Magic
I’ve been into magic since I was 4 years old. When I figured out I could do the two things I’ve loved longest — magic and writing — in one breath, it felt like coming home. This is a small selection of the work I’ve done in the space.
Projects
I have worked as a consultant and producer on a variety of magic projects, from live stage productions to TV series.
Genii Magazine – Editor at Large, Feature Writer, Profile Writer
Penn & Teller: Fool Us – Associate Package Producer, Season 7
Tricked – Magic Assistant on Universal Kids TV Show (case study coming soon)
Writing
My magic writing includes profiles, reported features, interviews, short essays, and more.
