Masters Gallery

What is a Master Magician? A Master Magician is one who has repeatedly demonstrated that they have mastered the three basic forms of magic, close-up, stage and large scale illusion. A Master Magician usually is born and not made, and in the opinion of the great Fu Manchu, son of Okito, takes at least 20 years to develop. A certain amount of international travel usually goes along with the career of a Master. We agree. The men and women that are represented on this page are unique, but by no means the only Masters. There are many more as this page is ever-evolving. Welcome!
