Born and raised in the Lone Star State, Paul Driscoll fills the bill to be a towering Texan. At 6’ 9” tall, Paul is one of the most “looked up to” magicians in the world.
Paul made his show business debut at the ripe old age of six, performing door to door, carrying an old suitcase of tricks labeled Drisco The Great. While still in high school, he produced and hosted a weekly television show Smile, It’s Magic, and was named World Champion Teenage Magician by the International Brotherhood of Magicians. Driscoll has twice been named Top Texas Magician, and is the youngest recipient of the prestigious Jack Gwynne Award, which in the magic world is comparable to an Emmy or Grammy Award. Two years prior to Paul receiving the Gwynne Award, another young magician was in the running for this honor -- his
name was David Copperfield.
Since those early beginnings, Paul has gone on to perform his special blend of magic and comedy coast to coast at night clubs and corporate events, and around the world on luxury cruise liners. Many Fortune 500 companies have called upon his magical services, including Exxon, IBM, Bristol-Meyers, Chevrolet, Texaco, Coca-Cola, General Foods, and American Airlines.
He has stood tall on the Las Vegas stages of Bally’s, Harrah’s, The Tropicana, Catch A Rising Star, and The Monte Carlo, and has shared the spotlight with such showbiz luminaries as Bob Hope, Gloria Estefan, Paul Anka, Kenny G., and Mickey Gilley. Paul has headlined at the famed Magic Castle night club in Hollywood, which features the top magic acts from around the world.
Paul has over 200 television and radio appearances to his credit --- on talk shows, specials, commercials, telethons, news programs, and in documentaries and commercials.
Driscoll was recently featured in a cover story of Linking Ring Magazine, which has the largest circulation of any magic trade journal in the world. Past cover stories have profiled such magicians as Penn and Teller and Criss Angel.
