About Me

I am a full-time, professional performer/designer/educator. I perform as a magician, musician, puppeteer, clown and escape artist.
I, along with my partner Cassandra, started Vincent Magic Productions as a source for quality entertainment, as well as technical services for theatres and presenters all across the United States. I teach workshops and classes on magic, clowning, puppetry and technical theatre.
We perform for major corporations, trade shows, outdoor festivals, theme parks, schools/universities, theatres and at medieval/renaissance faires with our "The Magik of Morgan deGrey" show.
I also perform a solo act for the renaissance festival market. "Jareth Morgan-Master Magician" is a combination of magic, escape, mentalism and side-show stupidity.

I am a multi-instrumental musician and have performed many different styles of music, from classic rock and heavy metal, to R&B, blues, jazz, Celtic/Renaissance and more. I currently perform as one half of "Porter & Stout", a pirate themed folk duo. We perform at medieval and renaissance festivals across the United States. We perform the music of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, along with some traditional sea shanties and sailing songs.
You can visit the Porter & Stout website at www.porterstout.com
I am also a professional theatrical designer (lighting, sets, sound, special effects, magic, puppetry...) I spent some time working with bands such as Motley Crue, Guns n Roses, 10,000 Maniacs...
I am the proud father of one beautiful daughter who wants to be in the theatre (Yeah!!! She makes me happy!)Myspace Graphics
