TV Mentalist Appears on Hallmark Channel
Once again, can I say I love my job?!
My 20+ years as a mentalist and magician have presented me with incredible and unique opportunities! While I thought my career had peaked in 2012 on stage at America’s Got Talent, I’ve had multiple amazing experiences in just the last few years that I wouldn’t trade for anything. A couple that comes to mind are the Paddle boat cruise and the University of Washington basketball halftime performances.

I received a call from the producers of the movie, “Fashionably Yours” about a week before filming was set to begin. They had already approached a few local area magicians about the project, but once they heard my idea for the perfect illusion for the scene, they had their man!
Filming lasted about four hours and involved multiple takes. What comes across on screen as a warm Spring day was actually a chilly 40-degree day in February. Those of us in the scene found it very convenient that the illusion involved fire!
While filming the scene was truly a fun and rewarding experience, some of my favorite memories from that day involve the downtime with the cast and crew. The stars of the film, Kat Graham and Kendrick Sampson were wonderful to work with. I enjoyed performing mentalist illusions for several members of the cast and crew during down time.
While Seattle is the setting for the movie, most of it was filmed in British Columbia, Canada. They shot for only two days in Seattle, and I am very happy to have been a part of it!
