According to his website, his original effects, extreme technical skills, and keen understanding of human psychology culminate in highly visual, entertaining, and often enlightening routines.

Gillis came from magical roots. Inspired by his remarkably accurate and entertaining fortune-telling grandmother, Gillis took up Magic as a hobby at an early age. After graduating from college, he taught Psychology in college until he began performing Magic as a full time professional. He had apprenticed under the late, great Eddie Fechter, a man considered to be one of the greatest close-up Magicians of our time.
With his move to Hollywood, Gillis almost instantly acquired an impressive list of credits including various television specials and several “Tonight Show” appearances (he’s considered to have been “Johnny Carson’s favorite magician). A ten-time nominee for “Magician of the Year” by the famed Academy of Magical Arts (Academy Awards of Magic), Gillis was named “World’s Best Close-Up Magician for the New Millennium” on the television special The World Magic Awards.
Rounding things out, among others, is Doc Eason, bar magician. Doc Eason is a four-time Academy Award winning magician who is sure to entertain with his “card under the glass” techniques and much more.
