About Me

I’m professionally known as Al The Only . I have been a full time professional magician for over 25 years and a part time comic / comedian for just as long. I’m married to the second best girl this side of heaven. Lori and I were married in 1982.I perform at corporate events , trade shows , company banquets and association functions around the country. I spend approximately 6 months on the road flying over one hundred thousand miles a year. Northwest Airlines loves me, I’ve flown over 2.2 million miles with them. When people ask me where I live I tell them “in hotels and on airplanes.” When I get home Lori puts mints on my pillow so I don’t get home sick.I’m originally from Hamtramck, Michigan; a small town in the Detroit area. In the year 2000 Lori and I moved to Maui, Hawaii where we currently live.I love to travel and I love to golf. I love doing magic and making people laugh. I basically love life.
