What do the magicians at darksleightz do?

My turn!

Every single one of our artists is at university at the moment. Let's give you a little more transparency on the staff, the teams and such:

The staff
The staff only counts two people: Richard as our product manager and I as the founder and CEO. The two of us run our support system and the YouTube channel as well, the latter one together with our graphic artist Dennis, a freelancer. Dennis is part of our network of freelancers who are ready to make cover designs, title animations, music tracks and more for us at anytime.

Main Team
Our assistants, technicians, students and I are on the main team. The assistants, Toine (my main student) and I meet as a group at least once every three weeks as for now, and every week during vacation periods. That is, the ones who are in the neighbourhood because for instance at this moment, two of our assistants are studying in the UK and obviously can't join us at the next meetings. We all talk to each other regularly in both real life and online one-on-one sessions too though.

The main thing we do is sharing ideas and making the best out of everything. The ones who come up with the original ideas and/or with the main methods take the credits, but if you see two names in the credits of an effect it could very well mean that actually six of us have been working on it.

Our main team counts 14 part-time contracted members.

Online Team
The magicians that you see on YouTube are the ones that are on the online team and they actually are individuals rather than a team. Basically, they are the ones we discovered on the web and have the skills and potential to raise the bars and to spread the latest revolution of magic art, which somewhat means that we try to get the art both forward as for the evolution of tricks and backward as for making the art something "exclusive" for everyone again, including most nowadays magicians.

We have 4 online members: Albert, Eoghan, Carlten and Rachel who is yet to be introduced. We are also trying to get more offline artists film stuff for our YouTube channel (Miss Fa being one of them) but those are still on the offline team instead. The main difference between the online and offline artists is that the online ones don't have any contract.

Offline Team of International Performers
We also have some performers all over the globe who got our permission to perform in our company's name. Those belong to the offline team of international performers. They are individuals just like the online artists, yet they aren't making videos and are actively performing instead.

There are 4 of those artists.

Although all the artists are currently studying at university, this doesn't mean that we aren't professionals. For quite some of us performing magic is the only source of income, and even the whole company is running on magic performance incomes at the moment.

Hope this clears it all up.
