Bruce Purdy

Bruce Purdy became interested in Magic at the age of five, and by seven began studying and practicing the art. At fourteen he began performing professionally at children’s birthday parties, later joining the Society of American Magicians (SAM), and the International Brotherhood of Magicians (IBM) for which he currently serves as the Syracuse ring’s president.

     In the 1970’s Mr. Purdy toured New York State in a tent show, appearing at carnivals and fairs. In the Air Force, he was a finalist in the "Tops in Blue" worldwide talent contest held in Florida. Since then he has appeared at school assemblies, major shopping malls and Theatres in New York, California, Nevada and throughout the Northwest.
