I am the son of the late “Magician’s Magician,” George Sands.

Over my Father’s 86 years of life, he wrote many books on original magic and (among many other creations) the first complete work on balloon sculpting, comprising a total of about 800 pages. George Sands’ balloon books began the revolution in balloon sculpting in the early 1970s.

George Sands was most widely known for his “Sandsational Rope” tricks. It has been said that his rope routines are the foundation for all rope routines performed today, with the exception of the Professor’s Nightmare.

His card routines are also staples for many doing close-up and stage magic, including Jeff McBride, to drop one name. George Sands invented moves and developed routines that keep audiences entertained - magicians and laymen alike.

I grew up traveling with my Father everywhere he performed. I also went to countless conventions and magic club meetings where he lectured. My Father would wake me up in the middle of the night, excited that he figured something out, and I was his first audience as he tested and practiced so many of his new effects. He taught me memory codes while we drove and had me palming coins by the time I was six years old. This Magic Lecture shares the Magic and Legacy of George Sands. Come prepared to learn an amazing amount of material that you can use immediately when you leave. I will change the way you perform and entertain. When I combine my Father’s 70 years of knowledge and experience with my 30+ years of professional experience as a full-time entertainer, you get over 100 years of first-hand professional advice and some very polished and well-developed routines.
