I am a skilled make-up artist having plied the
trade for more years than I'll admit to. I have
done stage make-up, movie make-up, horror make-up,
haunted house make-up, triage make-up and a few
other esoteric forms.

|
I am skilled in many forms of magic. I am
comfortable working close-up magic with both cards
and coins. Additionally, I have many smaller props
that work well in the close-up arena. I have more
than enough props and skill to perform a "knock
your socks off" midrange show and am comfortable
doing so. While I have the skills and knowledge
needed to put on a stage show, I have neither
props nor people needed. However, if the event is
known about far enough ahead of time, this is not
a problem either as I can build or acquire the
needed props and train the needed people.

|
I am skilled at reading; Runes, Rune Cards, Tarot
Cards, the gypsy system for the 52 Card deck as
well as doing more esoteric reading such a
palmistry. I am willing to dress accordingly or to
work in modern clothing.
|
|
I am capable of performing all of the basic
working side-show acts except sword swallowing.
The reason that I can not swallow swords is
strictly medical. I have props ready to go for
"The Human Blockhead," "The Nail Board" and "Fire
Eating." I can get props for the other acts as
needed.

I have been eating fire since the early 1980's,
and have been eating fire with a very full beard
since 1996. I keep my beard trimmed in what is
commonly called a Victorian American style. While
I no longer burst fire balls, I have appeared on
television and at Ripley's Key Wet Odditorium
performing as America's Premier Fully Bearded Fire
Eater.

I am a skilled story teller having learned the art
at my Grandfather's knee. I tell stories and tales
from the folklore and history of Pennsylvania as
well as from other traditions, including
Celtic/Irish, Military Folklore, The Great Oil
Era, Circus/Sideshow etc.
