While just staring out in the United States Marine Corps as a young Lance Corporal, a fellow Marine showed Joe a card trick. This was the first time Joe had ever seen magic up close! He found it amazing and he had to know how it was done! The secret was so simple. Joe now had to know how all magic was done!
One fateful day while walking down the street in Hawaii where he was stationed, Joe passed by a Magic shop and went in! He found a magician inside performing magic and selling tricks. The magician put a book called Mark Wilson's course in Magic in front of Joe and told him it was one of the best books out there to learn how to perform magic! Joe bought the book and set out learning how to perform magic quickly picking up the art form.
had large crowds of people surrounding him at parties when he performed his magic. He knew he was on to something. Shortly after that, he was transferred overseas, where there was very little entrainment for the troops. Joe went the USO club manager on base and asked him if he could put on a show for the troops. The manager agreed and Joe put on his first professional show. The night of the show the club was packed like sardines, standing room only. Joe had never really preformed as a professional entertainer before and suddenly found himself more nervous than he had ever been before.
