Thank you so much for the wonderful review, Hillary! It was an absolute pleasure bringing my magic show to your event. I loved seeing the entire crowd so highly engaged, captivated, and having a great time together. Everyone looked incredible in their masquerade costumes, and the energy in the room made the magic even more exciting to perform. Lizton Lodge is truly a spectacular venue, and I’m thrilled I could be a part of making your 30+ person celebration so memorable!

Rob this was a fun Christmas party in Carmel, Indiana! Everyone was great and the Parlor magic really connected. Thank you so much for having me perform my magic show that included some strolling close up magic.

Mik, I really enjoyed performing for your group on that harrowing winter eve! Even with a foot of snow on the ground, it was an absolute blast celebrating the birthday of the 20-something twins in the Noblesville/Carmel area. Thank you for having me!
Best,

What to expect
Expect the unexpected you might even start doing the magic yourself. It has happened. I like card tricks and magic of all sorts. I may try to read your mind. One thing is for certain, it will be fun and happening right before your eyes. I Guarantee it!
About
From a young age, my fascination with magic tricks sparked a desire to learn the art. At just four years old, I eagerly asked my dad for a book that could unravel the secrets of making things disappear. Although not a magician himself, my dad shared two impressive tricks with me, both of which I still perform today. As I grew up, I acquired a magic kit and attended my first magic convention at the age of 17, driving from Plainfield, IN to Warsaw, IN to participate in the Fellowship of Christian Magic Convention. Determined to enhance my skills, I opted to sleep in my car for the week, allocating more funds for magic props. Throughout my early 20s, I continued attending various conventions and lectures. Even now, I derive immense joy from providing family-style entertainment at gatherings and engaging in one-on-one walk-around magic.
Influences and inspiration
How I got interested in magic or performing, I really can't remember. I was just a little boy before school age. However, I remember asking my dad for a book that would teach me how to make things disappear. I did get a book at that time from my parents that came from my mother's Aunt Elora. It was a children's book that explained some simple tricks. My dad taught me the two tricks he knew that I still use to this day, many years later. Then there was Marshall Brodine and TV magic cards. That was a godsend at the time. I joined the Fellowship of Christian Magicians and drove up to my first magic convention in Warsaw, IN, at the age of 17 from Plainfield, IN. That was around 1979. I am enjoying learning new things to this day and still attending lectures. I may add more to this later. If we meet, ask about my latest card trick.
