i am samurai.
the word Samurai:
literally, 'to serve.'
I serve you endless possibilities:
an Origami sword morphs into a pen,
a word unsaid is foretold in an ink blot,
a card is slashed to pieces in one move
I serve as entertainment
at street festivals with the sun as my spotlight,
at black-tie galas, Christmas gatherings, weddings and reunions,
from uncharted coffeehouses to art museums,
from the corner of a jazz club to the center of a stage.
In Samurai spirit, magic is my sword,
an extension of my soul,
a Way toward fearlessness, devotion,
humility, compassion,
a finger pointing toward the heavens itself.
In return, magic has served me for over half a lifetime,
with experiences to live for and lessons to live by.
It's earned me a living, won me an award, taken me far--
from Cesar's Palace in Las Vegas to Pike Place Market in Seattle,
from the Green Mill in Chicago to a TV show in the Philippines.
It's served my poetry by giving it a chance to be heard.
I've been nothing more than its humble retainer,
eager to serve you someday with the wonders it leaves behind.
Until then, I invite you to send booking inquiries, sincere words or auspicious wisdom my way.
Peacefully,
Antino Art
