About / Biography

I currently offer magic performances both live and virtual, so convenience or logistics are never an issue! Children's parties, bachelor/bachelorettes, dinner parties, or even just because! My specialty is cards and coins, as well as a few other handheld mediums. My performance style has been compared to a combination of Criss Angel, David Blaine, and The Amazing Jonathan.

I offer lessons in magic illusions as well! These can be done virtually (live is available in Baltimore and the surrounding areas). Sedona are one-on-one and recordable, so you'll never need to pay for the same lesson twice. I use Zoom to connect with my customers.

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

Virtual performance require the customer to have an internet connected device with a screen (as small as a cell phone, but ideally a Smart TV, or a flat screen TV with an HDMI port, plus a laptop with HDMI)

For virtual magic lessons the customer will need to provide their own materials (for beginners, this means 1 standard deck of Bicycle playing cards and $1.25 in quarters, or $2.50 in half dollar pieces)


What information do you require about a venue?

Atmosphere and themes of events held, as well as clientele demographic. I cater to all audiences.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Lighting, no. Sound, possibly, depending on the size.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

I'm a metal artist and I can't guarantee my music will land with every audience.


Do you require any special equipment for private events?

As a close up magician, I pack small and play big. You will see me enter with empty hands. The only thing I need is a table.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

Along with being a magician and a musician and vocalist, I'm also a battle rapper. My best performance was in Staten Island, New York, where I made the crowd go wild by performing magic during my verse. The video of our went viral immediately.

The best venue I've played was probably Rams Head Live at Power Plant in Baltimore, though the biggest show I've ever done was opening for Jagged Edge in Pennsylvania.

As for magic, I believe my favorite event was a fundraiser for a local philanthropic organization in Baltimore called THREAD. The event wax held at a hotel next to our convention center here in Baltimore.


What's your favourite type of event?

My favorite type of event to perform magic for us the "just because" dinner party/gathering. The environment is so different from a children's birthday or a corpse event. Much more intimate, and really opens the door for interactions that may not occur in other settings.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I began performing magic when my grandmother bought me a deck of cards to play with fur Ying recovery after I injured myself doing parkour. That was twenty years ago, and I performed my first show just 6 months later at age 16.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

My music style is heavily influenced by bands like Lamb of God, Asking Alexandria, and Bring m me the Horizon, though my favorite band of all time is Avenged Sevenfold
Unfortunately, I can't select a single song to say is the greatest.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Average stage performance time: 25 minutes (setup time, <5 minutes)

Average virtual performance time: 30 minutes (no setup time)

Are you happy to perform outside?

Definitely happy to perform outside. I have experience with this.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

I have a set repertoire as far as music goes.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

I have yet to receive a bad review. I play guitar, sing mostly bass, and perform metal songs. I have received many rave reviews, as well as awarded for best metal artist by Tony Aye Artistry organization.
