Born (April Fool's Day) and raised in South Boston Va. until I joined the U.S. AIR FORCE in 1978. My first Tour of duty was at Osan Air base, Korea. While in Korea, I was able to participate in the filming of a movie called INCHON by One-way Production's! Stars in the movie were Sir Laurence Olivier, David Jansen, Ben Gazzara, Jacqueline Bisset, Richard Roundtree and yours truely. I got the bug for performing at this time, I just didn't know it yet. I left Korea and went to California where I worked as a volunteer for abused children for a number of months. This is when I found out that I had a way with kids, they responded to me! One day I decided to use a magic trick as a way to approach a little girl who had suffered greatly at the hands of an abusive parent. She was scared to death of all adults but she liked magic and she took a liking to me because of the magic. From that point on I used magic every chance I could to help the kids. Soon a lady asked me if I could do her son's birthday party and the next thing I knew I was performing at a couple birthday parties a month. After a while I was making more money working part-time as a magician than I did at my regular job. It took a bit, but finally I saw the light and became a full-time magician. That was about 14 years ago and now I perform at about 350 events: (CORPORATE EVENTS, PRIVATE PARTIES, KID'S EVENTS, ADULT CELEBRATIONS, SCHOOLS, RESTAURANTS, MOVIES, COMMERCIALS, TRADE SHOWS, CONVENTIONS, ETC.) per year in the San Francisco Bay Area.
