An Extraordinary Memoir on Discovering Everyday Wonder by Nate Staniforth

Nate Staniforth has dedicated his life to exploring the essence of wonder—its nature, its sources, and how to share it with others. His journey into magic began when he realized that it transcends mere entertainment; it can evoke genuine astonishment without relying on flashy props or grand illusions.

After years of performing across the country, Nate found himself disillusioned and on the brink of giving up. Instead of quitting, he embarked on a transformative journey to India in search of true magic. “Here Is Real Magic” chronicles his evolution from a passionate magician to a weary traveler and back. It shares his rediscovery of awe and the significance of wonder in our daily lives, particularly during his experiences with a centuries-old clan of street magicians in the slums of India. This memoir serves as a heartfelt invitation to embrace awe, appreciate the ordinary, and seek out the magic that surrounds us.
