“Magic is a natural extension of my love of people and performing. I’ve had the privilege of entertaining audiences of all sizes, in a wide variety of settings and venues in the United States, South America, Europe and Russia, and have had the privilege of performing at conventions and corporate functions, as a magic-bartender, at private parties and events.
I love close-up magic for the way it instantly transports us all to a place where life’s day-to-day realities don’t exist. It’s a place of joy, laughter and wonder, and it’s a place we go together.”
