Then In 1986 as a 21year old he gave his first Magic Lecture in Tokyo, Japan where he was well received.



After his adventures in LA, working the Magic Castle and performing at private events he decided to move back to Cincinnati and plant some roots. It was during this period where he learned the business part of show business and began to solicit work in the Festival and Fair Market, Comedy Clubs and The Corporate Market. He would spend the next 5 years doing that.

Wives, children and businesses, Industrial Strength Magic, The Carew Tower Magic Shop, FunKIDelic Toys & The T.Frank Mint - Phoenix Cups and Balls were all part of the next 12 years.
