808: Daniel Garcia - Ideas Unlimited
Daniel Garcia is a highly respected magic creator and consultant. But he is an awesome performer in his own right, too! Daniel helps create magic for David Blaine, Dynamo, Cyril Takayama, and Dynamo, (just to name a few) for their performances on stage and screen and online, too.

Daniel talks this week about some of the celebrated magicians with whom he has worked, as well as how he comes up with his creative ideas. He has a system for developing these ideas that he shares in this episode. He also surrounds himself with other creative types like Blake Vogt, Alex Rangel, Brent Braun, and others who are titans of trickery in their own right.

In 2023 we suffered the loss of many friends who have passed away, but whom are not forgotten. Perhaps as we grow older, we are more aware of those who pass. But this last year saw the passing of almost twice as many as were listed in the magic obituaries of 2022.
Although the list below is not exhaustive, it does reflect the names of many well-known (and some lesser known) magicians, spouses, assistants and magic aficionados who passed on in 2023. Some may not be as well-known to you, but they were my personal friends (hey, it is my blog!). If you are unfamiliar with any of these names, then it would behoove you to do a little online search of what these people have contributed to our craft. If you have someone you think was overlooked, then please post the name in the comments below on this blog.
Those whose names are highlighted with a “hot link” were featured or interviewed here on The Magic Word Podcast. It was not my original intent when I began this journey to chronicle the voices before they left us, but I am so thankful that I did sit down with many of these friends for lively, and sometimes intimate, conversations. You can click on their name to revisit and listen to their voices again.

Urban fantasy aids for people with involuntary clairvoyance:
● Glasses (tinted, clear, or prescription) for people whose visions are triggered by eye contact. They don't work for very strong prophetic impulses, but they'll stop most common-or-garden flashes of the future. Could be paired with a similar product, but intended to be worn by the other person. If both people have magically shielded their eyes, the chance of causing a vision through eye contact is almost eliminated. Their biggest drawback is that when a particularly strong vision does break through, they tend to crack or warp and need to be replaced.
● Contacts that work similar to the glasses above, but had to be developed with a different strain of magic to prevent the obvious safety issue of getting shattered by a vision. The result is that they technically do not work as well as the glasses, but because it is impossible to accidentally glance over or past them it pretty much evens out. However, when a vision does get through they will most likely cloud over and obscure all vision, which poses its own risks.
● Gloves in all shapes and styles for those who get premonitions when they touch an object or or a person's skin. The material has to withstand a lot of magical wear and tear so they hardly ever tear, but they can absolutely not be put in the washing machine.
● Amulets that repress clairvoyance as a catch-all, for people with a more versatile gift. They are easier to make than the more targeted aids, but have the drawback of being easy to lose and of possibly affecting clairvoyants other that the wearer simply because of proximity. This can be counteracted by having a bespoke amulet made, for instance using some of the wearer's hair or a teardrop. These amulets are more expensive, but more effective.
● Experimental magic techniques working with tattoos to replace physical amulets. They have to be tailored to the individual and are somewhat limited in their reach, but have shown great promise when it comes to shielding against specific people. This makes them very popular with people whose clairvoyant abilities get stronger depending on the emotional connection they have with a person. A tattoo can be a good way to prevent unwanted intrusions of the future and accidental breaches of privacy by shielding specifically against a friends, family members or partners.

DP x DC prompt # 8
CLAIRVOYANT DANNY X DCU
He knew he had no choice when he called Constantine for help, but Commissioner Gordon dropped the case off to him; unfortunately even he or Oracle weren't able to find any leads to any suspect or clue about it; so meeting the magician was his last resort but…
"Okay Bats, I'll help you in this case just this once, but after that we'll cut it short, okay?" John barked in annoyance as he threw his cigarette butt onto the ground; Batman just grunted in annoyance at the blatant dismissal the British always did with any cases of disappearances in Gotham, citing that the city was way too danm cursed and he wasn't interested in going near the ‘toxic hotspot’
“Then, Bats do you have any lead that we can start with?” asked the warlock, looking as disheveled as always. Bruce just let out an exhausted sigh before handing him over the case folder and debriefed the contents of it:
“The wife and child disappeared while the husband was on a business trip, he found his house looted and destroyed, a ransom note was found; in it demanded an exorbitant sum of money for the life of his missing wife and son. However, the note was old, so the victim suspects that his wife and son are already dead, so the police couldn’t link it anyone; no new bodies had been dregde from the shores, no suspects has been found so far and there are no video recordings of the night of the incident."
Constantine hummed as he skimmed the pages to quickly, uninterested “So, why are you asking me again? By the looks of it, isn’t this just an unsolved cold case?” John grunted as he handed the folder back, but Batman only hummed “If you look at the ends of the photo evidence you will see why I need your insight on this”
John skimmed at the pictures again before stopping short at the picture. The picture in question had been taken in the foyer of the mansion with the portrait of both wife and son on the floor, but the bizarre thing was, that there were covered in random runes that seemed to be eerily glowing a green hue; John's eyes widened as he stared at the peculiar sigil and runes adorning the photograph. As he studied it more intently, a chill ran down his back as he grumbled.
“I might need to call someone for a more insight on this one though” John hummed, taking out his phone to screen some of the pictures with the glowing sigils before sending it to whoever the magician was texting before starting to call someone.
Batman didn’t care and only grunted annoyed as he listened to a one-sided conversation for a minute until the blonde was done with it and stared to fumble with some folder paper that was in his side pocket “Who did you talk to just now, Constantine?” inquired Batman, walking closer to the Brit as he spoke some unknown incantations in midair, opening a portal “just a little friend who is good with this type of death magic”
And coming out of a green portal, floated a small child covered in a white hue. With a snowy whi\ite hair and green luminescent eyes, a planchette carried in his arms. Constantine closed the portal behind him; the small child-creature brightened up as he saw the magician and quickly floated closer, his NASA hoodie that was too big for his small body gently swayed in his hovering.
"Interesting," Batman muttered, eyeing the child with wariness.
The child smiled enthusiastically at the magician. Batman eyed the magician suspiciously as John ruffled the child hair before explaining, with a huff of fond exhaustion “this is child's name is Phantom, he’s what the occult like to refer as a psychopomp and clairvoyant who helps the souls to cross over and who might have ansers to this case”
"And how can he help us with it?"
The child's eyes glimmered as he spoke, a wispy voice exclaimed raising the planchette up "I help using this" said the small fey as it showed Bruce with pride it's planchette; then sided towards Constantine curiously “The Lady Gotham Knight smells like death, is he one?” the small creature asked, making the Brit splutter in a panic.
“h-he’s not the one that I asked look into!” hastily showing the picture to the kid with the strange sigils in it, the psychopomp grabbed the picture and put it under the planchette, floating down and putting the picture in the ground with the small wooden piece on top.
Placing both of his arms out and closing his eyes in deep concentration, his voice who was childish in nature just some seconds ago turned heavy and echoed as it started to recite ominously:
Ostende mihi quod olim absconditum fuit
o mors, da mihi ducem!
ubi latent umbrae et morantur;
illumina vias meas ut eas
As soon the small psychopomp finished the strange incantation the small crystal in the planchette started to glow an obviously shade of toxic green for some seconds before fading away making the small child frown worriedly making both of the adults tense, Constantine moved first before tapping its shoulder cautiously "what did you manage to find?"
The small fey grumbled as he floated up, scrubbing his eyes tiredly "The missing are not in this place, they are lost and away"
-TBC-

Translation
show me what was once hidden
oh death, grant me a guide
where those in the shadows hide and linger,
lighten up my ways to find them out

♡•° Fast Facts about your Future Spouse ♡•°
Welcome, my dears to a rather small (compared to others I've done) Pick an Image reading this time it is all about your Future Spouse.
I used intuitive writing this time and as always only take what resonates as I'm sure you're not all marrying the exact same person in the future!
Without further ado let's get into the reading, So take a breath and choose a pile. Always remember to trust your intuitive guidance and to only take what resonates for it is rarely wrong…
Pile One ~
• Has a happy-go-lucky personality, will always find a silver lining in situations, and will be a great help to you if you over-worry or panic too much, helping you see the good in all situations.
• Really loves Cats/Birds (one or both) may have a pet Bird or Cat or if not they really want one in the future.
• Likes to sing, as a hobby or a career, may be some of your Fs dream careers.
• Dyes their hair
• Has a lot of artistic talent, I'm seeing a lot of different outlets for this from painting to Photography, maybe writing/Poetry for some.
• Believes in Miracles, and has a very hopeful heart. No matter how much goes wrong in their life they have always retained their brave heart.
• May have had a rough childhood - I'm hearing both bad parental support/figures and bullying.
• They love cupcakes and/or muffins.
Pile Two:
•Is a very private person, may come off as mysterious to some but this isn't their intention, they simply stay in their lane and don't bother with drama or petty gossip.
• Has Curly/Wavy Hair
• Their favourite celebration is Halloween/Samhain
• Likes to be of service and helpful to others.
• Loves to receive handmade or thoughtful gifts over gifts of just cash.

Hope whatever resonated with you makes you excited to meet your FS someday when the time is right! I wish both you and your FS lots of good wishes and luck.
If you enjoy my content then feel free to give me a tip: https://ko-fi.com/faerytreealtars Don't ever feel pressured to do so though, your reblogs and interactions with me and my content is a lovely enough blessing it-self!

The very first thing Noah says in trc:
Gangsey after finding his body:
#i can't be the only one who knew he was dead right?#it is the first thing he said!#i didn't realise that none of them knew he was a ghost until this point#it's a book about clairvoyants and magic welsh kings#i assumed that i was meant to believe the boy with the cold hands when he said he was dead#i was just like “oh one of them is a ghost that's cool” and continued reading#their entire friendship is built around the supernatural and he told them that he was dead HOW DID NONE OF THEM FIGURE IT OUT?!#gansey was litrally brought back to life by the ley line just like ???#noah czerny#gangsey#trc#the raven cycle#gansey#blue sargent#ronan lynch#adam parrish#the raven boys

okay wait this isn’t a fic but i wrote this little blurb because i was thinking about this and it made me laugh.
“No! I’m telling you the door opened by itself! Think about all the people you have all chomped down on- oh my god! They’re out to get revenge and they’re targeting me!” You screeched, jumping as a bang sounded from down the corridor. Alec let out an unusually loud laugh. You however, was still very much freaking out.
“What was that? What the fuck was that?” You tried to peer down the dark hallway, your human eyes only doing so much to aid in your search as well as beginning to play tricks on you, causing you to whine. “Alec-“
The genuine fear in the noise stopped his laughter and he opened his arms for you to step into, though he couldn’t help but snort at your next words.
“I’m telling you this place is haunted..!”
“Sweetface, I can promise you it’s not. The castle is old, there are bound to be a few noises.”
“But the door-“
“My love, did you have a window open?”
“uh… I think so…?” Your face flushed a bright red. He sighed in defeat before chuckling, bringing you closer and kissing the crown of your head gently.
“What am I going to do with you?”
#okay but seriously#the castle is totally haunted#as an empath/clairvoyant/whatever you wanna call it i would hate if#alec volturi#alec volturi x reader#alec volturi blurbs

For the selkie AU headcanon that Jason's coat stays white after he gets (steals) it back as Red Hood and he goes back to the pools in the Cave and the batfamily see him, as an alternate take: what if instead of them thinking he's just a strange selkie that found their pools, they think Jason's ghost is haunting them specifically because Jason's coat got stolen? That's part of his soul, and now it's in the hands of a rogue murderer who's treating it like a trophy or worse, so Jason can't rest peacefully anymore. He's come back as a ghost to haunt his family for letting his coat get stolen and he won't be able to rest again until they get it back.
Jason would absolutely lean into this if he knew what they thought. He could do some seal move or flip that he knew or did a lot to emphasize that it's him and not a random albino seal. And the natural white color of his coat could amplify the whole ghost effect.
…. Anon have you hacked my fic files? Are my drafts compromised? This is sorcery. 😭😭😭
#just kidding 💚#but seriously that’s… kinda what’s gonna happen#because we all know I’m a sucker for fake hallucination Jason#so uh… congrats on your clairvoyance certificate#you really deserve it anon 😱💚#Selkie au#selkie Jason todd

This is my contribution to the 'chat what do we think' meme. I spent way too long on this, and it is very goofy.
I tried. And im pretty sure Saiki does say that Toritsuka looks crazy in the manga when hes talking to ghosts (and then right after toritsuka says the same thing when Saiki is using clairvoyance)
#please treat this like the goofy image it is#My best attempt at art 😔😔😔#saiki#saiki kusuo#saiki no psi nan#kusuo saiki#saiki k#the disastrous life of saiki k.#the disasterous life of saiki k#toritsuka reita#reita#toritsuka#kusuo#the disasterous life of saiki kusuo#the disasterous life of psi saiki kusuo#Digital art#bad meme#help me#im pretty sure Saiki does say that Toritsuka looks crazy in the manga when hes talking to ghosts#(and then right after toritsuka says the same thing when Saiki is using clairvoyance)
