Our Magicians:

Brian Gillis & Sisuepahn

The sexy duo of Brian Gillis & Sisuepahn have been fascinating audiences with a mind-blowing blend of mental acrobatics, mind-power demonstrations and physical feats that defy the laws of physics. Their show is highly interactive; fast-paced, frighteningly mystifying and punctuated with perfectly timed comedy. The impact is powerful, the wonder is unsettling and the laughter is nonstop.

Both Brian & Sisuepahn come from magical roots. Inspired by his preternaturally accurate and entertaining fortune telling grandmother, Brian took up magic as a hobby while acquiring degrees & teaching Psychology in college. He eventually apprenticed under the late, great Eddie Fechter, a man considered to be one of the greatest close-up magical entertainers of our time.

A ten-time nominee for Magician of the Year by the famed Academy of Magical Arts (Academy Awards of Magic), Brian was named "World's Best Close-Up Magician for the New Millennium" on the television special The World Magic Awards. He frequently appears at Magic Castle and Comedy & Magic Club, among many other venues

Austin Brooks

Austin Brooks began his magic career at the age of 17 when he was accepted the famed Chavez College of Magic. After two years of intense training, Austin was the youngest person to ever graduate from the college and ranked top in his class.

Always wanting to learn more, Austin set out to earn the rare title of Master Magician. To earn the title Master Magician is not an easy task. Not only must you master all of the styles of magic such as illusions, street magic, sleight-of-hand, comedy, and mentalism, you have to be able to perform your craft across all demographics and events. Austin Brooks is one of the few individuals in the world that have been given the title of master magician.
