My Magical History
My magic career began at eight years old when my uncle taught me a simple rope trick. That was all it took; I had the magic bug and knew I would be doing magic one way or another for the rest of my life.
​
In my mid teens I began to study escapes. I took to it quickly having an affinity for that type of stunt and that type of work. I found I loved the shocked expressions of my audience as much as their applause.
​
In 2005 I performed a one man show "The Magic Laboratory." This combined my love of Science with my love of magic.
​
Between 2005 and 2011 I participated in the four "Worldwide Escape Artist Relays."
​
In 2007 I set my world record, and also auditioned and was accepted for membership at the Magic Castle.
​
Today I perform in shows at many venues, including the Hollywood Magic Castle.
​
Come see my show, or better yet, book one for your venue. You'll be glad you did!
