Andrew DavisAndrew didn’t get started in magic until the ripe age of 20! He had a magic mentor that taught him some basics, and from there it just spread!
Andrew has spent a large portion of his magic career entertaining corporate clients and parties for mainly adults – but a few years ago decided that he needed to be a magical mentor, just as the individual that helped him get started had been. So after 25 years in retail management, Andrew has stepped out of the corporate world and spends all of his time and energy entertaining and educating children and their families. Andrew is also the owner of Wonder Academy where he teaches magic classes that also teach respect, communication skills, and confidence. To learn more or contact Andrew, go to www.Wonder.Academy |
