I had the honor of working with John Malkovich on his latest movie – “The Great Buck Howard”. Director/writer Sean McGinly hired me to create and teach Mr. Malkovich several magic effects as well as coaching him on set for the shoot. It was amazing to see how Mr. Malkovich transformed himself into a magician once the cameras started rolling. We shot it at the historic Palladium Theater in Hollywood California. It was a pleasure.

“Tony thank you for making it so easy.”

The producers of Nicholas Cage’s new film – “Next” called me in to teach Mr. Cage how to make two doves appear in his bare hands. After meeting with Mr. Cage, I quickly realized he was a magic enthusiast and had passion for the art. Because of Mr. Cage’s natural ability I was able to create a sleight of hand method that would require no camera tricks. On the day of the shoot he pulled it off like a professional magician. The director – Lee Tamahori was blown away when out of nowhere two doves instantly appeared in his open bare hands. Two takes and we had it. Magician’s will be jealous when they see it.

“Tony thanks for working so hard to make it all happen so well. I really appreciate it.”
