Steve's
Brief CV
Steve
Walkeris an UNREALIST......a conglomerate yet cohesive
concoction of consummate competence and considerable craft
carefully contrived to captivate the conjuring connoisseur
yet confound the castigator.
Born near the sun-drenched tropical beaches of Yorkshire in
England he moved to Sydney, Australia where he earned a reputation
as one of the countries slowest rising magicians.
Winning many National Awards for both his stage and close-up
sleight of hand magic, he appeared on many TV shows and didn't
appear on many more!
He was the resident magician on the Channel 7 "Reach
for a Rainbow" TV show for 5 years and was invited to
Reno, Nevada to appear on "The World's Biggest Stage"
at The Hilton Hotel Casino where he was M.C. on the Gala Show
at the International Brotherhood of Magician's annual convention.
On returning to Australia he is now kept busy with Cruises,
Corporate and Trade Shows before he flies off to Hollywood,
California in August to appear yet again at the World Famous
Magic Castle.
