CURRENT MISSION
To have the best day of my life.

ABOUT ME
- I think really little kids are just mini drunk people
- I love showing people a great time and take pride in planning epic adventures for my friends (I know most about NYC and LA)
- I love a good dance party and enjoy having music around as much as possible
- I like discussing anything/everything - especially the important things like, what's better, pie or cake?
- I'm a professional close-up magician and perform all over (this is me on TV in the US: https://vimeo.com/9000365) ...taught Harry Potter most of what he knows
- I've wedding officiated and wedding crashed, road tripped across America with 4 friends in an trailer (but am still a bitch when it comes to camping)
- I take pride in being really respectful of peoples' space
- Here's a year of my life in 3.5 mins (video): http://goo.gl/gavSQ
- I have a British citizenship and a mean fake British accent. So I'm basically James Bond.
- I'm obsessed with food and drink. I try to find the best low and high class food in any city I go to. And I love checking out any/every awesome bar (especially secret ones...do you know any? I've alllllmost been to every single one in NYC).

MY PHILOSOPHY
No one looks back on their life and remembers the nights they had plenty of sleep.

SIDE NOTE
P.S. I know I have no references, but this is my first time using the site! So feel free to check out my IG (@itsmagicm) / FB (facebook.com/magicmike) so you know I'm not a creeper! Totally happy to chat on Skype or Whatsapp too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
...I've slept on many of my friends' couches...

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Though I don't have room to host right now, I'd love to show people around NYC. Or even just be a resource while you're there. I also can be a serious Los Angeles resource too (I made this video, which covers a lot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efR7O3zswSY. LA is spread out that you really need to know where to go to experience its complete and utter awesomeness.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Gone to a Monk Bar Mitzvah in Thailand.

Teach, Learn, Share

So meta.

What I Can Share with Hosts

1. The obvious one: magic. I'm more than happy to perform for you and your friends...The more you drink, the better the magic gets.

2. A forever-invite to NYC or Los Angeles. I seriously love helping and planning- I can answer any and all questions...forevvvverrrrr.

3. Joy. I know it's super cheesy but, as I hope you can tell, I'm a pretty happy person. And I like spreading that to everyone around me.
