Why "MagicStark" and not something like Kakabus?

The story behind my nickname is a fusion of two worlds that have shaped me since elementary school, around 2008. That was the year I first fell in love with fantasy and strategy games — things like Dungeons & Dragons, board games, video games, and above all: Magic: The Gathering. And that's where the first part of my name comes from.

Not because I was some kind of champion — quite the opposite! 🤣 I used to go twice a week to the Vili Doris club in Šumperk, where people gave me the nickname "Magic" half-jokingly, but always with respect. I spent countless hours there, joining mini tournaments and meeting amazing people. Sure, I'd often finish at the bottom of the scoreboard, but I walked away with great friendships — and a nickname that symbolized my passion and perseverance.

The second chapter came around 2012, when I was 15 and helping organize children's summer camps with a group called LepšíTábor. One of our biggest hits was a Marvel-themed camp — and as a die-hard fan, I had the honor of playing Iron Man, a.k.a. Tony Stark. I went all-in on the role — costume, cosplay, attitude — and from the very first day, people started calling me "Stark." The name stuck, not just at camp but long after.

So when I started thinking about how to represent myself on social media, in gaming, and on streaming platforms, I decided to merge these two worlds. And that's how MagicStark was born — my alter ego that carries everything I've been through. It's more than just a nickname. It's a tribute to the moments, people, and stories that made me who I am.
