Performers

Kevin James remembers seeing his first magic performance and more importantly how it made him feel. He decided early on that performing magic for the world was going to be his life's calling. His unique comedy and magic, gained him a reputation as a world-class visual artist. Kevin has headlined in some of the world's top theatres. He has performed in 110 countries to date.

Some of his past performances include Broadway, the West End, the Crazy Horse and Follies Bergere in Paris. He considers a career highlight to be a Command Performance for President Obama at the White House. He is also a founding member of top selling touring magic show in the world, The Illusionists.

Kevin is related to the legendary P.T. Barnum and in many ways, is like his famous ancestor. His art vision was to create the most unique show on the planet and make adults feel like a kid again. Best job ever!

Eric Buss was born in Tucson, Arizona. When he was born, the doctors all laughed at him. That laughter gave Eric a rush, and at the age of seven seconds he knew he wanted to make people laugh when he grew up… Later at the ripe age of 8, he learned how to tinker in his dad’s workshop. Then, at age 16, he started learning magic. When he successfully merged his passion for building with his magical skills he knew right then and there (according to this Bio) that he wanted to be a professional comedy magician who would build his own original props. He has never looked back.

Now, at the age of “adult,” Eric spends most of his time pursuing his childhood passions either in his own workshop in Los Angeles or on stages around the world performing his clever brand of comedy, glued to his unique style of magic, bolted to his original props, duck-taped to his energetic personality. Eric invents fun.
