Understatement.


A number of agents call on me to do things outside of my bailiwick.
If they need something done and they're not sure if or how it can be pulled off - they call me. Keeps life exciting - I never know what's coming.
(I'm a magician, not a psychic)

Besides my experience as an entertainer, (see partial summary in The Pitch) I was both other ranks and then an officer in the Canadian Infantry, an alligator wrestler, a patented inventor, a knight in a jousting/swordfighting show, a martial artist. . . I've even fallen off the Matterhorn (which I never put on my resumes). I have a reputation of being adaptable.

Sometimes people ask me not to do any tricks at all. For Hilton at CMITS (Canadian Meeting and Incentive Travel Symposium ) Toronto  I portrayed Regis Philbin and hosted clients through
"Who wants to be a Hiltonaire?"
The year before I was their banker in Hiltonopoly.

For Tim Hortons "Oh want a grind" convention, themed on their Columbian coffee, I portrayed a Ricardo Montalban style  M/C - Dressed in a white bolero and Panama hat, serenading the ladies (yes , in Spanish) and introducing the Latin dancers.

For Choice Hotels Rock & Roll Tailgate Party I was M/C introducing Gladys Knight, the Doobie Brothers and the Temptations, and taking all 4,000 people at the Sky Dome through the Macarena. No, I don't want to talk about it.

At a Meeting Planners International Event I was both a Close-up Magician during cocktail hour and then later I was the Ringmaster M/C . After the event the organizer received compliments on both the Magician and the Ringmaster not realizing that both were the same person. No make-up was used. Only the personas and the clothes were different.

I enjoy the diversity and new challenges so if you have a gauntlet - throw down.
