Who Is David Zanthor?

 

 

Forged from magic rock in the iron belly of a star, thrust naked toward earth in a meteorite tomb, he is Zanthor, fire mage and hobo wizard.

Zanthor’s mission is to reveal the ancient secrets behind all magic. He gives birth to miracles, and then drowns them in a sea of truth.

After he uploaded this astonishing first video. Zanthor was employed by VideoJug, on a short term fixed contract, to take his unique style of magic – called ‘super magic’ – to the streets of London. He amazed pedestrians with trick after trick after trick. and then told us how he did it.

 It was this refreshing disregard for the magic community’s traditions of secrecy that brought Zanthor into the spotlight and drew a huge audience for his internet films.

After receiving countless awards, accolades and positive forum comments David’s star rose quickly. In an interview with Time magazine he was quoted as saying:

 “I couldn’t believe it, here I was suddenly getting 10,000 hits an hour, I mean seriously, when you’re getting that kind of internet exposure nothing is out of your reach. Money, women, drink- everything except those things is within your reach.”

It wasn’t long before VideoJug gave Zanthor his own West End show, ‘Monsieur de Reve” where he performed illusions which left his adoring fans spellbound.

But his devotion to the truth compelled him to expose the grand illusions of the London stage, starting with how to shoot an arrow through a woman. This awe-inspiring, death-defying film struck a blow deep into the heart of the traditions of magic.

The Magic Circle was enraged and Zanthor was run out of town, and banished from London. He sought refuge in the charming seaside resort of Southend-on-Sea, eating out of bins, performing tricks for candy-floss and sleeping under the pier.

But even punishment like this couldn’t stop him from pursuing his quest to smash down the walls of the castle of secrets and set magic free. Watch the Southend films if you too would like to set magic free.

No one can say what the future holds for David Zanthor. But while he builds that future keep watching VideoJug- because we pay him £50 a film and that’s something we know he will never turn down.

Good luck Zanthor! Keep uploading films!

WTF? This is false right? Zanthor is just a pseudonym for James Lamont, a guy who works for video jug. He's in the arm-wrestling video.
