Tony grew up in a small own in Iowa. His first exposure to magic was watching "The World's Greatest Magic" programs on the TV. He loved learning all the tricks they taught the viewers at home. It got him interested enough he went down to his local library and checked out the one and only magic book they had. Later on in life Tony and his family too a trip to Las Vegas, NV. Just by chance, one day he and his Mother walked into a convenience store / magic shop. The magic shop was just this small area at the back of the convenience store. There the salesman/magician showed Tony and his Mother some of the staple tricks of magic: Disappearing Silk, Floating Dollar Bill, Sponge Balls, Crazy Man's Handcuffs and more. So after some begging Tony's Mom bought him the "DELUXE MAGIC SET" and the rest is history. Now later on in his life Tony is not a professional magician. As a matter of fact he owns a web design firm. Instead he is a magic enthusiast. He loves to learn and entertain.
