He has seven published works on the art of sleight-of-hand, including The Ostrich Factor and Wisdom of the Cups and Balls, was a columnist for MUM magazine, is a past President of the Texas Association of Magicians and twice received the Ren Clark Award. In 1996, his one man parade for the Linking Ring magazine won both first and second prize awards.
