CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to make a change in how I've created memories up to this point in my life. Indiana has its moments! However, I feel those moments have been experienced and have gone as does any moment will naturally. I'm ready to live in a new one!

ABOUT ME

. My name is Norman Frank Basile III. I was born in Munster, Indiana and brought up in South Holland, Illinois. I am one of seven in my family with my parents, my two older sisters (one being my twin), a younger brother, and even younger sister. With that amount, competition for attention and approval from my parents was fierce. That drive grew with me as an influence that would later mold me into an entertainer.
. While fighting through the standardized procedures in education, I quickly realized that the skills they were teaching me in school were unrelated to the unconventional knowledge I would need to acquire - a necessity for an interesting career. I began practicing magic at the age of eight after watching David Copperfield perform on stage. As he triggered my interest in this unique art, professional street magician, David Blaine, brought a new style to the table, inspiring me to continue practicing and begin performing this genre of magic. To this day, Blaine remains my idol. As time, skill, and passion progressed, I knew I had found my life's profession.
. Now, almost 20 years later, I have worked hard performing numerous events and promoting myself throughout the Northwest Indiana region. I have since built a successful entertainment enterprise with the help of family, friends, and clients. I will continue to build my hobby into a life long career.

PHILOSOPHY

When you talk you repeat what you already know. When you listen you learn.

Whether you think you can or you can't you are always right.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well I live in Indiana so if you can find wet paint your day is pretty much considered made. I was a guest on the Mancow Show for my magic talent. Also, tried out for the show "So You Think You Can Dance" cuz I thought I could dance. That's about it! (help me...)
