It’s not hard to pick Rory Feldman out of a crowd…

He’s at the center of it.

It doesn’t matter where Rory is.  Whether up on stage performing for the CEO of Bear Stearns, Alan “Ace” Greenberg, at a private party performing for celebrities, the head of a table in a conference room, or behind the microphone at a trade show, people are drawn to his style and charm.

The mischievous smile that lures audiences into his act developed around the age of 6 when Rory took an interest in practical jokes.  By the age of 9, he was performing professionally and working as the in house magician at the most popular magic shop in New York.  Since then Rory has been in constant demand by several fortune 500 companies.

Rory has been described as having a “magnetic personality.” His performances of close-up magic, stage magic, and manipulation are inspired by the great magicians of the past and often include innovative self invented magic.

This isn’t your typical magic performance.  Take it from audience members, “it’s indescribable”.  Audiences are fascinated and stunned by his signature “Dollar Burn” trick (CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION), often asking for a second performance.

Rory is recognized as one of the world’s best magicians.  He has been requested to perform at Lance Burton’s Desert Magic Seminar Contest, magic collecting conventions, competitions, and presentations multiple times.  He has been featured in all of the top magic publications and seen by millions on various television segments.  Rory is widely regarded as the next big thing in magic.

Harry Houdini once said that the ultimate magician is not just a magician, but a historian and a collector as well.

At the age of 11 Rory Feldman started collecting magic memorabilia and collectibles.  Rory thought that in order to become the best, he should collect the best.  Which is why Rory decided to focus specifically on magician Howard Thurston.  Now at the age of 29 he has the largest collection of Howard Thurston artifacts, photos, letters, autographs, props, and lithographs in the world. 

One of Rory's favorite projects in the world of magic collecting has been to create, design, and publish www.ThurstonMasterMagician.com.

In the future Rory plans on publishing the most comprehensive book on the life of Howard Thurston.

Amongst magicians and collectors Rory is considered to be the authoritative voice on Howard Thurston.

One of Rory’s newest ventures has been to create the Museum of Magic; a not-for-profit educational organization, that will bring the major magic collections from all over the world together to one public magic museum in New York City.

This museum is called the Museum Of Magic.

The Museum of Magic was granted museum status and given a provisional charter on April 24, 2007 by the Board of Regents of The University of the State of New York and on October 26, 2007 the Museum of Magic was officially granted tax exempt status under section 501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

While he is in touch with the past he’s as modern as they come...
