Brian Brushwood was born in Fountain Valley,
California, and learned to make friends quickly
as he spent most of his childhood moving to
Colorado, Norway, and several parts of Texas.
As a child, Brian possessed an intense love of
magic... one that mysteriously vanished when
he became a teenager.
Once in college, Brian rekindled his interest in
magic, studying sleight-of-hand and performing close-up magic as a part-time job. In fact,
Brian was off to a quick start in a career of
deception, as he was able to convince his professors to allow him to perform a magic
show for his senior honors thesis.
Brian got an “A,” and upon graduation began performing his
unique brand of bizarre magic at
clubs and schools.
Beginning in Texas, Brian’s
audiences grew from hundreds to
thousands as he quickly captured
“Best Club Magic” and “Best
Comedy Magic” awards from the
Texas Association of Magicians and
broke out onto the
national scene.

From colleges to corporations, Brian has now
become one of the most in-demand and original performers today.
He has been sought after by national TV shows
such as “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,”
praised by colleagues such as Teller (of magicians Penn and Teller), and critics call his show
“exciting,” “unique,” and “flawless.”
Brian is the author of The Professional’s Guide
to Fire Eating; Pack the House; and Cheats,
Cons, Swindles, and Tricks. He has appeared
on dozens of television and radio broadcasts,
including “The Tonight Show,” and programs
on ABC, NBC, FOX, the BBC, E! and
more.
Brian also tours heavily, appearing
at colleges, clubs, and on television in almost every state in the U.S.
When not performing, Brian lectures,
writes, and barefoot waterskis in Austin,
Texas.
