"I was born in Detroit, the year was 1951. Lived the majority of my
life in Hamtramck, a tiny city surrounded by Detroit, and have since
moved to an outlying suburb. We call our residence Crimson Manor
after the color of the brick; a one and a half acre Haunted Estate
complete with spooky woods, a sanctified clearing with fire pit called
Coventry Meadow, a Victorian era 'lost' cemetery, and a lush garden
of lawn, flowers, fishpond, and Gothic statuary.

My interest in magic goes way back to my childhood. As a rather
tall, lanky, and 'geeky' youth with no hint of shyness, magic afforded
me the opportunity to interact with members of the opposite sex.
Towards the end of high school, after shedding the coke bottle specs
for contact lenses and acquiring my own car, I abandoned magic for
other ways to meet ladies. The interest was rekindled about 13
years ago, and since I am an anthropological student of the Occult,
Demonology, and Witchcraft, and have always loved horror books
and movies, it did not take long before I discovered Bizarre Magick.
I then embarked on my endless quest to acquire every book and
article concerning such practice along with those of Séance, Fortune
Telling, Optical Illusions, Mentalism, Geek, and just plain old magic.

I hold a Master's Degree in Anthropology specializing in politics,
comparative religion, history, biblical archaeology, mythology, cults,
conspiracy theory, and Magick. One of my greatest joys is my
total passion for Halloween Haunting. Every year we throw a big
party whereby our Haunted Estate is featured; complete with hidden
speakers, animatronics, optical effects, scary actors, macabre props,
and theatrical vignettes that would certainly be classified as Bizarre
Magick. We also hold a parlor Séance.

In addition, I collect decks of cards of all types; playing, tarot, children's, and novelty. I also am a Sideshow, Carnival, Girl Show, Amusement Park, Dark Ride, and Funhouse fanatic. Am a card-carrying member of the Society of American Magicians and enjoy attending Magic Conventions of all kinds. I also meet regularly with local and regional Halloween Haunters for workshops and social events.
