The Miracle Worker

Introducing my newest illusion, "The Miracle Worker."

Sometimes when creating an illusion, it goes through many developmental stages, including script changes, handling and overall feel of the effect. 

This illusion is the one that I have spent countless hours and long nights on and the "agony and the ecstasy" are not only yielding a reward, but also really making crowds believe in miracles. It is quickly becoming the centerpiece of my show Intimate Illusions and one of my favorites to perform. A great story, incredibly visual magic and a fantastic ending.

I sometimes do not believe what is happening is actually really happening. Maybe there are people in this world who can perform real miracles. Isn't this what magic is all about?

Click here to listen to the score, my talented cellist plays for "The Miracle Worker."
