[edit] Background

SKy or Simon Kempner was born on the 21st of July 1990 in Harrow. He was uninterested in magic until he was 10 years of age when an "unexplainable incident" occurred. He is never seen without his 'trademark' Zippo lighter, and rarely uses playing cards, to distance himself from other magicians.^{[citation needed]}

[edit] The Story

The claim behind his use of the lighter, and sudden interest in magic dates back to his schooldays. It is suggested that he was travelling home from school, when he bumped into a man with a cigarette in his hand, knocking it onto his sleeve. Instead of burning a hole, his arm was ignited and he was rushed to hospital. Whilst in hospital doctors were mystified as to why there were no marks left on his arm, and so the nickname used by them was SKy - SK being his initials, and the 'y' representing the unknown response to the flames. Since this incident, he claims to be able to read minds, by using simply a flame (normally from a Zippo style lighter). He then began to be interested in the magical platform, and refined his 'gift', claiming he can transfer thoughts both ways through the medium of a flame. He further claims there are many unknown properties of fire which are yet to be explored, but he will continue to use this for entertainment until this point.
