Bill Devon
For Bill Devon, magic isn't a hobby or even a profession. He calls it "his affliction." He's been "suffering" from a love of magic since he was nine years old and captivated by the work of Kirk Kirkham. He has been practicing for more than 50 years, and magic continues to be a therapy for Bill, providing him with a creative outlet and the satisfaction of entertaining others. He specializes in performing magic for kids' parties, adult parties and stage magic.
Ven the Magic Man
(916) 641-0114
It was a stranger who performed a magic trick in front of a Sacramento grocery store that sparked Ven Mendoza's (aka Ven the Magic Man's) interest in magic. The trick: the gray-haired man dropped a lit cigarette into a handkerchief and it disappeared without a trace. The handkerchief was not burned at all. That, says Mendoza, did the trick. Magic was now his passion. In 1992, he joined the Society of American Magicians and its local assembly to learn more about magic. He's also a lifetime member of the International Magicians Society. He's been doing magic shows for families in the Sacramento Area since 2001. Ven the Magic Man performs his family show in a black tuxedo with tails and does magic tricks using doves, magic wands, balloons, scarves and cards. "My philosophy of magic is that it is more than an art and business. It is a spiritual experience that I can share with the children and their families," he says.
