Comedy Magician Dewayne Hill started performing magic at the
age of 16. Six months after practicing and performing in the streets of
Charleston, WV (his hometown), he started receiving show offers from area
churches and local fundraisers.
After performing two professional shows, he received the
attention of a local TV show producer and was asked to be on a guest on the
show to perform. Two weeks after taping the live show, it finally aired on the
local TV stations and had a primetime run for 8 nights in a row. This attracted
news reporters and interviews from all over the region. After several articles
and news clips hit the press Dewayne started performing in a local comedy club.
It was here where he perfected the art of joking and story telling while
performing amazing magic tricks.
After a couple of years of performing Dewayne was making
enough money with bookings and shows to pay for his college at West Virginia
State College. Soon after he was in demand all over the United States
performing in colleges, comedy clubs, country clubs, and corporate events.
For a number of years, Dewayne worked at a personal trainer,
graphic designer while performing his show at night and on the weekends.
In March of 2002, Dewayne started entering the classroom as
a teacher and Autistic Mentor. During this time he saw the troubles of bullying
and started developing a new show for school systems called “Magic with a
Message”. This show combined comedy, magic and audience interaction with a
series of points illustrated about the dangers of bullying and drug use. Now
Dewayne presents this program to thousands of students across the United States
every year.
In April of 2007, Dewayne Hill set a World Record by
performing the most card tricks (71) in a single hour. The feat created an
exciting buzz among card handlers and magic lovers.
Dewayne now brings his show to what he calls the “4
C’s” – which are Colleges, Country Clubs, Corporate Events and Churches all
over the United States.
