Keith Stickley's
Biography
It
all began at his 4th birthday party when his
parents took him to a magic show. He was brought
up on stage as a magician lit a small pan on
fire, covered it to put the flames out, and then
uncovered the pan to reveal it overflowing with
candy. The magic “hook” set deep, and the rest
is history…
In
grade school, Keith spent hours playing and
practicing with magic sets in his parent’s
basement and backyard, putting on a show
whenever possible for who ever would watch! As
he grew, so did his skills. Keith started
performing regularly in high school at local
clubs, outdoor events, banquets, and area
restaurants.
In
1999 Keith moved to Las Vegas to pursue his
career in entertainment and enroll in college at
the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Throughout
college, Keith gained valuable experience
performing at local casinos and corporate
banquets. It is during this time Keith started
receiving offers to perform overseas. He was
soon found in airports around the world on his
time off of school bringing his blend of comedy
and magic to international audiences! Keith
graduated from the University of Nevada, Las
Vegas in 2004.
Keith’s credits include three tours in
Hong Kong, five years as an official magician
representing ConAgra (over 200 performances),
many years of experience in outdoor fair /
festival entertainment, and corporate and trade
show events for some of the largest automotive,
pharmaceutical, marketing, and gaming
organizations in the United States and abroad.

at Fitzgerald's Casino, featured in the review

Vegas. His tours take him to over 60 cities
