About Me

I am the co-founder of a cool little magic group called Magic X. We have 12 of the best young manipulators in the world. We created a live show entitled Magic X Live which mixes illusion and manipulation with music, performance/visual art, and the energy of an afterhour rave.
Through this we were able to secure our own network televised special called T.H.E.M. - Totally Hidden Extreme Magic which originally aired on NBC and SciFi in 2004. It is now being broadcast all over the globe.
Last year we put together Room 401 that aired on MTV featuring myself, Rico de la Vega, Cyril, and Justin Kredible.
In addition to the magic world, I have also put together a band called Strangely Attractive . We have a five song EP that we are about to make into a full length album. We are in the middle of recording again. We love performing live. So come see a show if you ever get the chance.
