Paul Glickman, one of New Mexico's premiere performers of prestidigitation, got his start in legerdemain at the age of 10 when he began apprenticing with one of magic's most beloved practitioners, Peter Pan the Magic Man - Dr. Abraham Hurwitz - New York City's official magician.


As a teenager he joined F.A.M.E, Future American Magical Entertainers, moving from novice to professional in a few years.


In his twenties Paul moved on to a different kind of magic... movie magic. For about twenty years he was an award winning cinematographer shooting feature films and documentaries around the world.


Retiring to Santa Fe NM in 1986, he took up magic where he had left off, honing and polishing his skills until morphing into THE GREAT PAULISSIMO!


So welcome to the world of The Great Paulissimo - look around the site and don't forget on the last page there's a magic trick you can do right on your own computer.
