My name is Ryan Alderman and I am the famed creator of this website/realm-of-mystery and all of it's wonderful lime green hyperlinks.
I am 18 years old and a freshman at the University of Illinois. I am majoring in Psychology and possibly minoring in Spanish.
Magic has been a passion of mine my entire life. I created this site several years ago because I believed that, while there were some amazing internet magic tricks out there...none of them were truly entertaining.
Therefore, I have intertwined my twisted sense of humor into some age-old mental magic theories in hopes of reviving the "art" of internet magic as well as allowing my friends and family to have a few good chuckles.
I also love to act and play the guitar. I have appeared in eight productions at PORTA High School as well as two productions (Paint Your Wagon and Guys and Dolls Jr.) at Theater in the Park at Lincoln's New Salem.
I am also a historical interpreter at New Salem where I study and relate the trade of surveying as it pertains to the life of Abraham Lincoln. Exciting stuff.
