He has frequently appeared on the BBC in the U.K. plus he was one of the "wizards" on the SyFy channel's "Wizard Wars" featuring Pann & Teller and others.. He has "semi-retired" from performing magic, particularly for magicians at magic conventions, and focuses now on science and how it looks like magic. He is working with the Fleet Science Center in San Diego, California as well as a joint project with ComiCon.
