      • HOVERBOARD!!!
        07/20/10


        Today is a day that I've been working toward for a very long time. A little over 10 years ago I came up with an idea for an original illusion called the Hoverboard. It was based on the flying skateboard called a "Hoverboard" seen in the popular movie Back to the Future. I

        07/14/10
        My team and I have been adding many new illusions to our show over the past few months. Some of these effects have been in the works for many years.

        It's very rewarding seeing these illusions finally hit the stage to be performed in front of live audiences. You can only practice in

        We finished our final show of the season this past Friday night at the Capital Theatre at the Overture Center in Madison, WI. It was one heck of a way to send this banner season out in style! I honestly feel it was the best performance we've ever done! Thank you to everyone who ca

        Wooooooooo!! How's everyone out there doing?! We've been having one heck of a wild ride over the past few weeks. As I mentioned in my last post we recently did 5 shows in 3 days. I think I'm still recovering. I don't think we had one night with more than 4-5 hours of straight sle

        After our shows on Friday and Saturday in Springfield, MA, we immediately took off for our overnight drive to Wilmington, DE. The GPS had us getting in just after 4am and our load in at the theatre was at 7am! It wasn't too bad of a drive and we got to see the NYC skyline as we dro

        11/23/09


        I had the pleasure of performing at City Stage in Springfield, MA, over the weekend. We made the long journey from Milwaukee to perform for a total of 3 shows. All I can say is that the place rocked! It was a different stage style than we are used to performing on but it was so cool! Us

        This past weekend I took a much deserved vacation with my fiance' and her family. For our quick 4 day getaway we decided to head up to Wisconsin Dells to take in some sun and water slides. We were fortunate to have plenty of both. We stayed at the Chula Vista Resort and had a blast

        08/13/09


        We just capped off our summer tour with a SOLD OUT performance at the Metropolis Performing Arts Center. I know everyone is wondering...but Superman wasn't there. I think he had a date.

        The Metropolis is located just outside of Chicago and is truly a remarkable facility.

        Took a trip to northern Wisconsin for the annual hog wrestling tournament that is held there. It's honestly one of the craziest events I've ever been to! It's not everyday you see a group of grown men dressed up like Umpa Lumpa's from Willie Wonka!

        My team and I have been working very hard lately on some new illusions that have been in the works for a long time. The process of creating new magic and getting it to the stage is a very long one. It all starts with an idea and takes off from there. We take those ideas and sit around and have lengt

        As many of you know I'm from Wisconsin. Holla to the chedda! There is a rumor out there that we're working on a levitating cow illusion for the show.
