I am a full time professional magician with over 30 years of experience and over 15 years working as a full time pro. I will walk you through each and every step making sure that you not only understand how to perform a specific sleight or magic trick but WHY you do the particular moves or scripting when you do. I have a BFA in Theater Arts and use my training to help you understand the performance element of magic. Even if you are only performing for one friend, a well performed trick is better than and poorly performed one.

I’m internationally recognized for my work as a voice actor, heard on numerous movie trailers for a well respected film company. I will carefully listen to what talent you already have and then work with you one on one to develop your vocal, breathing, and speech patterns, preparing you to reach your goals in the competitive industry of voice acting. Whether you are a beginner or more than a beginner, and want to earn money narrating audiobooks, land a position in radio broadcasting, or seek a career performing voices for the animation or video game industries, I can help you improve your skills and increase your confidence.

And while it may be a while before things are totally back to normal, that makes these next few months a perfect opportunity to get yourself as well-prepared as possible for when auditions and productions resume. We may have spent our downtime mostly binge-watching The Great British Baking Show or learning to knit, but many of us also used the extra free time to tackle house pro …
