My magical journey commenced at the tender age of 8, a time when wonder and curiosity were my constant companions. Much like other aspiring artists, I was instantly entranced by the enchanting displays of the local wizard who wielded his art behind the counter of the neighborhood magic shop. In those moments, the seeds of my passion were sown, and the world of magic unfolded before me, revealing its secrets and mysteries.

My hometown of Columbus, Ohio, has always maintained a vibrant and thriving magic community. In the heart of the city, you can find the esteemed P-3 Magic Coliseum, a hub for all things magical. This iconic establishment has been a cornerstone of magic in Columbus, serving as both a training ground for emerging talents and a gathering place for seasoned magicians to share their knowledge.

In my pursuit of mastery, I delved into the works of classic artists such as Dai Vernon, David Roth, and Paul Harris, who laid the foundation for the art of magic. These legendary figures illuminated my path with their timeless wisdom and artistic ingenuity. But I also sought inspiration from the modern greats, drawing from the innovative styles of magicians like Daniel Madison, Chris Ramsey, and the enigmatic David Blaine. Their contemporary approaches and groundbreaking feats pushed the boundaries of what was thought possible in magic, igniting my creative spark.

Card magic has emerged as my forte, and I've dedicated myself to the intricate and mesmerizing realm of sleight of hand. The allure of card manipulation lies not only in the artistry of the moves but also in the sensory experience it creates. The gentle rustle of cards, the seamless flow of a perfectly executed move, and the tactile connection with the audience when a spectator holds the cards all contribute to the magic's wonder. It's this very tangible connection that makes my card work even more enchanting, turning every performance into a memorable, shared experience that transcends the boundaries of ordinary reality.

I have some equipment that will integrate into your house video system to provide an overhead view of the parlor portion of the act. This is a stationary camera and provides a view of the close-up pad I use during the performance of my tricks. I have been known to use flash paper and smoke / lighting effects.
