Darren Romeo is a professional magician, and off-Broadway actor, and the protégé of Siegfried & Roy. He is a regular performer in Las Vegas, and Branson, Missouri, with his long time assistant, Kristy Michelsen.
Named after musician/teen idol Bobby Darin, he developed his flair for magic and the performing arts while growing up in East Meadow, New York. During his years at East Meadow High School, he studied voice, and starred in productions of the musicals Grease, Bye Bye Birdie, and Pippin. He also helped to organize a fundraising benefit for the victims of Hurricane Andrew, drawing recognition from the local press.
His style of magic combines vocal performance and illusion, in what is billed as "The Voice of Magic". In 1995, he starred in the Off-Broadway production of The Fantasticks, before relocating to Las Vegas, Nevada. Once there, he became a regular performer at Caesar's Palace. In 1999, he met Siegfried Fischbacher & Roy Horn of Siegfried & Roy, who took him on as their sole protégée. With their backing, he was given his own nightly show at The Mirage, for which he received the International Magician Society's coveted Merlin Award, an honor shared with past winners such as Siegfried & Roy, David Copperfield, and Doug Henning.
In 2004, he began headlining a show at the Welk Resort in Branson, Missouri several months per year. His Branson show often incorporates the talents of an even more famous collaborator, NASCAR superstar Jeff Gordon.

Hi Kathee! Sorry if it took me so long before answering your comment... But I was to San Francisco... Darren's show was great and it was good to hear the crowd!!
So funny story. I was trying to get dinner ready tonight and I had on my channel 8 and it was plating "Masters of Illusion" when suddenly, just as I walk into the kitchen, I hear "Dream Lover." I said to myself, literally, no one else was home, "I only know one person who sings that song and does magic..." So I ran into the living room and sure enough there you were but like 10 YEARS AGO!! I said "DARREN ROMEO!!! WOW is he young..." LOL, just like that! Funny lil ole world isn't it?
THought you would like that story. I was really happy to see you perform again. When are you going to come out to Chicago?!?!?!?! Have a good one!
