My first encounter with magic
It all started when I was a child. One day, I stumbled upon a video on YouTube where five guys were performing magic tricks that seemed impossible at first glance. They called themselves M5 — Magic Five. At that moment, the world around me seemed to slow down a little. I stared at the screen with my eyes wide open and couldn’t believe that this wasn’t editing or special effects, but real magic — performed by ordinary guys who simply believed in miracles. I was impressed by everything: their style, energy, presentation, their friendship, and, of course, the tricks themselves.
Why M5?
M5 were special. They didn’t just perform tricks — they created an atmosphere that made you want to stay longer. They told stories, intrigued, and amazed. In their hands, even an ordinary deck of cards became an instrument of art. Each member had their own style, their own thing, and together they created a truly magical team. They made magic accessible — not somewhere on a big stage, but in your home, right from your smartphone screen.
Who were they?
The Magic Five team consisted of:
Dmytro Yevtushenko — always serious, with a cool approach to stunts, founder of the team.
Mykita Golef — charismatic and cheerful, he added lightness to the videos.
Artur Tomashevsky — incredibly creative, he often showed something shocking.
Dima Lukash — one of the participants who practises micro-magic.
Dima Respect — the youngest, but very technical and precise in performing tricks Together, they created a YouTube phenomenon that captivated millions of viewers, including me.
The breakup, which I felt as a personal loss
When I found out that the team had broken up, I was sad. It was as if something important in my childhood had come to an end. Each of the members went their separate ways, and although some continued to practise magic individually, the ‘M5 magic’ was no more. But, you know, the magic they left behind remained with me.
Magic in my life today
I am now 19. And although I don’t have a stage, costumes or millions of followers, I have the most important thing — the desire to give others a sense of wonder. I started learning simple tricks on my own, became interested in the psychology of illusions, and watched performances by famous illusionists. Magic became not just a hobby for me, but a way to see the world differently…
Why I created Misora
This website is my attempt to bring back the magic I once felt. But not as a spectator, but as someone who wants to create it myself. Misora is a place where everyone can touch magic: Beginners will find simple tricks and tips. Enthusiasts will find interesting stories, interviews, and news. Experienced magicians will find a space to exchange knowledge and ideas. I dream that Misora will become a new source of inspiration for those who seek miracles in a world where they seem to be increasingly rare.
