This past weekend, I had the joy of performing at Camp Ronald McDonald, and let me tell you—it was more than just a show. It was a reminder of something truly magical. I met over 80 incredible kids and the amazing camp staff who all brought such a genuine energy that it lit up the entire place. But here's the real magic: these kids inspired me by being completely, unapologetically themselves. They didn’t try to fit into any “cool kids club” mold. Each of them was wonderfully

Eighteen years ago today—January 12th, in Vancouver, Washington—my world quietly changed forever. That day, my son Sebastian (Sebby) entered my life and unknowingly became one of the three greatest reasons my world is filled with magic … and one of the biggest reasons I am who I am today. As a toddler, Sebby was pure joy. Always smiling. Always happy. The kind of kid who could light up a room without trying. And then there was that day. Sebby was about two years old, down f

Look, I know what you’re thinking: “Another magician saying it’s about the audience? We’ve heard that before.” But hang tight, because this isn’t just a reminder—it’s a friendly challenge. We all know how easy it is for magic to turn into a one-man show. The magician becomes the superhero, the audience applauds, and everyone goes home impressed. But what if we flipped that script? What if the audience walked away feeling like they were part of the magic—not just watching it

We have closed the curtain on 2025 and have officially stepped into the magic of 2026, I wanted to share a few standout moments that made this year truly special. Not just a highlight reel, but a reflection on what made the journey magical. 1. Taking the Leap Into Full-Time Magic This year, I took a giant leap and went full-time as a magician. It was a bit like jumping off a cliff and learning to fly on the way down—exhilarating and a little nerve-wracking, but absolutely wor

December has been an absolute whirlwind. In just one month, I performed 47 shows — everything from corporate holiday parties, Hanukkah celebrations, birthday parties, and intimate private events — all leading up to a moment I’ve been working toward for years: my debut week in the Parlour of Prestidigitation at the world-famous Magic Castle . Last night wasn’t just another show. It was a milestone. A Second Home, A New Peak I’ve been incredibly fortunate to call the Magic Ca

Beyond tricks. Beyond surprises. It’s connection. Magic is more than just sleight of hand or illusions; it’s a powerful tool to spark genuine human connection. When I do strolling magic, especially for a group that’s known each other for years—like a married couple, best friends, or longtime coworkers—magic becomes a doorway to stories and shared memories. And that’s where the real magic lies. Imagine this: I ask a couple to tell a story about each other—something that made t

Magic has always found me. Long before I ever stepped foot into the Magic Castle, long before I met a man in a purple suit, magic lived in the smallest corners of my childhood. It showed up in a living room that smelled of cookies, in a lazy boy recliner, and in the laughter I shared with my grandfather. My First Magician My grandpa was my very first “magician.” He never owned a top hat or a deck of marked cards. He didn’t know sleights or misdirection…at least, not the kind

November has my heart...and my stomach full. #grateful November… WHAT. A. RIDE. If October was insanely scary (I’m still recovering from spooky season and pumpkin-spice trauma), November was the deep breath I didn’t know I needed… followed immediately by a sprint straight into holiday madness. Let’s rewind the chaos. We Started With Christmas Nostalgia… and Then Chaos Took the Wheel Jamie and I kicked off the month at the Home Alone 35th Anniversary Event at Disney Studios

My first magic show. 2013 Over 10 years ago , when I was still a hobbyist doing small gigs while working a 9–5, I sat with a seasoned pro—one of those old-school magicians who has seen everything. In the middle of talking magic, I told him: “I want to become a full-time magician.” He looked at me and asked, “Do you have a family?” “Yes.” Then he hit me with: “Well, then you can’t be a full-time magician and have a family.” Just like that—no hesitation, no encouragement, just

Happy Thanksgiving from the Molo Boys! This year has felt like opening a brand-new chapter in my life — one I never imagined I’d actually get to live. Earlier this year, I left my job at the National Training Center in Fort Irwin to pursue magic full-time. It was the scariest decision I’ve ever made… and somehow the most natural one. Looking back, I realize I’ve been preparing for that leap for years. If you told 10-year-old me — the shy Filipino kid who fell in love with won

Magician+Rabbit = "I've seen this one before...YAWN..." There’s a sentence every magician has heard at some point in their career. From adults. From kids. From people who actually love magic. “Oh, I’ve seen this one before.” “I know how this one is done.” If your stomach tightened a little reading that… good. It means you care about your craft. Because here’s the truth most don’t want to say out loud: If you’re hearing that sentence often, it’s not your audience’s fault…It

"Ladies and Gentlemen...The Man in the Purple Suit." “How many purple suits do you own?” A question I get all the time. But the truth is, this whole purple-suit saga started way before I ever became a Magic Castle member back in 2017. A little over a year before that momentous event, I decided to embark into the wonderful—but slightly terrifying—world of children’s shows. Up until then, I was just your typical close-up magician with a deck of cards, a few coins, and a dream o

An impossibility or did they just all see a ghost? October wasn’t just busy — it was a full-blown magical rollercoaster that never hit the brakes. From taking the stage at Dick Van Dyke’s house in Malibu (yes, THE Dick Van Dyke) to going Back to the Future with our favorite band The Flux Capacitors in San Diego, it felt like we were living inside a highlight reel. The month kicked off with a whirlwind: performing for Texas Roadhouse’s big wigs , inspiring kids on Career D

If you can't beat the robots, make them your marketing team. "AI will not replace humans, but those who use AI will replace those who don't." – Ginni Rometty Last year, I kept hearing about this thing called AI everywhere — social media, podcasts, and the news. Some people said it would change everything. Others said it would end everything. You know, like Terminator 2: Judgment Day or The Matrix , where the machines take over and humanity becomes the side character. As s

Full circle moment. Sharing my magic with my family in the Philippines. October is Filipino American History Month — a time to celebrate the stories, culture, and heart of a community that has entertained, inspired, and uplifted across generations. And honestly, if you’ve ever been to a Filipino party… you already know why entertainment runs deep in our blood. The music hits first — 90s hip-hop and R&B blasting from the DJ's two turntables run by someone’s cousin who swears

Packed with purpose. I don't just do magic - I create memories that last longer than the applause. If you’re wondering how a full-time magician keeps a packed calendar in today’s world — especially at premium rates — the answer isn’t what you’d expect. It’s not about doing more shows. It’s about doing the right  ones, and making every moment unforgettable. 💥  It All Starts With a Stellar Experience You can’t fake a good show — and you definitely can’t build a career on weak

Moments before showtime with the legend himself - Gerry Griffin of the California Magic Club. A Tribute to a Gentleman of Magic and a Legend of the Craft When you first walk up to the California Magic Club in downtown Martinez, you feel it — that spark of nostalgia and anticipation that only a true supper club can inspire. The glow of vintage lamps, the faint sound of swing music, and the whispers of laughter drifting through the door remind you that something special is ab
