Travis moves through the crowd performing for small groups, drawing people together, breaking the ice, and creating a buzz. Perfect for company parties, wedding receptions, or any event with mingling.

"This was the first time we had hired an entertainer for a company event, and Travis was highly professional. He arrived on time and jumped right into things.

Travis's roaming magic act was astounding. He captivated and charmed employees with his mind-boggling tricks and engaging personality. The way he personalized the performance for each small group made everyone feel special.

The feedback the next day was overwhelmingly positive, with many employees still talking about their favourite tricks. I wholeheartedly recommend Travis. His talent made our gathering unforgettable!”

Travis got his start as a street performer, learning to conjure a crowd from nothing and hold them until the end. He took those lessons indoors, earning the respect of some of Canada’s toughest theatre critics while selling out runs and winning awards at festivals across Canada. From thousand-seat theatres to noisy pubs, from living rooms to corporate events, Travis will win over your audience no matter the venue.

“Travis has entertained our staff and their families annually for five years. His calm, comedic personality and unfathomable magic tricks have us in stitches and wonder instantly. Engaging, funny, talented, and great with children.” —Jo Darts, Perkins + Will

“For years, I've called Travis ‘my favorite magician.’ But that does not do enough justice to his impressive, engaging, and entertaining skills. His incredible sleight of hand is only amplified by the drama and humor he infuses into his performances as a talented theatre and improv artist. He will add surprise and delight to any event!”

COnsulting

Travis was a Magic Producer on Tricked (2016) — writing, designing, building, and executing magic for all twenty episodes. He was the magic consultant for Disney’s Descendants: Wicked Wonderland, and a technical advisor on ABC’s The Good Doctor, Hallmark’s When Calls the Heart, CBC's Strange Empire, Fox's Lucifer, the USA Network's Psych, and Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender, crafting magic, training actors in sleight of hand, and performing as a hand double.

Travis creates magic for other magicians — some of his work has appeared on America's Got Talent — and has provided mentorship, direction, and dramaturgy for productions like Rob Teszka’s Magic Dropout and I Hate Magic, the comedy mind reading of Andrew Brimstone, Nayana Fielkov’s Presto!, and others.

With fellow magician Wes Barker, he wrote AbracaDumbass, a hilariously honest showbiz memoir detailing Wes’s decade-long journey from filling potholes to starring in his own TV show.
