Through the Eye of The Four Horsemen

1-jack first decided to become a street magician out of necessity, not passion. it was the only thing a young boy living on the streets could learn quickly to get by on. Seeing a street performance by Daniel Atlas is what made him want to peruse magic professionally.

2-Daniel only called henley 'fat' because he felt she was going to surpass him, and leave him behind. he only said that in an attempt to dampen her growing confidence so that she would not leave him. he hated being alone. instead, this very action drove her away.

3-in all honesty merritt only agreed to initially join the four horsemen because the other three were the only people who seemed to be immune to his 'magic.' it had been a very long time since he met people he couldn't manipulate. he stayed with them because they had started to grow on him. even Daniel. however, if any of this were to be suspected by the other three, merritt would deny any such feelings.

4- henley only became interested in magic because she liked being able to play 'dress up' in outrageous sparkly clothing and go on stage knowing everyone in the audience thought she was pretty. however, when Daniel called her fat she decided to go out on her own and become a real magician, finding a passion for magic along the way.

5-jack would never, ever, say this out loud, but he actually liked being the 'kid' of the group. He knew it was something that had become a term of endearment the other horsemen used and since he realized this fact he finds it difficult to act irritated whenever called so.

6- Daniel had known the moment he saw the tarot card stuffed inside his shoe that something life changing was about to happen. The card sent chills down his spine, the feeling of something great and ancient surrounding it. The card was the closest he was ever going to get to true magic.

7- the thing Merrit hates the most about magic is that as soon as you learn its secret, the amazement is gone. ignorance is bliss as they say, but to merritt ignorance is the equivalence of wonder. if you didn't know that a rainbow was just light reflecting off the rain what might you imagine it to be?

8- Henley hates mornings. she would sleep till noon every day if she could. A proper lady may rise with he sun, by a magicians first view upon waking should be to see the sun in all its glory, peaking in the middle of the sky, and strive to be just like it.

9- Jack first learned to throw cards because he though gambit from x-men was cool as a kid. not because he wanted to be magician.

10- Daniel would never bring this up, but he remembers jack from before they met after receiving the tarot cards. He had spotted jack on a corner one day, preforming a trick. The kid had just been a scrawny boy who looked like he hadn't eaten a proper meal in days. Daniel had slipped a $20 in jacks pocket as he walked passed.

11- Merritt had wanted to be a cowboy for the majority of his childhood, and became a mentalist by chance, when a friend of his dragged him to a seminar about it, and realized he had a natural talent for it when he had been called up on stage as a volunteer.

12 - henley didn't like sweets. of any kind, really. except maybe Godiva dark chocolate, as it was more bitter than sweet. she always told people it was because she had screwed up taste buds, but the truth was that as a small child she had gotten into the bowl of Halloween candy meant for tricker treaters, and ate almost all of it, right down to the last piece of candy corn. she puked all of it up within the hour, and ever since the simply idea of eating a starburst has made her queasy.
