Born with Spina Bifida, Curtis was always looking for something that would make people take notice of him for something other than being disabled. Little did he realize that magic would become his legs.

The magic bug hit Curtis at an early age. His first recollection and beginning of an obsession was when he was 7 years old when his parents bought him a magic kit. He would sit in his room trying to figure out possibilities with the tricks that came in the package for hours on end.

Years later, Curtis would leave this obsession to advance on his education. He received a diploma from SAIT (Southern Alberta Institute of Technology) in the Cinema, Stage, Television and Radio Course. He majored in Radio Production and minored in Creative Writing. Due to presentations, projection training, voice acting, and public speaking, Curtis attributes a lot of his presentational skills and showmanship to that course.

Soon after, Curtis would learn that his grandfather was a local magician in Gainsborough Saskatchewan. However, before Curtis could learn the tricks of the trade through a mentor such as his grandfather, he had a stroke at the age of 58 that would leave him unable to move and barely speak. But his passion for magic and love for performing and making people happy would radiate through to his grandson. Curtis revisited his passed obsession and worked on his sleight of hand and showmanship for several hours every single day.

Now the magic has been passed on to Curtis and he would love to perform for you just as his grandfather would have wanted him to.
