What do you like about this subject? I have been performing as a full time professional since April 7, 2002. Before that I was a semi- pro for 5 years. Currently I am perfoming almost exclusivly for children and family audiences. I am working my way into the corporate close up world. Haveing a degree in theatre arts with a consentration in acting, developing character is a specialty.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? I someday hope to produce a show combining magic, acting, puppeteering, and circus arts.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: Magic is the second oldest performing art. There are magician figures in every culture through out history.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject Magic exposure is the newest controversy in the art. As with any art there is always some from of controversy.
