The Amazing Comedy And Illusions Of Rod Wayne Housley
You may have seen Rod Wayne blind-fold himself and look through your thoughts to reveal your intimate wonders. Although he had an innocent childhood full of love and joy, his path in this life would change dramatically at a young age. He started his life as a magician at 7 years old when a tragic accident left his family grieving the death of his little sister. It was heartbreaking for the entire family. His loss of his best friend shaped his destiny. It was very difficult and Rod stopped speaking for a long period of time. It was during this time, that while attending a family gathering, an elderly man took Rod Wayne aside and shared with him the secrets of a few simple sleight-of-hand magic tricks and told him something he has never forgotten, “It’s up to you to become the magician and use magic to inspire hope in those you love.” Rod resisted his invitation, yet the magic he shared with Rod that day fascinated his young mind and he knew these secrets would be his life, finding ways to create wonder as a path to joy for everyone around him. At 18, Rod was initiated into magic’s most prestigious fraternities and his training as a magician intensified. He began competing and training in all areas of magic study including stage, parlor, close-up, and mental magic. Winning over 20 awards, it was during this time of dedicated practice that he decided to make magic his life. While attending the Art Institute of Las Vegas, he was eager to learn more and become a better entertainer. Rod attended school in the evenings and during the day worked as a pitch-man on the Las Vegas strip for the world's famous, Houdini's Magic Shop. He was performing, had audiences, great mentors in magic helping him hone skills, and he felt as though nothing could be better. After college, Rod began focusing on his art in Arizona and started accepting commissions, painting for book covers, murals, portraits, and performing magic at private engagements. Rod loves creating beautiful images for his audiences to enjoy.
