Instructor Information:TwiztedMagic

I am a Shibari artist, a rope bondage and Kinbaku practitioner/Rigger. I prefer the Japanese style when I tie, it's more focused on the journey as opposed to the end result. There is a sensual, mental, kinesthetic, erotic, artistic and sadistic element for me within the strands of the coils. Rope has become an extension of my hands and one of the many ways in which I communicate. I speak the language of rope fluently.

Safety, consent and the well-being of my bottom (mentally, physically, and emotionally) are and will always be my number one priority. My areas of interest with rope are: floor play, predicament ties, bamboo ties, torture ties, semenawa, partial suspensions, full suspensions, dynamic transitions, and evolving into hashira. I am dedicated, knowledgeable, passionate, and I practice...a lot!
