Mysto the Magi began his performing career at the age of twelve as "Mitch the Magician" when he performed for the daughter of a local policeman in his hometown of Lexington, Massachusetts. The little girl got so excited by Mysto's performance that she had an asthma attack. After that experience Mysto decided "I must be good!" He quickly became one of the most popular children's magicians in the Boston area performing an average of 5 shows a weekend and at the age of fourteen performed a benefit show for the Cancer Society where he first performed on a real stage at the middle school for over 300 people. He floated a girl from the audience.
During College, Mysto performed street magic, birthday shows and nightclubs in and around Austin, Texas. After graduation he "hit the road" with his show performing at Street Fairs and Renaissance Festivals. In 1990 he returned to compete in the Texas Association of Magicians Convention in Dallas where he won both Best Stage Magician and Best Close up Magician. Mysto is the only magician to ever win both awards in the same year. In 2010 again Mysto took both awards at the Daytona Magic Convention in Florida.
Since then, Mysto has performed almost every style of magic in almost every venue imaginable. From humble birthday, school and library shows, to restaurants, nightclubs, corporate banquets, music and arts festivals, magic conventions, to Hollywood movies, commercials, theaters, and performing arts centers and headlining comedy clubs.
