WELCOME TO MY WORLD
Extraordinary magic. Unforgettable memories.
And so much more still to come.
THE MAN BEHIND THE MAGIC
Whether you first saw me on tour, in Las Vegas, or sharing the stage with our incredible tigers and elephant, I’m glad you’re here.
For me, the best part of magic is the moment we share: that feeling when the impossible suddenly seems possible. Those moments stay with us long after the curtain comes down.
I’m grateful to have been named Magician of the Year in 2024 and inducted into the Magicians Hall of Fame in 2025. What makes those honors meaningful is the journey behind them, and the family, team, and audiences who have shared it with me.
I’ve taken a break from performing to create a new show that has been on my heart and mind for over a decade. I can’t wait to share what comes next with you. This is a place to keep that connection alive, celebrate the memories, and invite you into the next chapter.
LIFE BEYOND THE STAGE
My wife. My teammate.
Part of the next chapter.
Many of you have followed my family and our magic for years. Now, I’m excited to introduce you to someone who is such an important part of my life - my wife, Melessa.
We married in 2024, and I love the life we’re building together. Melessa is an amazing wife and mother with a beautiful soul, a generous heart, and a strength that inspires me every day. We make a great team, and I’m looking forward to sharing more of our adventures with you, both onstage and off.
As I create the next chapter of my magic, I’m grateful to have her beside me. I can’t wait for you to get to know her.
OUR TIGERS · ALWAYS PART OF THE STORY
Our tigers and elephant were an unforgettable part of my life and the experiences we shared with audiences. For many of you, those memories are part of your own story, too.
Today, our animals are enjoying a well-deserved sabbatical in an amazing sanctuary. I look forward to sharing favorite photographs and stories with you here.
Shekinah and Sheena were far more than part of our show-like all of our Tigers they were beloved members of our family. They lived long, extraordinary lives surrounded by love and left us with memories we will treasure forever. This short film is a loving vision of one more walk together-and of them now running free in Heaven.
THE NEXT CHAPTER
A little closer.
A little more personal.
A whole new sense of wonder.
I’m developing a new, intimate magic experience in Las Vegas designed to bring you closer to the wonder than ever before. It’s still in development, and I look forward to sharing more as plans become official.
A venue and opening date have not been announced. There are no tickets on sale at this time.

THE FAMILY · THEN & NOW
Many of you watched my kids grow up onstage. You cheered them on, met them after shows, and became part of our family’s story.
They’re building lives and adventures of their own now, and I’m excited to let them share a little of what they’ve been up to. Some things have changed, but those memories - and our gratitude for you - remain.
WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
My oldest daughter, Kelli, and her husband, Taylor, live in Utah, where they’ve built a beautiful family with six children and now one grandchild. This year, they’re preparing for an exciting new chapter as they make plans to travel the world and create even more memories together.
WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
My son John married his Bozeman sweetheart, Reeba, and they now call New York City home. John is a vice president at Goldman Sachs, while Reeba is building her career there as an analyst. Even from across the country, John remains actively involved in our family business. Together, he and Reeba are enjoying this exciting chapter of their lives and looking forward to starting a family of their own.
WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
Like me, my son Peter met his wife, Gala, in Las Vegas. They are building an exciting life together there, where Peter continues to develop his skills in the art of escapes for our upcoming show. Drawing on his experience as a pilot and his passion for aviation, Peter and Gala have also launched Ascend Jet Care, a growing aircraft-care business they are building together.
WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
My daughter Juliana also found love in Las Vegas, where she met her husband, William. They were married this summer and are now building their life together in the city that rarely sleeps. William works in corporate food and beverage, while Juliana works in special events and remains actively involved in our family business. Together, they are looking forward to starting a family of their own.
WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
My youngest daughter, Christina, is a senior at UNLV in Las Vegas and will soon graduate with a degree in hospitality. She is already gaining valuable experience at Four Seasons, and her talent and passion are opening the door to a promising career in luxury hotel management. Christina also remains involved in our family business, and her love of travel continues to inspire her dreams for the future.
WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
My son Sebastian helped make the magic happen in Las Vegas, both onstage and behind the curtain. With a natural talent for all things technical and mechanical, he now works for one of the city’s largest climate-control companies, where he works on major installations and programming for some of Las Vegas’s largest facilities. Sebastian remains involved in our family business, continuing to bring the same skill, creativity, and problem-solving ability that helped bring our shows to life.
ALWAYS IN OUR HEARTS
Susan will always be part of our family’s story. She was an amazing wife and mother. Many of you knew and loved her, and when we lost her in 2009, you surrounded our family with kindness, prayers, and support.
We have never forgotten that love. We miss her so much, and as we share new chapters of our lives, we also honor her memory and the place she will always hold in our hearts.
ALWAYS IN OUR HEARTS
AJ, a beloved son, will always hold a special place in our hearts and in our family’s story. Though many of you never had the opportunity to know him, sharing this chapter of our lives also means honoring his memory. He is deeply loved! His life matters, his memory is cherished, and he has an amazing soul. He will always be remembered with so much love.
