He was born on September 16, 1956 in New Jersey. He picked up magic at 8 and began performing professionally at 12. By the age of 16, he was already teaching magic at New York University. In 1977, he was chosen to host a TV show, The Magic of ABC. The show was a huge success, and made him known to the whole world. He understands his craft more than any other magician before him. He said, “Before there can be wonders, there must be wonder.” Where others think, “It can’t be done,” he always says, “Yes, it can.” With this attitude, he never stops amazing people with magic. But the greatest work he thinks he has done is Project Magic. This is a project established in March 1982 to help disabled patients. Every year, he performs over 550 shows and has created many box office records. His love for magic is everything to him. And to those who want to become great magicians, he gave this advice: “Practise, practise, practise, and never consider anything impossible.” Do you know who he is now? Call 202-983-2476 to tell us the name of this magician, and you will get a DVD of his shows.2015-5-4。
