Everything that you'd see on The Ed Sullivan Show was at the Tannen's Magic. You'd think that if you could afford a trick like Doc Nixon's Dove Vanish, then you could be on The Ed Sullivan Show as an 8-year-old kid.

What I've tried to do in my stage magic is to take a trick and give it an emotional hook.
David Copperfield
From the very beginning, I studied acting, directing, lighting, dance and movement. I didn't rely on just the magic to take place.

It's great, but it's not enough.
