When the pandemic hit in March 2020, everything stopped. Live events vanished overnight, and with them, my entire calendar of magic shows. Like so many in the live entertainment world, I suddenly had no stage, no audience, and no idea what came next. For a few months, I just waited—hoping things would bounce back quickly. They didn’t. And by June, I realized waiting wasn’t a strategy. So I made a decision: I’d go all in on virtual magic.
That pivot changed everything. I built a home studio, reworked my material, and started offering virtual shows to anyone who would give me a shot. It wasn’t easy. Translating live magic to a Zoom screen came with a huge learning curve. But I kept at it—tweaking angles, refining timing, finding ways to make it feel personal and interactive through a lens. The response surprised me. One show led to another, and then another. Before I knew it, I had performed over 1,000 virtual shows for teams around the world.
The companies that booked me weren’t just random—they were some of the biggest names out there. Amazon, Google, KPMG, Pfizer, Pepsi, and many more brought me in to connect with their teams during one of the most disconnected times in recent memory. What started as a patchwork solution quickly became something much bigger. I wasn’t just performing magic; I was helping people feel connected, entertained, and human again—even through a screen.
And the craziest part? That virtual chapter opened doors I never imagined. It led to brand deals, a massive following on social media, and, eventually, a return to the stage with more momentum than ever. Many of the companies I worked with virtually have since brought me in for live events—and the relationships I built during that time are still going strong. The pandemic forced a huge pivot, but committing fully to that change ended up transforming my career.
