I’ve had some remarkable opportunities, from performing for Bruce Springsteen and Colin Powell to appearing on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Performing at Rao’s in New York is another experience that stands out. For me, what makes a great gig is the connection with the guests. There’s something special about seeing people who thought they’d seen everything suddenly look at each other and say, “How did that just happen?”
I especially enjoy corporate events and intimate private gatherings where I can get to know the guests and make them part of the performance. A simple conversation can turn into something no one can explain. Watching people relax, laugh, and connect over that shared experience is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do.
I started exploring magic at eight years old. At 22, I spent three years traveling through Europe and South America, studying with mentalists and illusionists and learning about psychology and perception. Those experiences helped shape the way I perform today. I now have more than 30 years of experience and perform at over 250 events each year, from corporate gatherings and private celebrations to exclusive events around the world. My work combines mentalism, magic, and theatrical pickpocketing in performances tailored to each audience.
Timing is planned around your event. Strolling performances need no technical setup, while stage performances have a few basic requirements that we'll discuss beforehand. We'll agree on my arrival time, performance length, and any breaks in advance. I can provide strolling entertainment, a stage show, or a mix of both to suit your schedule.

Absolutely. I work with you to create the right mix of mentalism, magic, and theatrical pickpocketing for your guests. We can include strolling performances, a stage show, or both.

Clients often describe my performances as mind-bending, engaging, and full of laughter. They also mention how personable I am and how naturally I fit into their events. Whether I'm performing for a small group or a full room, guests feel involved and leave with something they can't quite explain.
