"A Good Old Fashioned Performer in a Newfangled World"- Los Angeles magician - California magician - closeup magician - Hilarious standup comic Phil Van Tee is a top notch sleight of hand artist with 34 YEARS of experience (over 12,000 shows performed!). A graduate of Ringling Bros. College, Phil entertains and fascinates in a folksy, silly, Gary Cooper meets Harry Anderson kind of way. He accompanies each delightful and elegant closeup miracle with funny stories & tall tales about his family and his adventures growing up and traveling the world. Oh, and don't forget the goofy jokes, the juggling, and even the Cowboy poetry! All the while, it would seem that the magic happens for him as easy as fallin' off a log. Picture a cowboy hat wearin' Abe Lincoln as an expert magician (long and lanky, Phil is 6' 8" in stocking feet! But he'll be happy to wear his boots, just for you!). He's the perfect tall, dark, and handsome (well, 2 out of 3 ain't bad) entertainer to thoroughly fascinate, amaze and delight your most important guests!
Phil has appeared on Reno 911, Showtime's "Who's Got Jokes?", The Man Show, Mad T. V., A& E's "Comedy On the Road", "The Latino Laugh Festival" (Si T. V.), "Inside Joke" (Si T. V.), Vic Dunlop's "Clean Comedians Special", and several times on Nickelodeon!
