seasons sharpened my ability to observe, adapt, and stay grounded under pressure. Those lessons shape how I perform, how I move through opportunities, and how I protect my integrity as things grow.
Success might open doors, but suffering teaches you how to walk through them without losing yourself.
Sure, so let’s go deeper into your values and how you think. Is the public version of you the real you?
The public version of me is real, but it’s incomplete. What people usually see is the confidence, the control, and the calm that comes with performing. What they don’t always see is the discipline, solitude, and self-examination behind it. Magic taught me early on that perception is powerful, but truth lives in the details.
Offstage, I’m more reflective than flashy. I value growth over attention and integrity over image. The public version is simply the polished edge of a much deeper process. Both are real — one just happens to be visible.
The real work happens where no one is watching, and that’s exactly where I live.
Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
I hope they say I was someone who always kept going and never gave up on his dreams — even when the odds weren’t in my favor. That’s when I used magic not just to entertain, but to create moments of belief for people who needed that belief as well. I want my story to reflect discipline over shortcuts, patience over noise, and character over image.
If there’s one thing I’d want remembered, it’s that I proved you don’t have to come from a perfect place to build something meaningful. You just have to stay committed long enough for the work to speak.
