Magician • Illusion Designer • Magic Consultant
Mark Kalin wanted to be a puppeteer until one day, at age 9, when he looked on a shelf at the library and found a book on magic. “I enjoyed the puppets, but the idea of magic really intrigued me. I tried to do a few tricks and found out it was something that I could master”. Mark Kalin has been one of the most influential magicians of the last three decades, bringing his amazing magic to arenas, performing arts centers, television shows, and his own experimental theatre in Reno, Nevada, “Magic Underground.”
As a young man Mark’s specialty was sleight-of-hand magic, but he later enlarged his act to include tigers, panthers, and sensational, split-second marvels including the largest stage
illusion of all time, the vanishing of an American Airlines jumbo jet.
In addition to his onstage work, Mark has developed numerous illusions used in Broadway
productions, live touring shows and Las Vegas revues.
Mark was voted magic’s highest honor, ”Magician of the Year" by the Academy of Magical Arts
