when i first got into magic i had only seen one magician i thought was real, Cardini (i had seen him on tv).

all the rest seemed fake, until i met doug conn, and from there i was introduced to more artistic and real ones like Cellini, Eric Evans, Tom Frank and the list now goes on to so many others i have been privledged to meet.

Nickey is one of those guys.

I think Nickey is the shining star in our faternaty's cap. when i started the instructional blog for street magi, Nickey was exactly the type of guy i was thinkin about.

someone from a small out of the way place in the midwest who had little to no contact with information or masters in the field, who was looking for a future in magic.

one day i got a letter from him telling me he had read my blog and began working in thailand after moving there on his own from the midwest of the u.s.

next thing i knew he just exploded on the scene. a huge success. he started out building a double decker bicycle and road accross asia and performed magic in cities and little villages.

he toured the sidewalks of europe and made a huge impact on the busking scene there.

came back to the states and worked here, while visitinbg family.

nickey is superman, nothing can stop him.

he is constantly on t.v. in asia and has met almost all of the masters.

in my opinion he is the biggest and quickest success story out there.

ironically he is the most humble of all the performers i know.




This guy can clean up with impeccable costuming and play t.v. and exclusive caberet/theater or he can throw on street costuming and work street plazas and squares or even little doorways.

he works for millionars and dignitaries and he works for 3rd world peasants. his show plays in any culture from asia to europe to the states....big city or small town u.s.a.

Nickey is the one the masters talk about.

he can work silent or spoken.





he creates his own routines and equipment and props.

he didn't copy someone elses show and go out there to hustle people like so many american performers do.

He didn't have to, he is pure talent and a real artist,

he just did what he was born to do and the universe handled the rest.

i am greatful that i got to see a man like this in my life time.

He re-establishes my faith in magicians and in our industry.

i don't think our industry knows how much we need guys like this and that's why i have posted this here.

the reason i have not posted this earier is because he was so humble he kept telling me he didn't think he deserved to be put up here.....the fact is i'm honored he even gives me the time of day.


thank you Nickey for your lifes work, i know you worked harder than most.

your pal jimmy
