About Me

I am the great grandson of the legendary vaudeville performer,Gentleman Ben Darwin. As a child I found a trunk in my grandparents attic filled with magic and escapes. My interest in magic took off from there. At the age of fourteen I was honored to be the youngest recipient of the Society of American Magicians Gold Medal of Honor.

As a magician and comic, I specialize in corporate and society events. I have appeared on the Today Show, Good Morning America, MTV and many local morning shows. I was the producer and star of the award winning cd-rom “Learn the Art of Magic," co-author of many magic books and created one of the best selling magic DVD's of all time, "Tricky Business!"
