Professional Entertainer, Magician and Illusionist
|
| |
When Gary was 12,
he invited 20 friends into his garage, charged
10 cents a head and locked the garage door
so they couldn't escape.
He spent the next hour performing illusions
he'd learned from library books. |

Show business was in his blood. His mother was
a singer and dancer and his father a drummer in
his own orchestra. But it was the famous escape
artist, Harry Houdini, that set him on the road
to magic. After seeing the Houdini movie, starring
Tony Curtis, he was determined to be just like the
master illusionist. Add to that, just across the
Canadian border from his hometown of Niagara Falls,
NY sat the Harry Houdini Museum. Now you have the
makings of a magician!
Barely a teenager, he had the good fortune of meeting
one of Houdini's illusion builders. He taught Gary
how to build and perform some of the same illusions
he had built for Houdini. He began performing these
and his own original illusions during high school
and college.
Gary continues to relentlessly sharpen and expand
his skills in the three major categories of magic;
Sleight-of-Hand
Magic, Stage
Magic, and
Grand Illusion. This degree of tenacity has
taken him around the world performing for the most
discriminating audiences.
He recently had the pleasure of performing for Celine
Dion, Regis Philbin,
Chevy Chase, Mike Wallace and the incomparable Muhammed
Ali. Other celebrities Gary has performed for: Jackie
Mason, Donny and Marie Osmond, David Steinberg,
Milton Berle, Smothers Brothers, Stone Phillips,
Chris Evert and Nick Nolte.
In recognition of his rare magical accomplishments,
Gary was presented with the coveted "Order
of Merlin" award. The leading organization
for professional magicians, The International Brotherhood
of Magicians, presented him the award in recognition
of his outstanding performance record.
Gary professional
entertainment services include a variety of
shows for a variety of budgets. He loves exceeding
his clients expectations
and making the person who hired him look like a
hero.
