He's known as a magician slash con man slash comedian who's show is intelligent, interactive & astonishing. Audiences love his wacky brand of humor and on-stage antics. But how did it all start?

After breaking all of his ribs and puncturing his lung in a freak construction accident (ok, he fell off of a house) Zak started learning card sleights to pass the time as he healed. Realizing that this was a way he could harness his creative talent and use it to perform in front of people, Zak started to build his show, slowly but surely. Over the next several years, Zak read every magic book he could get his hands on to learn about the history and methodology of performing.

After booking his first BIG show, he took his magical nestegg and purchased all the materials needed to fabricate his show. Zak confidently began marketing himself as "Cadillac Zak" a name given to him for the 1964 cadillac el dorado he drove at the time. By the end of the year, he was the talk of the town performing his show, "Truth and Astonishment" at schools, parties, churches, and community events.

In the spring of 2006, Zak performed his first BIG publicity stunt escaping from a straitjacket while suspended upside down over 30 feet in the air. Fox news covered the event, launching Zak's magic career.

Today, Zak can be seen primarily in the Austin area entertaining people each week with his witty, comedic magic show.
