How long have you been interested in magic?
I have been interested in magic since a very young age (well over 20+ years). I started with magic kits and later grew into discovering magic in books. I then began to look for what I thought was "real" magic and began to study different areas such as mentalism and began to blend it with everyday magic tricks.
Take us through your show – what can we expect?
Guests may experience a variety of things from person to person mind-reading demonstrations. A hypnotic experience or coins bending in their own hand. They may also experience a mix of modern card magic, coin tricks, and magic with everyday objects from cell phones, silverware, and drinks.
What do you love most about your job?
What I love most about the job is being able to interact with everyone and hear the stories they tell on what their experience watching magic is. Sometimes I get groups of people who have never seen a magician and watching them experience magic for the first time.
What inspired you to start your own business?
To be honest, I've always wanted to be in business for myself whether that be magic or any other kind of business. I honestly run 2 business including magic. The other business I run is working as an actor and filmmaker.
Why should our clients choose you?
I have performed in almost every type of environment possible and have experienced almost every type of crowd. Therefore, I am able to adapt my work to fit the guests personalities at a moments notice. When I speak with you, I will work with you as a team and also be honest about your expectations at times and will tell you if I am the best fit or not. I will take the time to help you design a show that not only fits what you are looking for, but also offer the best impact to your event leaving your guests with something they will be talking about the rest of the night. In the end, my background before magic comes from hospitality and I use those skills and treat my customers as if they are at a 5 star resort.
I expect high quality services when at a 5 star resort- why not offer you the same service all around.
Strolling walk around magic
This type of magic is a modern approach to entertainment at events. It gives me the ability to not only entertain your guests with magic up close, but also have them be part of the magic. When working as a strolling magic I use a variety of skills from card tricks to mentalism and adapt each trick for every group I approach. I make sure to tailor it so your guests can have the best experience possible while also having a lot of fun. This doesn't involve any prep time of any kind from your end - once I arrive I immediately start working through the event.
