CERTIFIED HYPNOTIST AND NLP PRACTITIONER- Born to Perform

The grandson of a Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey Circus clown and nephew to a grand stage illusionist, Darshwood continues to uphold the family tradition by sharing the joys of comedy and wonder with everyone he encounters. Calling himself a postmodern magician, Darshwood has diligently studied the ancient art of prestidigitation in hopes of inspiring contemporary audiences with a cutting edge technique and sophisticated presentation, making him a hero among peers and granting him active membership among two of the craft's most distinguished fraternal orders - The International Brotherhood of Magicians and The Society of American Magicians - who recently honored him with two consecutive People's Choice Awards for Close-up Magic. He is a graduate of the McBride School of Magic and Mystery in Las Vegas and an American Alliance of Hypnotists certified practitioner who has now incorporated the dramatically impactful elements of mind reading and mesmerism to his act, Darshwood not only spends a great deal of time performing but also shares his wisdom in the trade as a consultant for other professional magicians and speaks at scholastic institutions about the relation between psychology and the art of conjuring by exposing the mind's natural tendency to be fooled by illusion. He recently appeared as an honorary delegate for the United States at INDIA Jaal, a national conference of magicians at Asia's very first Academy of Magical Sciences.
