Physical Characteristics
Meet the Act
I first fell in love with magic at ten years old after seeing David Copperfield make the Statue of Liberty disappear on television. As a shy Filipino kid, magic gave me a way to connect with people, build confidence, and—most importantly—make my mom smile. That simple joy turned into a lifelong passion.
Since then, I’ve been fortunate to perform around the world, from intimate private gatherings to the legendary Magic Castle in Hollywood, where I became the 2025 Strolling Showdown Champion. What I love most is that magic allows me to bring people together—no matter their background or
... age—for a shared moment of wonder and laughter.
When I’m not on stage, I’m a proud dad to three boys—Lennon, Asher, and Sebastian—who inspire me every day to keep chasing dreams and creating magical memories.
