Invite me into your life and I will take you into my world ...
I've spent my life exploring the potential of the mind
According to my parents I taught myself to read when I was 4 years-old. At 10 years-old I learned computer programming and my first summer job, when I was 16, was software engineer for a local Internet start-up.
I've also always had a desire to create. I've pursued acting, music, writing, painting, drawing and magic.
I am something of a mind worshipper. After becoming obsessed with magic I found myself gravitating towards a style of magic known as "mentalism." This was entirely unexpected. At the time I had a strong distaste for psychic-like feats, rooted in a hatred towards charlatans, frauds and the psychic industry. However, after falling in love with mentalists such as Derren Brown and Banachek I began to realize that mentalism is a perfect way to express a love and appreciation for the human intellect. Instead of framing my effects as "psychic," my character is more akin to Sherlock Holmes, or Patrick Jane from the NBC television series "The Mentalist." My performances are representative of what an extension of the human intellect would look like.
"You've convinced me that magic is not just for kids!" - Brad
"I never realized that magic could be so emotionally powerful. I guess I was used to cheesy, flashy stage illusions. You found a way to make it personal and deep. I will never forget that." - Samantha
"You have to tell me how you did that!" - Jackie
"That was the most memorable night of my life. I'm already planning another one. I never thought I'd say that given how stressful planning these is, but that was just awesome." - Doug
My performances strike a balance between rational scepticism and creating a sense of wonder by producing impossible feats. My effects can be seen as metaphorical for the beauty of the mind and all that comes with it: reason, logic, creativity, emotion.
My goal is to trigger the emotional response that one would expect to experience should a human with my "powers" actually exist: uneasiness and fear. I have had people tell me that it would be frightening to be my wife since I am able to read minds. While I am quick to point out that I do not actually possess any sort of super-natural powers, I smile when I achieve that reaction because it means that my performance felt real.
That is what I can bring to your event. An experience that feels real. One that will never be forgotten by you or your guests.
The more I perform the more demand there is for my performances. I feel extremely fortunate that the response to my act has been so strong, but I also know that it is the product of hard work, dedication and a passion for what I do. All of this results in my schedule being extremely busy. I suggest that you book me today for your event, even if it is not for another 6 months. Simply because demand for my performances is high and we both want to make sure that I will be available for your event. If you put off booking me, I may not be available.
