Since the age of eleven, I have always been fascinated by the art of illusion. So much so, that as a young boy I used to read books and study notes on every magical style from close-up card tricks to large stage illusions.

By the age of twenty I had mastered "card magic" to a professional level. I still perform for my own amusement, occasionally in a professional capacity. I particularly the creative process of designing illusions.

Below are a few clips of illusions I have been fortunate enough (with the aid of my "magical" friends) to capture on film. Some are "demo" videos that we shot as screen tests. They are not the greatest quality, but I can assure you there are no camera tricks involved!

(Quicktime versions of these clips will be available soon).

"TROUPE VANISH "
The first performance of a new illusion. The disappearance of a seven-member dance troupe from a platform surrounded by audience members.
