I have spent the last ten years designing and fabricating illusions and special effects for television, stage, themed attractions and special events. I have been fortunate enough to have been involved in almost every aspect of stage illusion performances, short of actually putting on a g-string and fishnets to do the assistant thing (despite those rumors). I have worked as a performer, stage manager, consultant, designer and builder - and loved every minute of it. That diversity of experience contributes to my ability to create illusionary equipment that excites the audience while delivering a safe, comfortable and dependable product for the performers and technical crew working with it.

I originally came from the United Kingdom to Las Vegas as a tourist to see all the magic shows. I met with some of the Illusionists performing there to discuss some original illusion ideas I had. During my trip I was offered a job as Dirk Arthur's Illusion Director, which I did for four years. Following that, I spent three years designing and building illusions for Splashes Creative Services.

I now run Illusions Projects Inc. - inventing, designing and building illusions for Magicians across the world. In my Las Vegas facility, top quality illusions are created using mainly aluminum; which is both strong and lightweight. The props feature high quality finishes; including powder coating, artistic paint finishes and digital printing. I use the latest technologies in fabrication and design to create functional, durable and deceptive illusions. From smaller stage effects to automated props and illusions - I am able to undertake all aspects from initial concept design to completed physical prop. Enjoy the site, and if you are in Las Vegas - feel free to call for an appointment to stop by.
