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, 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 (sans country).
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, True Blood, 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.
My core body of work has been as a variety/novelty artist as well as a lecturer but I've also acted and modeled.
My credits include the illustrious Trinity Repertory Company, Off-Broadway, and a slew of others.
My core body of work has been as a variety/novelty performer, lecture, and actor. I've been featured on The BBC, NBC, and the Discovery Channel - just to name a few.
I'm a professional escape artist, sideshow performer (sword swallowing, fire eating, etc), and magician. And my abilities have allowed me to break a total of 9 world records! I've coordinated stunts for television, film, and theater all over the US

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!!!

Who I'd like to meet: Fans, friends (both old and new), other performers of all types, those within the business side of the "industry", and any other interesting individuals that might be out there.
I'm filling out the epf and stuff. We are putting you in community arts which holds 560...we'll talk later this week, just give me a call when you send the paperwork and we'll talk.
Yeah definitely man.. I did ask the sga about you and they said that the school is planning on having you back. They also said the only reason they havent already had you back is the price is alil steep and they are saving up the budget to get you there. Gotta love the high budget at chatt state... Other places get dave matthews without batting an eye. We struggle affording local shitty bands.
Thanks for the congrats! Rob and I got married last summer and moved up to Bangor, ME, where I'm in grad school for English. It's definitely nothing like Philly, but we love it - it's really beautiful up here. New England as a whole, as I'm sure you know, is pretty wonderful. I think we might end up settling down somewhere in NE, once I'm finished with school. As for theaters, well, UMaine (my school) would be a good place to try. I'd recommend contacting Student Entertainment or the Collins Center for the Arts. If I think of any other venues, I'll let you know!
So how have you been? Are you touring a lot? Fill me in! :)
So, Might I just say that I think we may be going to go to NACA Midwest with me and the band. So I'm kind of excited for that! :-) How have you been mr TK? lol
