When sam was 16 a retiring clown gave him a suitcase full of magic props, saying that he had the gift to entertain, not knowing quite where it would take him Sam became interested in magic and pursued clowning.  Upon graduating High school Sam pursued magic vigorously.

This led him to meet world-renowned illusionist Toby Travis in 1989 who at the time had the 3rd largest touring illusion show in the USA. Touring with Toby throughout the United States, Sam learned many of the secrets to putting on a professional stage show. At the completion of the tours Sam set out to design his own show.  He wanted a show like no other and had many unique ideas to apply to his show.   Sam decided to lose the clown outfit and make up, and embrace who he was. His new clothes would now have to portray his energy and personality that he will be introducing to each show. 

Having custom made suits in electric colors complete with his trademark gold sneakers,  Sam is now making magic history with the 2nd greatest show on earth---ok maybe the 3rd.

Over the past 18 years Sam has mystified audiences as large as 12 thousand in attendance. Sam has performed over 2,000 live shows including an eight week run at the Tropicana casino and resort. He now performs regularly at the Academy of Music, and recently appeared on Network TV. Sam has also performed throughout the country and abroad. Sam teaches magic at several performing arts camps, including 3 years at the Famed Julian Krinsty camps and programs. Sam has developed educational programs such as "self-esteem" and "Literacy" programs that have played in hundreds of schools, daycares and after school programs. Sam has been said to be a great communicator and this has helped him in teaching literally thousands of children and adults magic, juggling, clowning, and entertaining. Sam also has developed many church programs.  Sam has been aked to lecture and perform for his peers at many magic conventions and for the Society of young Magicians, this is truly an honor to perform and lecture for your peers.

These days you will find Sam and his assistant traveling around the country from Montana to Puerto Rico and every where in between. He presents several versions of his spectacular full stage show REALITY & ILLUSION, with 90 minutes of outstanding comedy, jaw-dropping illusions, outstanding comedy, special effects, outstanding comedy, audience participation and of course outstanding comedy. Through his radio, television, and many live appearances Sam has enthralled millions.

His daughter Tessa is the first girl on Sam's side of the family in over 100 years.    (It took a magician.) Sam can not imagine a day with out his daughter, who he loves forever and a day. Daddy loves you Tessa. Sam and his beautiful daughter reside in Pennsylvania.
