Christmas 1974. I received the Jumbo Hocus Pocus Show magic set, and I have been a magician ever since.

 

From that moment on, I spent every chance I could at every library I could get to, soaking up every magic book I could get my hands on. I still have my very first magic set, along with the first few books that set me on my journey.

 

Over the decades, the childhood fascination grew into an extensive collection of magic books, catalogs, and knowledge. In 2022, I began releasing my own original magic effects, which are available at Penguin Magic operating from Columbus, Ohio, serving millions of magicians across more than 150 countries. 

​

What started with a magic set under the Christmas tree has become a lifelong pursuit of creating, performing, collecting and sharing magic.
