My name is Joel Mawhinney, though I go by the name Joel M. You might know me from TikTok as @joelmagician. I'm a 23-year-old from Northern Ireland, who enjoys reading, playing the piano and eating as many burrito bowls as I can, but the most important thing to know about me is...

Magic is my life. The world of a magician is an unusual one. Between the first and last pages of this little volume you will find stories, confessions and secrets that I hope will convince you that anything is possible.

If you can keep a secret, I'll even share magic tricks you can perform yourself. Inside, you'll learn how to read minds, predict the future, make cards levitate and jewellery vanish. I'll teach you how to perform to an audience and amaze your family and friends.

I'll also let you in on the magic of TikTok and reveal how I went viral and gainedmillions of followers. But, above all, I will show you that whatever happens in life, it'salways possible to... Make Your Own Magic.
