Garrett Thomas - a close up magician based out of the Western NY area. He has made a name for himself as a master prestidigitator and as an innovator within the world of magic.

As a magician, Thomas is known for being not only one of the top card, coin, and ring manipulators; but also as a magician who thinks deeply about the psychology of what is "real" magic, and also on finding you "character" in magic that allows you to be the "magician" while performing magic. His original effects and extreme technical skill culminate in highly visual, entertaining routines. Incredibly talented and it shows in his magic, his Rubik's Cube routine and Big Coin Little purse effect are superb. Garrett has also created a set of effects in a DvD called "Ring Thing".

This combination of imagination and skill has led to him being sought out by other world class magicians (David Blaine, Marco Tempest, among others) as a personal instructor as well as a consultant.

Thomas also teaches novice magicians and has produced several instructional books and videos on the subjects of coin, card and ring manipulation.
