Blaise Serra

Blaise Serra is a magician and actor originally from Connecticut who now lives in Los Angeles working as a performer and magic consultant. His sleight of hand artistry has allowed him to travel across the country performing, most notably for MGM resorts as well as in his own stage show entitled "TAME: Through A Magician's Eyes.” His unique magic style is influenced by his background spanning various forms of entertainment. Growing up in a small town in Connecticut, Blaise began his ventures into the arts first with music. He started performing at the age of nine when he began playing guitar, an instrument he is still passionate about to this day and which has shaped his unique approach to magic by applying guitarist techniques and pedagogy to create his style of sleight of hand. For years his focus was music and theatre/ film acting. In high school he took up magic and began attempting to create original routines. By his Junior year of high school he had consistent work performing magic at corporate events in New England, and he decided to take additional classes to graduate school a year early to pursue a career in entertainment. In January 2018 at the age of 18 he moved to Los Angeles and began performing at the Hollywood Magic Castle. One month after moving he got the opportunity to work with musician Todrick Hall on his “Forbidden” visual album and world tour. A few months after returning to LA from that tour, he began working with magician Shin Lim on an act which would become Lim’s finale act while competing on America’s Got Talent. After this Blaise became Lim’s magic consultant and they continue to work together on his show ‘Limitless’ on tour and at the Mirage Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Currently he spends his time split between living in Los Angeles where he performs in his solo show “TAME: Through A Magician’s Eyes” and in Las Vegas where he works as a magic creator/ consultant. In January of 2019 his first release to the magic community entitled ‘The One Armed Bandit,’ a set of techniques, effects, and routines Blaise developed became available for magicians to purchase and learn on shinlimmagic.com. His second release entitled ‘Double Agent,’ featuring all-new routines was released July 31st, 2020 on theory11.com.

The Search Form


About the Movie Section

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).

Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.

Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)

While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).

Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
