Back in the 1970's I worked on many cruise ships with my illusion act. These photos are on the Kungsholm in 1977.

In the late 1970's I had my own medieval illusion show at Shakespeare's Tavern and Playhouse in Blackfriars, London. It ran for about a year. My props were all built by Peter Hart, who was the brother of the well known magician Johnny Hart. The venue was owned by Robert Earl, who was only 29 years old at the time. He went on to be the founder of Planet Hollywood and the Hard Rock cafe amongst other places. You can look him up!! :)
My summer is almost fully booked with shows. Contact me a.s.a.p to avoid disappointment.

Here I am performing my illusion act nightly at the Chateau Madrid nightclub in New York City in 1976. One night, while I was on stage, all the lights went out in New York in the famous blackout that lasted several hours. Now that was one of my most spectacular tricks ever!! :)
