About Me

This show is designed to be highly visual and entertaining while remaing very edgy and funny. Although this show can be geared towards all ages, the best version is for adults and young adults. It also incorporates a lot of cool magic and illusion into the show. The slogan for the magic show is "MAGIC, MYSTERY, & MAYHEM" - Magic That Doesn't SUCK!!! Because when most people think of a magician they have a totally different idea of what a magician looks and acts like, and neither of those are me. The show is fast paced and filled with hot girls, loud music, special effects, crazy stunts, awesome illusions, and in your face comedy. This show tours the country on a regular basis and plays to thousands of people a year. During the Halloween season the show can be seen 4 times a night at the Headless Horseman Hayride & Haunted Houses in Ulster Park, NY. This is where the show really shines and can be seen close up. I also design and build many of the illusions that are used at this attraction._________________________________________________ ____ or Go to HeadlessHorseman.comIf you would like to see more about my show you can go to my web site and there you wil be able to read my credentials as well as view some video footage of my two shows.

I'd like to meet:

I like fun, freaky, original thinking people. I like people who are not afraid to be themselves, some people think they are freaks but those people generally are not. If you shop at Aeropostle or the Gap, you are a not a freak you are just cattle. Oh yeah, I LOVE MIDGETS an all little peope!! I love sideshow people and all of their faults and misgivings. I love people for the same reasons they hate themselves. I would like to meet more people who are screwed up but can pull it together in the "real" world. Also, please make sure you email me first if you are not a performer or someone that I actually know. I would just like to know who you are and why you would want to be my friend...Thanks!These are the types of people who I do not wish to ever be friends with!!! .. width="425" height="350" ..Then you have these guys who are my friends and they ROCK HARD!!!
