Biography

Hollingworth is known for his skillful card magic and elegant performing style. He created a sensation in the magic community with his trick Reformation, in which a signed playing card is torn into four pieces and then visibly restored one piece at a time. He is well known for his acclaimed book, Drawing Room Deceptions. Some of his card magic is also featured in his videos The London Collection and Routines. He was also featured on NBC's "World's Greatest Magic III" TV special.

He also teamed with Neil Patrick Harris to direct him in "The Expert at the Card Table", a small, intimate show that ran from July 13 to August 7 2011 at the Broad Stage in Santa Monica, California.
