In case you don't know my back story, I grew up spending summers with my dad in his video store.I watched movie after movie all summer long and I dreamed of being a special effects make up artist. I even planned on going to the Art Institute of Pennsylvania after graduating high school. Well, towards the end of my high school years Terminator 2 came out and changed the game. CGI or computer generated imagery, was the new hip thing in movies. I wanted to do hands on movie make up and could not stand the thought of spending 80 hours a week behind a desk tied to a computer. So I went to college to study marketing and decided to do magic instead since I always wanted to do magic but special fx seemed more like a real job. I knew it would be tough and I also knew I loved magic and I was determined. I have been full time now for 18 years and have seen and experienced some amazing things that I would not have been able to if I worked a 9-5 job.
Some highlights so far:
Performing for furtune 500 companies, resorts, high school auditoriums, performing arts centers and theaters all over the East Coast
Being elected the president of the International Brotherhood of Magicians Ring 320
Teaching private and public magic lessons
Headlining magic conventions
Lecturing to magicians
Working on The Carbonaro Effect
