Growing up in a world mixed with magic, art and technology, Adnan Saleem has always worked toward bringing his greatest passions together in a manner that would allow his creativity to be expressed in multi-sensory and often, enchanting ways.

As a child, drawing, sketching and painting took up much of his time. The rest of his leisure was filled with books about magic, experiencing shows of the great performers of his childhood and performing illusions himself as a physical outlet for his creative thirst. As he grew up, never letting go of that paintbrush, he strived toward illustrating and creating increasingly realistic works of art, often involving illusionary concepts and surrealistic undertones.

With his first personal computer in 1987, Adnan began to use some of the most primordial graphics software to further enhance the realism of his artwork. With only mid 80’s hardware and a 40 megabyte hard-drive, the digital process was tedious, but proved to be an effective tool. New media allowed his surreal works to be more realistic, enhancing the believability of their inherent illusions. Sculpture later followed, allowing for more dynamic and interactive works which brought his two dimensional concepts into a more tangible reality.

His understanding in magic, illusion and the creative arts began to form a unique dance of multi-disciplinary expression. His professional magic debut began with a performance at the oldest operating baseball grounds in the world, Labatt Memorial Park, in Ontario, Canada in 1999.

Magic, illusion and performance continued to play a critical role in his creative process while technology and innovation became increasingly important tools for both creation and presentation. Education at both college and university levels gave the artist practical, as well as historic and theoretical insights into his creative passions. Integrating this new found knowledge with his existing toolset allowed him to win numerous awards such as at ‘The League for Innovation’, held in Etobicoke, Ontario in 2000, as well as over 40 Advanced Multimedia Competitions.
Adnan is currently included in the Hall of Fame at the highly acclaimed Worth 1000 Multimedia Competition (a Webware 100 winner) as ‘DestinationCreation’ and has had his work featured in publications including the popular tutorials textbook published by Thompson Course Technology titled, When Pancakes Go Bad - Optical Delusions with Adobe Photoshop. His work has also been featured on AOLtv’s TV-Squad, Comedy Central Insider, VH1 and other entertainment outlets around the world. In December 2007, Adnan was among the top 150 independent producers on Metacafe, sharing over $1,000,000 in advertising revenue for his creative online videos. He has since transitioned to Youtube as his main provider, which has earned him a top 100 Canadian Director rank as a Youtube Partner.

Initially launching Destination Creation Studios as a creative outlet, Adnan began to apply his unique use of multimedia and magic to produce original, fresh and innovative media applications, special effects and commercial design, often merging his various creative abilities to achieve exceedingly high realism in his work. DC has since become a destination to experience original and explorative creations for thousands of daily visitors, as well as for companies who benefit from DC’s unique and creative marketing strategies and business facilitation. Such companies include Facebook Inc, who acquired Destination Creation’s Personalization service after only a few months after launch in December 2007.

Sharing creative ideas has always been important to Adnan, as he actively collaborates with other independent multimedia professionals and creative artists. Critical reasoning, creative ambition, problem solving, craftsmanship and presentation are among the tools he values most.

Whether in his hand is a deck of cards, paintbrush, a lump of clay or a graphics tablet, Adnan Saleem will undoubtedly produce a form of creative impossibility in a highly convincing manner. As long as he is on stage, with friends or in his studio, he will always have a reason to astound.
