Joe Silkie

 Joe Silkie is one of the most innovative minds in magic – an inventor, writer, illustrator, and creator of numerous illusions from stage to close up.

As a veteran with over 40 years experience, he has created magical effects for Arby’s, Max Maven, Robert Baxt, Marc Salem, Michael Carbonaro, Vito Lupo, Peter Samelson, John Ferrentino, and several international amusement parks, among many others.

Most people in Magic may have not even known his name because, typically, Joe would rather stand in the background and watch people perform his effects than take the limelight himself.

John Ferrentino calls him the ninja of magic. Joe has asked him repeatedly not to.

John Ferrentino

John Ferrentino is from New York, but that’s not his fault. Known as the godfather of magical comedy, he realized audiences loved to feel like they were watching somebody who wasn’t necessarily very skillful, but very funny in failure. The fact that John is also an accomplished magician meant he always had the last laugh, and he has delighted audiences for at least the last 137 years (he just had a birthday and won’t say which – this is a guess).

John has appeared on over 50 television shows on HBO, VH1, SHOWTIME, A&E and THE COMEDY CHANNEL, and was a regular guest on FOX’S COMIC STRIP LIVE for 5 years.

He was also the world’s first “rock’n’roll magician”, having been the opening act for Crosby Stills and Nash, touring the world with them for 10 years, before continuing his travels performing around the globe on every major cruise line.

He is currently a regular performer at the world famous MAGIC CASTLE in Hollywood, and loves the shrimp cocktail.

Collaboratively myocardinate focused potentialities after transparent bandwidth. Uniquely.
