thePhantomoftheOpera

About
I am... a professional magician, doing stage magic as well as four-time-weekly street shows during the summer season. (Watch SvengaliPhantom on Twitter for real-time information!) I am also a composer and musician, playing piano, guitar, violin, and a couple others, as well as singing and writing.

My biggest project right now is a modern opera fusion - a stage performance combining live musical theater with a huge-scale magic show... an opera with a twist. It has now moved into its fourth year of work... and may make its stage debut(AT LAST!) in September 2011. A couple of small preview sections of music have been released in small magic videos...

I build EVERYTHING: little automata, props, traps, music boxes(digital, of my own design, and "classical"), doorbells, alarms, I ADORE building circuits, I am a fiend for junk and taking things apart, I do all of my own stunts/prosthetics/theater makeup/martial arts, am fluent in French(five years' schooling and three years living in Switzerland)... and I think Instructables should be its own international organization, sincerely. I applaud EVERYONE here.

What else? I'm married to a first chair soprano. *laughs.* Text or message us; I am TERRIBLY antisocial when I'm not performing, and trying to... open up a little more. Oh, and check back at livejournal.com/drphantasm - soon to be the show diary!
