Dragonskull Magick presents a profile of F. Allen, British performer of Bizarre magick.
Frank Allen
a.k.a. 'Alain The Storyteller'
| Leading British performer of Bizarre Magick. He became
interested in the occult from the age of 15. After 2 or 3 years of
sifting out the good from a terrific amount of rubbish that has been
written on all the various subjects that fall into the category of the
occult, he started to read tarot and became interested in Witchcraft as
the old Pagan faith. He is still Pagan by faith and reads the Tarot for
fun, entertainment and also seriously for those who need help.
He became interested in Magic (that's the magical entertainment that we all know and love) with cards, coins and sponge balls etc at the age of 20 when he first met Bernard Anderson. He spent the next twenty years earning a reputation as a good professional close-up worker, cabaret artist and restaurant entertainer. During that time he won many magical competitions and received many magical awards. About 1992, he became bored with all the usual standard magic and in an attempt to relight his enthusiasm, he began reading the reprinted volumes of Invocation and thus started his deep interest in Bizarre Magick. In October 2006, he won the British Magical Society Close Up competiton, performing one of his Mountebank bizarre routines. |
