Enthusiasm

The art of magic has fascinated me since childhood. A magician can make the world a better place through spellbinding entertainment—especially those with a twinkle in their eye and a smile in their voice. Striving to be that kind of heartfelt performer, as well as teacher, has always been a driving force throughout my career.

Experience

My performance history spans 40+ years—that's thousands of magic shows for public and private audiences. This experience is grounded in 30+ years as a magic shop owner and demonstrator. Since 2004, I own and operate a successful magic club in the San Francisco Bay Area. Close-up magic is my specialty, which gives me a unique and practical understanding of what really works.

Expertise

The schooling of magic is twofold—learning how it works and how to perform it. I got my start by studying books on magic, but without mentorship, I wouldn't have come to fully understand its real secrets and the wonder experienced by an audience. Learning from others and studying magic literature go hand in hand, and that's my mission.
