Entertaining

Ryan entertained guests during our fundraiser dinner and silent auction. He did several "standard" tricks and a couple that I would call amazing!

He was very professional. We discussed the event in advance. He showed up early and stayed late.

About

Ryan is a business executive with over 25 years of experience in the Aerospace industry. His love of magic began in High School when he saw that magician David Copperfield was dating supermodel Claudia Schiffer and realized he wanted to do that!

Ryan is a Magician Member of the Academy of Magical Arts, headquartered at the World Famous Magic Castle.

After 25 years of marriage (not to Claudia Schiffer) and raising two beautiful daughters, he has time to explore his hobbies, magic being one of them. When he isn’t performing or studying magic, he is probably hiking with Lyla, his Border Collie, or playing guitar or having dinner with his wife or watching the ball game. After writing all of this, I don’t know how he has time to perform …

Influences and inspiration

Ryan was influenced by Penn and Teller, David Copperfield, Eddie Murphy, Richard Prior, Jimi Hendrix, and Luke Skywalker.
