I first became interested in magic at the age of seven when I saw a movie about Houdini. I checked out
every magic book the library owned and performed the tricks I had learned on my friends and neighbors.
Like many kids I dreamed of someday becoming a Master.
I was very fortunate to apprentice under two Sleight-of-Hand Masters, Jack McMillen for sixteen years and the great Charlie Miller for five years. They expected me to practice fifty to seventy hours per week; I never tired of the daily practice.
After many years and thousands of hours of practice my talents now include; Close-Up and Walk-Around Magic, Comedy Magic Shows, Trade Show Promotions, Magic Seminars for Business, Card Cheating Demonstrations, and Master of Ceremonies.

There are eleven different categories of magic. You may click on a magic category to view a
brief writeup on each: ** Illusionists ** Escapism ** Comedy Magic ** Children's Magic **
Black Art ** Stage Magic ** Mentalist ** Sleight-Of-Hand ** Close-Up Magic **
Ventriloquism and ** Juggling **
My specialty however, is sleight-of-hand, considered to be the most
challenging, difficult, and respected style of magic.
Most people have never seen a professional sleight-of-hand magician perform. Because of the thousands
of hours of practice required to become proficient, we're quite rare. Even when you see
it up close you won't believe your eyes. It's really that incredible!
My skills have been utilized on numerous industrial films and commercials. I've also been engaged by George
Lucas Films and Paramount Studio as a magic consultant for film and television.
As a professional magician I have had the privilege of meeting and amazing many famous people. Here are a few:
President George H.Bush, President Gerald R Ford and his wife Betty Ford, President George W. Bush,
Clint Eastwood, Sharon Stone, Gene Hackman, Russell Crowe and many
others. Each encounter was magical and special to me. To view a nice slideshow of my prior clientele

My hands are insured by Lloyds of London, but
not for enough to make me cut them off! If you'd like, you can click on the Llyods emblem to the left to get a larger view.
For many years I've been a performing member at the prestigious Magic Castle in Hollywood.
The Magic Castle has honored me by hanging my portrait on the exclusive Magicians’ Wall of Fame ( roll your mouse over the picture to view the Wall Of Fame ). The Magic Castle
has a nice home on the internet with pictures and more information about them at
