MAGIC IAN

Born Ian Sutz in Brooklyn, NY, Ian started magic later than many, at age 24. He ran a Magic Shop in Middletown, NY from 1974 to 1988 (kept open until 2000 by his parents after Ian moved to Florida). From 1989 to 1995, he owned and operated Tropic Cinemagic Theater in Leesburg, Florida.

Ian began lecturing to other magicians in 1977, based on his early inventions and improvements to standard magic gimmicks. Ian co-founded SAM #147 with Jeff McBride in 1977, in Middletown, NY, and was past secretary of SAM 147. Currently, Ian is Vice President of Ring 258 IBM in Leesburg, FL.

Ian is now living in Bushnell, Florida, and continues to sell magic on-line and lectures to magicians. He also is currently performing with a 5 act magic troupe in Central Florida.
