Some of his most renowned tricks include the Ninja Rings and the Muscle Pass which he introduced to American magicians and helped make famous. In Feb 2008, he introduced his "Laws of Attraction" illusion to the Blackpool Magic Convention to an exclusive audience of professional magicians.

He has been featured on the cover of the Magic Magazine March 2003 issue. He has also appeared on "After Dark At The Magic Castle."
