By the tender age of 13, Bob was enrolled in Louis Tannen's Summer School of Magic, an annual intensive training program for young enthusiasts of magic. Instruction came from only the best in the field such as Jeff McBride and Vito Lupo. These masters taught not only "the secrets", but also the theatrically sound professional presentations of them. By 17 the Tannen organization recognized his burgeoning ability by promoting him to the position of teaching counselor.

Though the term "magic" generically describes what he does, skill and hard work more accurately describes the nuts and bolts of his profession. Bob doesn't work from the stage with birds, scarves and boxes that make pretty assistants disappear. Instead he spins his deceptions at point blank to the viewer. Up close. Under their noses. Using ordinary small objects with which everyone is familiar, such as playing cards, currency, jewelry and even rubber bands.

More importantly, his laid-back yet humorous demeanor allows him to blend in to even the most sophisticated, refined atmosphere. He makes lasting impressions in black-tie corporate ballroom functions just as well as informal shirt-sleeve company picnics with children. He can circulate the hospitality suite or work the evening entertaining at busy restaurants. And, because of his extensive experience with nightclub work, Bob can even dazzle the ever-boisterous bar crowd with both his tricks and his chops. After all, those were the first opportunities ever available to him.

Bob has been published in magicians's trade journals, and is currently authoring his own treatise for the trade entitled "Variant Finesse".
