A Musician and a Magician.  I started out playing &lt;span style=&quot;color:#ff9900;&quot;&gt;Bass &lt;/span&gt;at a very young age and later added &lt;span style=&quot;color:#ff9900;&quot;&gt;Guitar&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style=&quot;color:#ff9900;&quot;&gt;Piano/Keys&lt;/span&gt;, and &lt;span style=&quot;color:#ff9900;&quot;&gt;Drums&lt;/span&gt; to my repetoire.  Upon being stationed in Germany in my early 20&#39;s, I met another soldier who would later teach me a few magic tricks and the rest is history.  I was hooked.  My whole military paycheck went to the &lt;strong&gt;Berliner Zauberkellar&lt;/strong&gt;, the local magic shop in &lt;a href=&quot;http://userpage.chemie.fu-berlin.de/adressen/berlin.html&quot;&gt;Berlin&lt;/a&gt;.
