Joe Silkie is one of the most innovative minds in magic – an inventor, writer, illustrator, and creator of numerous illusions from stage to close up.

As a veteran with over 40 years experience, he has created magical effects for Arby’s, Max Maven, Robert Baxt, Marc Salem, Michael Carbonaro, Vito Lupo, Peter Samelson, John Ferrentino, and several international amusement parks, among many others.

Most people in Magic may have not even known his name because, typically, Joe would rather stand in the background and watch people perform his effects than take the limelight himself.

John Ferrentino calls him the ninja of magic. Joe has asked him repeatedly not to.
