Los Angeles Magician 2
Born in Chapel Hill, N.,C, raised in Ohio and now hiding out in the concrete mountains of L.A., long and lanky (6´8” without boots and hat), this Los Angeles Magician is the hilarious Tall Teller of Tales. A good old fashioned performer in a new fangled world (and he claims to be the three time winner of the Las Vegas Liars Festival!)
This wry and witty western wizard is also a humorist, storyteller, folk artist (sculptor of grand and bizarre cartoon-like ceramic pieces), and a musician ( 5 string Appalachian style old timey mountain banjo).
This Los Angeles Magician has performed over 16,000 shows in the past 39 years, from circus mud show to shiny T.V. A graduated of Ringling Bros. Clown College, he has tickled funnybones all across the U.S., Canada and the Caribbean.
He is best know for his comedy mixed with sleight of hand. As a comic, this Los Angeles Magician is unique, CLEAN, and entertaining! He has an amazingly well defined character, with silly stories and quick, funny jokes about his unique family, strange Grandfather, 3 wives, his misadventures with pets, and his bizarre comedy travels.
As a folksy gentleman magician, he accompanies each delightful and simple close up miracle with relaxing fun stories, while his patter and nifty sleights seem to flow for him just as easily as falling off a log.
1st Place Grand Prize Winner of the 2009 Strolling Magic Olympics at Hollywood’s famed Magic Castle.
One of the most frequently hired performers at the Magic Castle.
