Raised by a semi-professional sleight of hand artist, I was born into the art of magic.

From that young boy understanding his talents along the journey to where I am now, it's been my duty to bring the most visual magic I can to the public eye.

I have been interested in the art of magic for over 20 years, and have been performing professionally for half that time.

"How?" you ask. My determination has earned the respect of my peers. I look at the art of magic from a real-world perspective and approach with skills very few have.

For the last seven years, I have taught my style of magic to other magicians worldwide; London, Portland, Singapore, Copenhagen, Berlin, Perth, Miami, Los Angeles, Taipei, New York, Paris, Tokyo, Glasgow, Toronto, Las Vegas, Tel-Aviv, Hong Kong, Vienna - and the list continues and continues.

My raw visual style of magic is easily recognized and universally acknowledged.

When younger, I worked in every magic shop I could get into. This allowed me to interact with different types of people and form a solid foundation. Over the years, I've taken that knowledge and performed in every situation possible.

All this hard work finally paid off in 1991 and 1992 when I won 1st place, two years in a row, at the International Brotherhood of Magicians Close-up Championships.

This led to me being one of the first chosen as a close-up performer at the prestigious Magical Empire in Caesar's Palace.

Since then, I have been given several opportunities to appear on prime time television on channels such as the Discovery Channel, The Learning Channel, and World's Greatest Magic on NBC.

I love to share my magic with the community and have published in all of the industry's leading magazines such as Trapdoor, Channel One, The Penumbra, Apocalypse, The Magic Circular, Labyrinth and Genii Magazine.

Currently I am helping to solidify the magic community in the Pacific Northwest and Western Canada, by having created the X-elent Lecture Series.

I bring only the finest magic to you - my community. If you are in our area, please check us out.

Again, welcome to LeeAsher.com.

While exploring, you'll find performance videos of my magic for your watching pleasure. If you enjoy these videos, then there are corresponding materials that specifically teach you to perform them yourself.

If you have any questions, feel free to email me.

I am always interested to hear from someone who shares the same passions.
