Hi, my name is Fabian Blochberger, and I’m 21 years old. Since 2020, I have been living my true passion as a professional magician.
Until then, I never really knew what my purpose in life was, as I had many jobs, but none really satisfied me. Eventually, I realized that my purpose was to make people laugh, smile, and dream, so I decided to become a professional magician, a dream of mine since I was a little kid. As artists,
musicians, and entertainers, we are here to inspire others. We also can influence people. That’s why it should be our mission to point out the problems that the world is facing. We were given the gift of talent, so why not use it for good? I want to make a difference.
I never went to university, but I’m very thankful for the good education Austria provided for me. Education in my country is free, and we can choose from a variety of different schools, like the music and art school I chose. But this is not a given, and I do not take it for granted.
Here in Austria, we’ve never had to deal with a lack of food or poor education, but we know this is not the case in many other countries. We have to fight these problems without looking away. I love to travel, but whenever I go somewhere and see children on the streets with tears in their eyes, I can’t help but dream about a day where they won’t have to fear going hungry or receive poor education.
I define my job as creating magic out of the impossible to help the audience feel like little children again—even if only for a second. I always say, “Those who do not believe in magic will never find it.” Honestly, I think most people just give up too easily.
Magic shows are a series of things that may seem impossible, yet somehow can be done right in front of your eyes. Of course, you have to practice hard—very hard—and fail often. But you just get up and try again and again and again. With hard work, passion, and true love, you will be able to do it. And if magic is possible, then, of course, that means magic can be possible in every aspect of our lives—and all across the world.
Magic is real. It is about believing in yourself, and if you can do that, anything can happen. Your dream can become a reality!
