Sharing a moment of magic.
Over the course of my career, I’ve performed magic in theaters, boardrooms, ballrooms, comedy clubs, and high-end venues across the world. But some of the most meaningful shows I’ve ever done haven’t taken place under spotlights or on red carpets—they’ve happened in hangars, tents, and makeshift stages on military bases in over 50 countries.
I perform for the military because I believe in giving something back to the men and women who serve. They sign up to put themselves in harm’s way to protect freedom and stability—not just here at home, but around the world. What I do might not save lives, but for a moment, I can offer something else that’s powerful: wonder, laughter, connection, and a break from the stress that comes with the uniform.
A Legacy of Service
My connection to the military isn’t just professional—it’s personal.
Both of my grandfathers served our country—one in the Air Force and one in the Navy. Growing up, I was captivated by their stories of courage, camaraderie, and sacrifice. Their examples made a deep impression on me. For a long time, I dreamed of enlisting myself and continuing that legacy of service.
But life had a different plan.
Because I was born with Tourette Syndrome, joining the military wasn’t an option. That reality was difficult to accept. I wanted to serve. I wanted to contribute. I wanted to be part of something bigger than myself. Eventually, I realized that while I couldn’t wear the uniform, I could still support those who do—by bringing them moments of levity, wonder, and connection through the art of magic.
A Different Kind of Audience
Performing for the troops is unlike any other show I do. These audiences come from every walk of life, every background, and every rank. Some are weary from long deployments. Others are fresh out of training. But when the show starts, something special happens—there’s a shift in energy. Walls come down. They become kids again, if only for a few minutes.
There’s nothing quite like seeing a hardened Marine do a double take when a poker chip vanishes from my hand and reappears on his buddy’s shoulder. Or watching a service member who hasn’t laughed in weeks break into a smile because a playing card magically changed right in the palm of his hand. Those moments matter. They’re why I keep going back.
A Mission That Found Me
My mission to serve through magic grew out of my own life experience. Living with Tourette Syndrome taught me what it means to struggle in silence. It taught me about resilience, about grit, and about the importance of staying connected to purpose—lessons I see reflected in so many of the military personnel I meet.
I’ve always believed magic is about more than tricks—it’s about transformation. It’s about showing someone that the impossible might just be possible after all. That message hits differently in a place where people are carrying burdens few of us can truly understand.
Magic as a Morale Booster
When I step onto a military base, I’m not just there to entertain—I’m there to connect. I’ve learned that magic can be a bridge. It can start conversations, break tension, and create moments of joy in places where joy is rare. Whether I’m in the Middle East, Europe, Asia, or right here at home, I approach every performance with the same mindset: This matters.
Because it does.
This June, I’ll be heading out once again—this time to the Middle East—to perform for service members stationed far from home. It’s another opportunity to bring a little light into some of the world’s most remote and challenging environments. I don’t take that responsibility lightly.
These shows remind me why I fell in love with performing in the first place. They ground me. They humble me. And they remind me that the real magic isn’t always in the cards or the coins—it’s in the people.
Grateful to Serve Those Who Serve
If you’ve ever worn the uniform, or supported someone who has, thank you. It’s an honor to be able to give a small piece of light to those who carry so much on their shoulders.
And to every service member who’s ever laughed at a joke, smiled at a trick, or helped me carry my gear off the makeshift stage—you’re the reason I do what I do.
