“Someday, Gary Goodman may slip an elephant through the eye of a needle.”
— The Palm Beach Post
When Gary Goodman was 12, he invited 20 friends into his garage, charged ten cents a head, and locked the door. He then spent the next hour performing magic tricks he’d learned from library books!
Although Gary comes from a show business family, it was the famed escape artist, Harry Houdini, who set him on the road to becoming a magician. After seeing a Houdini movie, he was determined to become an illusionist. A magical stroke of good fortune provided the opportunity for Gary to meet with one of Houdini’s last surviving illusion builders who taught him to create and perform some of Houdini’s infamous illusions. The young magician began performing these Houdini originals along with several more of his own design throughout high school and college.
