About Me


Hey Kids,
What can I say about me? I am just a guy who does some neato keen stuff. Did I mention I have NO SENSORS? Which means...there pretty much isn't anything I will not try...and if it makes me or people around me hang their head in shame & confusion...chances are it'll become a permanent fixture in my repertoire.
The year 2007 marks my 26th year as a Magician. You know, people often ask me how I got started in doing magic...it was very simple...when I found out my sister was getting $300.00 a trick...I had to give it a try. But seriously, Magic has made me what I am today...50 lbs. overweight and bald.
Of late, I have been The Emcee of my own Vaudeville Variety Show. The Hush Hush Revue. Hush Hush Revue is steeped in tradition. It is a throwback to when times were much different. Mob Rule was in effect. Cops still walked the beat. The Blue Plate Special cost you a dime. Vaudeville was huge, but that was for the blue collar working class folks. I wanted to create a show that would take the audience back in time to a place where Vaudeville and Burlesque performers went AFTER they finished their shows. A place where the hooch was strong and the band was hoppin'. A place where you had to know a password to get by the goons at the front door. Sure...the performer's made their scratch on the circuit...but they made their folding money in joints like this.


My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Well...As Groucho Marx said..."I wouldn't belong to any group that would have me as a member!"With that being said, I would like to meet any degenerate that knows they are one. Carney's, Showfolk, Emcee's, Peeler's, Baggy Pantser's and anyone not from Utah.

"a little piece of me dies when you're around"
