FAQs
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
Ever since I can remember, I wanted to perform for anyone who would watch. My Mom who was my biggest fan and consummate supporter subtly gave me the confidence I needed. So it would stand to reason that when I was on my own, I would give up the idea of becoming a doctor in order to become a starving actress. So there I was following my desire and performing here and there when my agent called and gave me the opportunity to work for 3 weeks as a dancer with some magicians. And then I fell in love...head over heels in love...but not with the magicians but with the Craft. I knew at that moment that I was hooked. I wanted to become a Magician! After the magicians declined to teach me or inform me as to where I could go to learn magic, I became even more determined to get my answer. Thank goodness that tenacity is my middle name because after months of searching, I found "the magic store". I still remember the moment when I walked into this store and stood there with the same exact feeling that I had when I was a kid when I walked into my very first candy store...WOW! And thus began my self-teaching through books as my choice as opposed to DVDs or videos. Welcome to My World of Magic and My Dream.

- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
The most important question a customer should ask of the entertainer is - ask them to be extremly precise in their description of what will be included in the magic show. Too many times I am asked the price and not what kind of magic I do? I understand that the price is a strong consideration, but PLEASE know for what you are paying! And please make certain that the show will be age and ability appropriate!
