Joseph Tran’s magic unites a classical era with a modern world.  His magic reflects what he holds dear: the style and elegance of his heroes from the past, the dreamer inside himself with a passion for performance, and an extension of the person he strives to become in the future.  In short, he is a gentleman performing with a casual élan, combining magic with an air of mystery, quick wits, and subtle humor.  Joseph is highly regarded in the world of professional magic and, uniquely enough, film as well.  When not performing magic, Joseph enjoys a career as a working actor.

What keeps Joseph in such high demand?  Well, how about the fact that he puts complete heart into every action!  Between magic, acting, college, friends, and family, Joseph leads quite the eventful life.  Never one to settle for second best, he strives for excellence in each and every endeavor.

Born in Hollywood, Joseph’s upbringing remains entirely normal -- that is, as normal as can be for having immigrant Vietnamese ballroom dance instructors as parents.  However, that did prove integral in shaping Joseph’s magic as he grew up mesmerized by the images of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. 

As a child, Joseph sought attention; his yearning thirst fulfilled only by the mystery of magic.  Armed solely with a deck of cards and an old library book, he aspired to become the best darned ten year old magician in his neighborhood (technically, the only ten year old magician in his neighborhood). 

Now, over a decade later, Joseph performs with animals, lovely assistants, technical crew members, large-scale illusions, and adoring audiences.  He still performs his card magic everywhere he travels, but the complex show equipment definitely is not as small as it used to be!
