Bag of Tricks :
♧ Sleight of Hand / Misdirection
The main staple of many of his illusions includes having clever hands and being able to distract his audience appropriately. Being ambidextrous helps immensely in accomplishing some seemingly impossible things with just a flick of his wrist. Whatever he is truly up to is never what everyone is watching.
Hypnotism ♤
With a few lulling words and a snap of his fingers, he can send willing participants into a deep hypnotic trance. Usually, he does this to entertain, but more often than not he'll leave his hypnotee with a few useful suggestions for after the show. Inducing random passerbys into a hypnotic trance is more hit or miss so he doesn't attempt it unless he's fairly certain someone is going to be susceptible.
♢ Escapology
Actually a very skilled lockpicker, he can slip out of practically any pair of handcuffs provided he has access to the pins and paperclips he keeps hidden on his person. Deadbolts and the like take considerably more time, but he can manage those as well if necessary. For the stage, he prefers using trick locks.
Pulling a Cat out of a Hat ?? ♡
Wait, what?! Yes, he possesses the ability to shift into the form of a wildcat, specifically an albino serval. This is the only trick he has that seems to be actual magic and, ironically, also one he never brings into any of his acts. He prefers to keep it a secret and very seldom actually takes this form.Meow~
