Ray was introduced to magic by his Jr. High School shop teacher in a small town called Emmaus. Since then magic was a hobby for him performing for family and friends. But once he discovered YouTube and found magic videos on it, he decided to share his own magic with others. The feedback he received was great. Particularly Tim Feher provided the encouragement to continue along this path. And ever since Ray is creating visual and unusual magic.

His biggest influence is Jay Sankey. He is inspired by his out-of-the-box thinking. Ray found another friend and teacher in Dennis Barlotta, one of the very few men alive who truly understand the Slydini method of magic. Ray now enjoys performing promotional magic for local restaurants, part time.

Ray specializes in a single branch of the magical arts called “street magic” (also known as "close up magic). Ray believes that street magic, with its supremely intimate performing conditions and fundamental reliance on sleight-of-hand is one of the most astonishing and beautiful types of performance a human can experience.
