About Me

.
I'm a close up and parlor magician. I have typically performed close up magic for waiting customers at restaurants and resorts. I'm now focusing on a style of magic aimed at bar customers. I am performing at a few bars as a "magic bar back" I also perform a stand up comedy/magic show that includes beer bottles, boxer shorts, condoms, cigarrettes, bras, and a bondage kit. The bondage kit is the escapology part of my set. I was a white water rafting guide. I figured that I came into this world on a cold, wet, and broken piece of rubber and that would be just as good of a way to go out. I did this for three years. I used to race and guide mountain bikes for a living, I love the mountains. I also taught skiing and snowboarding for seven years. I decided that I shouldn't take every one of my advocations and turn them into vocations so now I only perform for a living and I do the rest for me. All of the outdoor adventure sports are more fun since they are for me. Having to teach/guide tourons gets old fast.
I was born in one of the most run down and poverty stricken parts of WEST Virginia. I have now lived from Florida to California. I was married for three years and I have a son who was born May 23 of 1998. Now I am divorced and I have to struggle to see my son. I tried college a couple of times but to be honest it took all I had to put up with the education system threw high school. I have continued my education but it has been on my own.
I have a honest, dry, and sometimes abrasive sense of humor. I'm organized, well mannered, and self motivated. When I am not performing, rehearsing, or taking care of business you can find me on a pool table, mountain bike, white water raft, skis, snow board, or climbing a rock face.

My Interests

Chivalry, friendships, honesty, enjoying life, travel, chess, poker, and billiards.

I'd like to meet:

Mainly online penpals but I'll give a shot at describing my ideal woman. Someone who stives for self betterment physically, intellectually, and spiritually. Someone with drive, ambition, kindness, honesty, intelligence, integrity, and a adventurous spirit. To have a relationship I would need to find someone who was willing to travel with me as well, hence why I say I am looking for penpals.

Do you think of magic as a art form/legitimate theatre or simply tricks?

I wrote this to a friend and wanted to pose the question to more people. I wish the art of magic was considered legitimate theatre by more people. Since a great deal of "magicians" use magic as a ...
