I am Joe Swicklik (Not Your Average JOE) and I have been performing magic since I was about 8 years old. After seeing my first magic trick I was hooked! I found Magic was a great skill to have to entertain children that I looked after in the day camp I ran for the City of Phoenix (AZ). Being a parks and recreation instructor for 7 years gave me wonderful experience and knowledge on how to relate with and entertain children.
