About

Arthur Trace performing on stage in the Palace of Mystery at The Magic Castle.

Hailed by the Society of American Magicians as “one of the most creative acts in the world of magic today,” Arthur Trace is only the eighth magician in history to be awarded the International Brotherhood of Magicians Gold Medal. To this day he is also only the second American to win a FISM award in the category of Manipulation at the World Championships of Magic. Recently, the Academy of Magical Arts honored Arthur as Stage Magician of the Year for his exemplary performances at The Magic Castle.

Recognition from his peers has brought Arthur many exciting opportunities such as national television appearances in seven countries, a tour of China with the Wuqiao Circus Festival, and a starring role in Monte-Carlo Magic Stars at the Princess Grace Theatre in Monaco. His unique talents have also been featured in The Magical Mystery Show at the Wintergarten Varieté in Berlin, The House of Magic in Macau, and Supermagic at Teatro Olimpico in Rome.

Delighting and astounding even the most skeptical of audiences, each year he brings his artful deception to countless events worldwide. It’s no wonder why the Chicago Tribune called him “one of magic’s bona fide superstars!”

When not touring, Arthur lives in Los Angeles with his wife Melissa and beagle Ava.
