Most magicians specialize in only one category of magic, but because Darin has studied so much magic with the best, he is able to specialize in all categories of magic from close-up, manipulation to stage illusions.
His specialty is close-up magic and card magic. He then went on to study with several other excellent magicians and practiced diligently.

He was an onstage assistant in a full evening stage illusion show in Las Vegas. His first experience learning pro magic was at age fifteen with a full-time professional magician Lawrence Gregory. One of his teacher’s once tried to take a magic trick away from him and he made it float away. While the other kids were out playing sports, etc., he was locked in a room practicing magic in front of a 3 fold mirror.
He continued to eat, breathe and live magic and practicing a minimum of 8 hours a day. He always favored sleight of hand over gimmicks and tricky looking apparatus/ boxes. He visited several magic shops and magicians to continue to learn. He competed and won in several school talent shows with magic. He then practiced everyday and began doing birthday parties and magic shows for several different events. A couple of years later he met a magician named Paul Piccio who taught him sleight of hand and took him to a magic shop. He then began to study magic books from the library.
