I've been performing magic since I was ten years old. After college, I taught photography at UMass Amherst, taught guitar, made guitars, wrote music books and children books, published short stories, and now I am a full-time magician.

Once I discovered that magic was my real passion, I left my other hobbies behind and traveled around the world performing magic. In many countries, I found that an interpreter wasn't unnecessary -- the magic is a universal language that speaks for itself.

I live in Belchertown, Massachusetts, and am one of two full-time magicians in Western Mass. The emphasis of my show is on humor as well as mystery. I choose volunteers from the audience as my assistants. My shows are appropriate to the age group of the audience. I perform for schools, blue and gold banquets, company picnics, and private birthday parties. I perform on the corporate level by doing trade shows, hospitality suites, and client functions. At trade shows, I demonstrate the client's product using magic. Presenting it in this way, their client is more likely to remember the company.

I have been performing at School Shows and Birthday Parties with Rufus for the last ten years. He is a rabbit with an attitude. He calls it "Rabbit-Tude!". He causes mayhem and basically takes over the show. In addition to pulling my suspenders, telling silly jokes, and exaggerating stories about his fishing skills, he likes to finish by playing music. He has been known to play everything from children's songs to rock and roll. Lately he's taken to forming Conga Lines, with the kids following him to the music. All in all, it's a fun, comedy-based magic show for kids of all ages.
