Portland's Premiere Magician
Profile
Corey Burke was first introduced to magic at the young age of five. Over the course of the next twelve years he continued to study from books and teach himself the mysteries that were captured upon those pages. His family had grown tired of hearing, “Pick a card…” and they forbade him from showing them any more magic. So at the age of 17 he decided that it was time to start performing professionally.
He paid his way through college doing private parties, teaching lessons, and working at the magic shop he used to frequent as a child. It began to appear that Engineering was no longer in his future. Unfortunately for his parents, but fortunately for you he decided to follow his passion and pursue magic.
His illusions bring people together with laughter and awe. He provides entertainment for corporate events, private parties, restaurants, and has even taken his magic out on the open waters on yachts and cruises.
Today Corey is an award winning magician, his magic has taken him half way around the world and back, he lectures to his peers, has published three DVDs that are distributed world-wide, and is doing something that few ever accomplish…LIVING HIS DREAMS!
