A decorated veteran in the field of magic, Ryan has performed all
over the US, including shows in Las Vegas, Hollywood, and at The White
House. In 1990, he became the youngest person ever to win the Society of
American Magician's National Magic Competition, one of the highest
honors in magic. He has been featured in such publications as The New
York Times, the Indianapolis Star, the Stamford Advocate, and Kid City
magazine, and has been seen on “Good Day New York,” CNN’s “Sonya Live,”
and the Disney Channel’s “Mickey Mouse Club”. Now based in New York,
Ryan performs primarily at private and corporate functions throughout
the east coast, having worked for clients including PepsiCo, American
Express, Bloomberg, CitiGroup, Intel, Cap Gemini Ernst & Young, and
Reuters. He has performed abroad in London, Canada, and even the Cayman
Islands. In August of 2003, he worked for the NFL in Tokyo as part of a
four day event promoting the American Bowl.
Ryan prides himself on his unique style of presentation, an entertaining
blend of expert sleight-of-hand and situational comedy. His interactive
approach engages viewers and makes them part of the magic... whether
it's a card metamorphosizing into another card right in their hands or
their watch dramatically moving to a freely selected time. His magic is
also diverse in nature, often utilizing items as common as a borrowed
dollar bill or as weird as dental floss. Whatever the medium, Ryan
guarantees a fun and memorable experience for those who watch him work.
Periodically, Ryan works as a magic consultant, where he leverages his
magic knowledge to achieve client goals in projects ranging from
theatrical productions to corporate sales presentations. Most recently,
Ryan worked with Las Vegas icons Siegfried & Roy to create several
interactive magic effects for their new web site.
A native of Stamford, CT, Ryan also holds a BA in Psychology from the
University of Pennsylvania.

"Our Grand Opening Event on June 5, 2003 required executive-level
customer entertainment. The magician that was provided was simply
excellent. He was extremely interactive with the group, his tricks were
amazing and he kept all guests entertained. He had the perfect
personality for our group and was attentive, outgoing and polished. His
ability to keep the crowd entertained with a broad range of quality
tricks was excellent and he was not only personable but professional
with the audience. We would, without hesitation, use him for any events
requiring entertainment in the NY area and I would highly recommend him
to others looking for entertainment options for both business and
personal functions. Everyone loved him!" -- T-Systems US

"We hired Ryan to perform at Cap Gemini Ernst & Young's New York
area company picnic. It was a family event, so it was important to
entertain the kids of all ages. Ryan's magic was the hit of the day!
His walk-around card tricks added his personal touch and the big show
for the kids put a smile on everyone's face. We're definitely bringing
Ryan back next year!" --
