Austin Brooks began his magic career at the age of 17 when he was accepted into the famed Chavez College of Magic. After 2 years of intense training, Austin was the youngest person to ever graduate from the college and ranked top in his class.

After graduating, Brooks moved to Chicagp to create a new kind of magic show. He wanted to create a performance that  fused the aggressive genre of industrial music with bold new illusions.

The result of his efforts was his first tour called “Illusion Concert.”  This show burned through the Chicago club scene taking no prisoners. Austin’s dark and provocative routines showed only the beginning of what was to come. The buzz spread and Austin was well on his way to becoming one of the most sought after club acts in the Midwest.

Brooks created his next show “All Magicians Are Not created Equal” and embarked on a small tour that would eventually turn into a two year, 42 state stint on the road. Assaulting every city he entered with an onslaught of music, light shows and controversy, he quickly built a following in every city he breached.

While on the road Austin wrote his first book “Making Magic Art.” It sold out its first printing in three months and was proclaimed by it’s readers as the bible for alternative thinking in magic.

Austin’s next creation was “Magic Will Never Be The Same.” This show featured his amazing sleight of hand and demonstrated Brooks had mastered even the most difficult style of magic.

Austin’s next tour was a high concept magic show called “The Manipulator.” It was a masterpiece of thought, performance and design.

While performing this show, Austin met Jason Jemini and tthought his style of magic was fresh and original. After a few months performing together at various Hollywood parties, they decided to create a show together and “Lords of Illusions” was the result.
