Chris, a native of Lansing, Michigan, has been performing magic professionally for 15 years.  As a young child, he was instantly enchanted with the magic toys found in the bottom of his cereal boxes.  After that, he couldn't stop himself from learning the tricks of the trade. A lot of kids get into the 'magic phase' and then eventually move on as they grow older.  However, for Chris it stuck and he knew performing was what he wanted to do for the rest of his life.

"People are too busy and can get caught up with their individual, hectic lives.  Our performance allows them to just sit back, relax, and enjoy the entertainment with their friends and family."     - Chris

During his freshman year in high school he traveled to Germany, Italy, and Austria, where he fine-tuned his magic skills on an international audience for the first time.  He recently returned from an eight-month tour at Japan's Dutch theme park, Huis Ten Bosch, located on the Nagasaki Bay.  At the world-renowned resort and theme park, Chris performed five shows a day, six days a week, mesmerizing audiences with his combination of magic, mysticism, and mastery of illusion.  Chris entertained audiences throughout the park, including on the De Haar dinner cruise, where he did table-to-table strolling magic including card and coin tricks.  At the larger stage shows, jaws dropped and eyes widened when Chris performed levitations, vanishings, and even cut a few people in half.

"Magic is beyond any language barrier.  You don't have to speak any certain language to enjoy the excitement that magic brings.  It's amazing."     - Chris

 

Ryan, a native of Edwardsburg, Michigan, has been performing magic professionally for 15 years.  Ryan's interest in magic began at the age of five when he received a magic kit for his birthday.  After that he was definitely hooked on the art!  Ryan saw a magic special on television, featuring Master Magician Lance Burton, that had a dramatic effect on him.  Ryan could not believe his eyes as ladies vanished and doves appeared out of thin air.  He decided he would also add live animals in his act.  Currently, Ryan magically produces twelve trained doves and a Cockatoo during the performance.

"Working with live animals adds a unique element to the production. A lot of time and hard work go into the training and care for the animals. But in the end, sharing the stage with those beautiful creatures is extremely rewarding."     - Ryan

 Ryan recently graduated with honors from Michigan State University with a degree in Technical Theatre.


"Magic is something unique, it's an opportunity to spend time with your family away from the television.  The young are completely enthralled, while the older crowd is brought back to their own childhood."     - Ryan
