He was in the top ten most Googled people after his legendary America's Got Talent appearance and has starred in his own award-winning off- Broadway show in Times Square, New York City.

THE TRICKSTER Is the host of Las Vegas and is the epitome of glamour and showmanship. He leaves audiences laughing long after the curtain goes down. Don't be fooled by his innocent appearance. The Trickster will get you every time...!

THE GENTLEMEN has been one of the most influential magicians of the past decade, bringing his fantastic illusions to casinos, performing arts centers, television shows and his own experimental theater in Reno, Nevada, The Magic Underground.

THE ENCHANTRESS A unique blend of elegance and theatricality of Jinger Leigh has redefined the role of the magician. Being a modern witch in an ancient art, Jinger has captivated fans around the world. Toured with artists such as The Beach Boys, Tony Bennett and Cab Callaway. The results were magical in every sense of the word, combining the art of dance with illusion to produce and perform unique illusions.

THE MENTALIST the world of mind readers, the paranormal and psychics is one which has divided us for as long as it has intrigued us. "Peoples' beliefs fascinate me" says the British / Swiss mind-meddler. "Human beings can all too quickly abandon common sense and adopt any old belief, as long as it makes them feel better about something. I find that very interesting."

THE INVENTOR Is one of today's most ground breaking and innovative illusionists. His illusions and magic acts are also performed by other stars from David Copperfield to Nicholas Cage in the Hollywood film Adaptation. He is an inventor, comedian and collector of the strange and unusual... He believes he has a responsibility to remind people of that state of awe and wonder they felt as a child. Whether he's holding a rose or swinging a chain saw, anything is possible with The Inventor.

THE ESCAPOLOGIST Is Italy's star escape artist and is fast becoming one of the world's favorite illusionists. His hero is Harry Houdini and his thrilling escapes take place under water, 150 feet in the air and everywhere in between. Explosives, water boxes, handcuffs, chains, padlocks, strait jackets, cars bursting into flames... his escapes place him within seconds of life and death and have audiences all over Europe and North America frozen in suspense and disbelief. You'll never catch The Escapologist.
