Troy Von Scheibner
Troy, born Johannes Troy Von Scheibner, is not your average magician. His tattoos, gold watch and collection of bright snapback caps distinguish this Magic Circle member from the rest.
Troy's interest in magic began at the age of 12 after he saw David Blaine on television. As a child, Troy was very shy and credits magic with helping him to break out of his shell. His father, an actor, writer and archeologist, nurtured Troy's interest in magic and bought him an instructional magicians video tape, which Troy used for practice. While in college, Troy continued to hone his magic skills by working at bar and bat mitzvahs, weddings and restaurants.
During one of his late night shifts as a waiter, Troy did an impromptu magic show for table of customers, which included an important production executive. This chance meeting turned Troy's dreams of being a full-time magician into a reality. Although he's only in his early 20s, Troy has already achieved much success in his career thus far and has no plans on slowing down.

We are witnessing greatness
I have been a fan of magicians all my life. To the point that I am a practicing magician. After reading a previous reviewer input I felt it my duty to share my opinion. I think the show is great. As a practicing magician I felt the audience reactions were real. I have been in a live taping of fellow magician Criss Angel's show and the same reaction they showed was the same reaction that occurred on-site live with no plants. And I feel that the same goes for Troy. Troy's methods are so complex that it fools actually magicians. The purpose of magic is to shock and awe and I feel Troy does that. Others may be over critical of the show and to them I say produce a magic show and let's critic it. But I feel Troy's show fulfills its purpose of entertainment and I can't wait for it to come out on DVD/BluRay.
