POW with Magic

Magic, or MagicianIRL on Twitter is the head moderator for the Aswang Tribe, which is one of the top NFT projects in the country.

  What were you doing before Web3?

I am a full time magician.

How did you get into Web3?

Pandemic killed live events. I needed an “outlet” to relieve stress. I saw an old vid of Beeple being interviewed in the Tonight Show. Googled “NFT” then all hell break loose.

What was your first crypto or NFT project?

“Grinded” for a few projects but I found my family in Aswang Tribe.

How would you explain what you do to someone outside of Web3?

I collect digital art (but we all know its not that easy to explain it. lol)

Which creator or thought leader do you enjoy learning from?

Not biased but Aswang has been a great leader/master/sensei/sifu throughout my Web3 life.

What is the biggest highlight of your career so far?

To be the head moderator of the tribe!

What tech or crypto trend are you watching this year?

Anything AR/XR related, its been overused but still can’t wait for new updates and applications IRL.

What advice would you give someone starting out in Web3?

Learn while you can. Enjoy the process. And everything takes time.

If you could do a TEDtalk on any topic, what would it be?

“Turn your Passion into Profits!”

What is the one thing you would bring if you were stuck on a deserted Island?

IPod Shuffle 4th Gen Space Gray 2GB with a complete BoB Marley Uprising Live Album
