Originally from Green Bay, Wisconsin, John became interested in magic as a child when he saw someone make a coin vanish into thin air. Immediately, he began to read up on magic and use his newfound knowledge to entertain his family and friends.

John became a professional magician at the age of 15, appearing at the H.C. Prange department store as The Magic Magician of Christmas. After this engagement, John began performing at his high school and at small, local shows.

In 1980, John graduated with a degree in Marketing and Sales from the Northeast Wisconsin Technical Institute. He continued to refine his magic and performance skills over the next two decades, and performing as The Master Magician and Mr. Hocus the Clown is now his full-time job.
