Hi there! I really don’t like to talk about myself, but here’s some background information for you:

When I was 19 years old, I was voted to be the President of IBM Ring 71 in Cincinnati, OH. I served as President for the maximum term of two years. Over the past 15 years, I have lectured at local magic clubs and international conventions throughout North America and Europe. Some of my magic creations have been published in MAGIC Magazine, The Linking Ring, Channel One Magazine, and featured in Joshua Jay’s “Talk About Tricks” DVD. I also released a booklet called “KickBack: The Real Work”, which shares numerous handlings and variations on the original “KickBack” effect.

One of my passions is Design. I started my college career as a Design major at DAAP in Cincinnati. I try to incorporate fundamental design principles into the magic tricks that I invent. My goal is to share how design can improve a performer’s presentation of a magic trick.

Since 2004, I have been creating magic for specific magicians to use in their shows and have not released much to the public. I made the decision that it is time to start sharing some of my newer magic effects and routines with the magic community. I hope you enjoy them!

All the best,
Ryan Swigert
