Welcome To Zack's Page

For over 25 years, I have learned how to perform the art of magic from over 60 different top notch magic instructors, gaining an understanding of teaching as well.
I have performed shows for countless audiences all over the US and on 3 other continents!

Though I have shared my unique and fun style of magical entertainment with thousands upon thousands of people, the one thing that brings me just as much joy is sharing performance tips, necessary educational information and the secrets of how to present simple beginner magic tricks to children. I am excited to be a part of WhizkidMe so that I can use this platform to help children learn the skills required to present some AMAZING things to their friends and family!

The ability to perform magic gives kids self confidence, builds hand-eye coordination skills, and a helpful grasp of basic social skills, while helping them to overcome shyness, too.

Simply put, magic is a great way to make friends and earn respect from peers. It is also just a lot of FUN!

Please join me, Zack Percell of TnZ Magic, to learn how to become a magical entertainer!
