Interests

  • General

    I have had a lifelong interest in Magic; escape artist Harry Houdini; and side-show stunts & performers.

    I am a member of the Magic Castle in Hollywood, Ca.

    I was the 1st place winner in both of the Padlock and Handcuff Lock-Picking Contests, held during the October 2005 Escape Artist Convention in Ontario, Ca.

    My interest in Houdini has led to my personal collection of numerous prison locks/keys and over 300 pairs of handcuffs from all over the world...a large number which are currently on display at the LAPD Police Museum in Highland Park, Ca.

    Featured on TLC's "The Greatest-Houdini" Documentary (1998)

    One of the rarer handcuffs from my collection has been continuously on public display since 1999 - as part of a 8 year nation-wide tour of "Magic: The Science Of Illusion".
