Notes suck. Direction sucks. Advice sucks. Especially if you have a frail ego. But all of it is necessary if you want to grow as a performer or as a person. The only way to get better is to seek advice from peers in your field that you respect…and for that matter, even those you don't respect.

Watch as four award-winning magicians battle it out onstage for your love, your votes, and your cash. Each performer presents their own unique style of illusion. At the end of the show, audience members vote for their favorite magician and favorite show title! The winning magician takes home all the glory and a big cash prize!

I'll be performing at the Magic Castle all this week! Show times are 10:15, 11:15 and 12:30.

I think a lot about quitting. Mainly because I'm a wimp and this job can be tough sometimes. On the surface it's glamorous; nice hotels, see the world, making people happy. But there is a mental tax to only being as good as your next show. I sometimes envy film actors in that sense. They do a take ten or twenty times, and then the performance is out of their hands.

I’m a week late, but that’s what happens when you are currently living in a country that doesn't have a national rodent themed holiday. That said, Groundhog Day is a treasured day in my family. The first official Groundhog Day celebration took place on February 2, 1887, in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania.

You can’t explain timing. Timing in the sense of being at the right place, at the right time, and being ready. Since 2007 I wanted to be a Blue Man. It was my calling. I was obsessed with the show and had convinced myself that I was right for it; I was a drummer. I studied mime. And I loved non verbal comedy. “Why wouldn't they want me?” I’d often think to myself.
