808: Daniel Garcia - Ideas Unlimited

Daniel Garcia is a highly respected magic creator and consultant. But he is an awesome performer in his own right, too! Daniel helps create magic for David Blaine, Dynamo, Cyril Takayama, and Dynamo, (just to name a few) for their performances on stage and screen and online, too.

Daniel talks this week about some of the celebrated magicians with whom he has worked, as well as how he comes up with his creative ideas. He has a system for developing these ideas that he shares in this episode. He also surrounds himself with other creative types like Blake Vogt, Alex Rangel, Brent Braun, and others who are titans of trickery in their own right.

In 2023 we suffered the loss of many friends who have passed away, but whom are not forgotten. Perhaps as we grow older, we are more aware of those who pass. But this last year saw the passing of almost twice as many as were listed in the magic obituaries of 2022.

Although the list below is not exhaustive, it does reflect the names of many well-known (and some lesser known) magicians, spouses, assistants and magic aficionados who passed on in 2023. Some may not be as well-known to you, but they were my personal friends (hey, it is my blog!). If you are unfamiliar with any of these names, then it would behoove you to do a little online search of what these people have contributed to our craft. If you have someone you think was overlooked, then please post the name in the comments below on this blog.

Those whose names are highlighted with a “hot link” were featured or interviewed here on The Magic Word Podcast. It was not my original intent when I began this journey to chronicle the voices before they left us, but I am so thankful that I did sit down with many of these friends for lively, and sometimes intimate, conversations. You can click on their name to revisit and listen to their voices again.

OC band: Shot dead

(Different format from my other intros bc it's five people lol. Also no read more cut because it's giving me issues)

They're based in Anaheim CA, they live together in a small house

They met as kids/young teens and consider eachother family

They're basically a polycule tbh

All are conversational in ASL (except Foxe and Aliyah who are fluent)

Their time period and even ages aren't solidly set! This is I like to put them in lots of AUs lol. But their basic facts and age differences between the group are set!

Members:

Danny #📷

Daniel Matthew George

24, Pisces, 6', cis man, bisexual demiromantic

Lead guitarist (plays ibanez GRGM21M and fender player stratocaster, both shiny black)

Extra:

Dad friend of the group, his calm and caring personality makes him the best at giving direction and solving conflicts. He's the (unofficial) leader of the group because of this

He was in a car crash at 10 that killed his (adoptive) parents and left him with lasting nerve and muscle damage in his left leg, which gives him a limp. He uses a cane sometimes but usually chooses to go without it.

He likes photography! It's his main hobby outside of music, which is why his emoji is a camera

Through Foxe, he's conversational in Japanese! He translates songs for them if they don't feel like it

Aliyah #🥁

Aliyah Marissa Kendrick

23, Gemini, 5'5", genderqueer (she/they,) pansexual

Drummer (plays yellow mapex armory 5 piece set with stickers all over it)

Extra:

Deaf/HOH, hearing loss runs in her family and started for her at about 17, playing the drums without earplugs definitely doesn't help. She has hearing aids but generally doesn't wear them as she finds them uncomfortable and has enough hearing to get by without them (in her opinion anyway)

Always changing her hair, whether it be fun wigs or colorful braids and dreads, she's always playing with color and style

She does a lot of DIY with her clothes, she likes making patches mostly!

Full of mischief and always messing around with the other members, she's very outgoing and silly

Skye #🎸

Skye Alice Tate

23, Virgo, 6'3", cis female, arospec lesbian

Bassist (plays ESP LTD F-415FM, also plays a dark red Gibson Les Paul electric guitar)

Extra:

Speaks decent Japanese and Spanish, doesn't really use either outside of talking with the other members though.

Second best guitarist in the group (don't tell Jax) but plays bass because she prefers the sound, and less attention on stage.

Generally calm and chill but absolutely will join in on shenanigans if it seems fun enough, always egging on Aliyah and Jax when they're up to something

Her mom overdosed when she was 15, leaving her alone, she spent a lot of time couch surfing until the band moved in together because she didn't care for her group home

Jax #🛹

Jackson Oliver Mendoza

21, Scorpio, 6'1", demiboy (he/they,) bisexual

Rhythm guitar (plays ibanez GRGR120EX, custom painted green)

Extra:

Half Choctaw, half Mexican. Fairly disconnected from Choctaw culture since his mom died when he was 4. Has limited connections with Mexican culture and speaks Spanish fluently, but doesn't really like being around his family

Big family! Three brothers and four sisters. his younger four siblings are half siblings through his step mom, the older three are full siblings

Silly and goofy and very outgoing, kind of a flirt but he genuinely means well. He just wants to make everyone around him happy!

Doesn't realize it, but has the early stages of schizophrenia. It's through his mothers side of the family, which is why he doesn't know :(

Foxe #🦊

Foxe Keiko Suzuki

20, Cancer, 5'8", genderfluid (they/he/she,) bisexual

Lead singer (also plays guitar. Red epiphone SG standard)

Extra:

Half Russian, half Japanese. Born in Japan and emigrated to America at 8. speaks Japanese fluently and Russian conversationally.

Raised in a weird cult until they were like 12, they don't like to talk about it

Suffered head trauma and a near drowning incident that left them with some brain damage, because of this they speak with a slur and stutter, but can still sing just fine! To "not inconvenience" anyone, they usually communicate with ASL and have another member translate. But they talk openly at home !

Bubbly and sweet personality despite everything, they love to perform and make people feel good. They love the rest of the members a lot and they show it often!

Highlights: Inauguration of the Nativity scene and lighting of the Christmas tree

Vatican News, 3 December 2022

📷: Daniel Ibanez / CNA

Vatican Christmas tree lighting ceremony 2022

The Christmas tree is a nearly 100-foot-tall white fir from Rosello, a mountain village with around 182 inhabitants in the central Italian region of Abruzzo.

The tree was adorned with ornaments made by children at a psychiatric rehabilitation center in Italy.

Other decorations for the tree were crafted by residents at a nursing home and schoolchildren from Abruzzo.

The outdoor nativity scene is made of life-sized figures hand carved out of alpine cedar trees from Italy’s northeasternmost region, Friuli-Venezia Giulia.

The scene includes a wooden grotto with an ox, donkey, angel, Mary, Joseph, and the baby Jesus. The wooden figures will also have tradesmen and tradeswomen typical of the area where the nativity was made, a shepherdess, family and children.

The Vatican has placed a nativity scene in front of St. Peter’s Basilica for the Christmas season since the 1980s.

For about a decade, the Vatican has asked different countries or Italian regions to lend the nativity to be displayed. In 2021, the scene came from Peru.

This year, the Vatican is also displaying an indoor nativity scene donated by the government of Guatemala inside the Paul VI Hall, where Pope Francis receives many audiences in December.
