Matt The Knife's Interests
|
| General | Well conjuring and the allied arts are pretty high on the list (but that should probably come off as quite the blinding glimpse in to the obvious). Art in the performing sense as well as the more tangible, visual and auditory formats.
| | Music | A Perfect Circle, Frou Frou, Stone Temple Pilots, Jakalope, Citizen Cope, Fleetwood Mac, Imogen Heap, John Lee Hooker... you get the idea. In other words, a rather large variety that pretty much runs the gambit.
| | Movies | I'm a HUGE movie buff and catching a good flick is one of my favorite things to do! Therefore there's simply too many to realistically list here.
| | Television | Nip/Tuck, Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, The Riches, Frisky Dingo, How I Met Your Mother, Venture Brothers, Dead Like Me, Bizarre Foods, South Park, Starved, The Boondocks, Futurama, The Twilight Zone (original version), The Loop, Frasier, Dexter, Psych, Burn Notice, Mad Men
| | Books | All of them! SERIOUSLY, I love to read.
| | Heroes | James Bond... yes I'm well aware of the fact that my hero growing up was a fictional character. But what can I say, what's real isn't always what works.

Matt The Knife's Blurbs |
About me:
I'm the professional entertainer Matt The Knife (MTK for those in the know). My intense variety performances are an absolute blend of the best in Magic, Sideshow, Escapes and Mentalism in order to offer my audiences a truly unique and exhilarating entertainment experience.
My witty and outlandish shows include edge of your seat sword swallowing, spine tingling mind reading, death defying escapes, gripping strong man feats and a whole bunch of other amazing things that until now you probably thought were totally impossible which will leave you questioning your preconceived notions of both reality and what a person is truly capable of!
I'm something of a silver tongued, trickster. And I'm happy to report that due to my charms and aptitudes I possess a career that's allowed me to hone my skills to a point that’s as sharp as a razors edge… all the while being whisked around the globe (10 countries across 3 continents), plastering me all over television (I've been written up in the likes of “The New York Post”, “The Times”, "ESPN Magazine", The “Philadelphia City Paper”, "PLAY Magazine", The "METRO" Paper, "Road King Magazine", “Escape Masters Magazine”, “Amusement Business Magazine”, and even "The Wall Street Journal"; as well as being seen on "CNN", "Ripley's Believe It or Not", "NBC", "The BBC" (United Kingdom), "Rai Tre" (Italy), CCTV (China), "Adult Swim" on "The Cartoon Network", "The History Channel" and "The Discovery Channel"), and garnering me a multitude of awards as well as a total of 12 Guinness World Records(tm)... that's right- I said TWELVE!!!
