Who is he?

Zee was one of the slowest learner among his magician friends when he was just starting out. Others were able to learn and perform routines within a few days only, but it usually took Zee weeks to get down merely the techniques from those routines.

That made Zee think, “maybe the reason I can’t do these moves is because these moves are flawed!”

Ever since Zee blamed the problems on the magicians who designed those routines and techniques rather than accepting his untalented hands, he has been focusing on streamlining the routines and simplifying the techniques that he already knows rather than trying to learn something new every other day.

Zee has suffered from not being able to learn magic just by watching/reading explanations, so he knows the pain and also knows how to relieve the pain.

Since Zee had to dissect routines & techniques into smallest pieces and learn from there, Zee knows how to teach what he knows in the simplest language possible so anyone can learn from him.
