Sleight-Of-Hand with Coins
This was shot by a magician friend of mine at a casual party in Los Angeles. There’s no camera tricks… just pure skill and a few Morgan Silver Dollars from the 1920’s.
Amateur Magic Castle Footage
This was shot at the Magic Castle way back in 2008. I found it on YouTube! It’s part of an old coin routine I used to do in my VIP Close-Up Show.
Torn & Restored Card – 2005
One of my very first videos. This was shot in 2005! A signed torn card is torn into pieces, and then put back together… one piece at a time. I performed this all over Southern California from 2004 – 2008. No camera tricks, tape, or glue were used!
Magicians in Tuxedos
Last night I performed at a black tie gala event in Riverside with a few of my magician friends. Matt Marcy is a great pal (and a great magician), and he hired us to entertain 550 people at an awards ceremony. Pictured above (L. to R.) are magicians Joe Skilton, Matt Marcy, Suzanne, and Jonathan …
The Learning Channel
I was a featured magician on the TLC program “Date My House.” I took two separately signed playing cards and magically merged them into one! This is the opening trick from my VIP Close-up Show – which is the perfect entertainment for smaller groups of up to 25 guests.
I Met The Amazing Randi!
James Randi, the professional magician who became famous for challenging pseudoscience and false claims of the paranormal, was interviewed by world-renowned mentalist Max Maven at the Magic Castle last Monday. Randi’s books “Flim Flam” and “The Faith Healers” are an important addition to any library. It was a wonderful interview (Max is always a great …
Lance Burton at the Monte Carlo
I was in Las Vegas with some friends on Wednesday, and we saw Lance Burton’s show at hte Monte Carlo. The fact that we’re all full-time professional magicians means that we can be a pretty jaded audience. I mean seriously… we’re a VERY critical audience. But what can I say, Lance Burton was one of …
My Card Magic On Spike TV
On Wednesday I filmed my third television interview with Spike TV for their program “1000 Ways to Die.” While previous interviews concerned magic tricks like The Bullet Catch and Sword Swallowing… this segment was about cheating at cards. I’ve never cheated at cards in my life (I’m an honest guy), but, like many magicians, I …
What I’m Thankful For…
I’m extremely fortunate to make my living as a magician! Here’s what I’m thankful for this weekend: I have great clientele. I’m not the cheapest magician in Los Angeles, and they know why! They appreciate how difficult it is to do the type of magic I do, as well as I do it. I’ve spend …
Magic, 1400s – 1950s
TASCHEN (who make some of the best art books in the world) has just printed a 600+ page book on the artwork of magic. I had a chance to leaf through a copy at the store… and it’s gorgeous!!! Inside are hundreds and hundreds of full-color reproductions of advertising materials, playbills, stone lithographs, and posters …
Yacht FAQ – Hiring a Magician on a Boat
As a busy Los Angeles Magician, I occassionally perform on boats. I’ve entertained billionaires on large private yachts, and small employee groups on chartered harbor tours. No matter what size group you have, I know that magic can be a big hit on the high seas. Why Magic is a Great Entertainment Option for Yacht …
Stage Magic Show Tips
On Friday, I did my stage show at the “end of year” banquet for the Ebell of Los Angeles. The Ebell of Los Angeles is an exclusive private woman’s group that was founded in the 1800’s. They were an amazing audience! The show went really well… but I don’t deserve all of the credit. Kelley, …
