Discovering Family on Youtube

In this age of convergence, the ways families interact are changing. My entire family (of over 30 people) are all on facebook, including my oldest aunt who is 75. Recently, I discovered a cousin I'd never met before on youtube. My parents met some relatives they hadn't seen in like 30 years and it turns out their son is a magician in Florida. They said we should look him up on youtube, and I did. It was strange watching someone i'm apparently related to for the first time, performing magic tricks in the digital medium....(he kind of looks like Syler from Heroes) :-O

Here's a video of my cousin the magician:
