About

Troy Milligan

Sixty-three years doing magic. Fifty of them as a full-time professional.

I started at ten, in Wilmington, Delaware, after watching a Houdini film on a black-and-white television. I left a drafting job to join a carnival, built a booking business in Sacramento, performed in Okinawa, and worked trade shows for companies that needed a crowd. More than twenty thousand escapes, and I've never had one go wrong.

The business side I learned in Sacramento. My minimum there was $650 and I was glad to get it, until the Kings taught me to price against the client's world instead of the competition's. I've taught that to other performers ever since.
