Even though I have had the pleasure of being featured on CBS, NBC, FOX & CNN Television programs I'm not going to assume you know anything about me, so let me start from scratch.
My name is Eric Anderson I'm also known as The Magician with a Message. (I'll explain in a moment) I combine a Motivational Message & Illusions for a unique and very Powerful Show. I present my programs for Corporations, Human Service Agencies, and Youth Groups.
I was featured in the media for Driving Across America Completely Blindfolded. In addition I have had the opportunity to share the stage with Talk Show Host Sean Hannity, First Lady Laura Bush, Home Run King Hank Aaron, and Nobel Peace Prize Recipient & President of the United States Jimmy Carter.
Oh yeah - I was also selected to entertain at the Salute to Heroes Inaugural Ball during President Barack Obama's Inauguration in Washington D.C. Believe me when I say I'm humbled that I have been able to do any of this stuff.

My Story
After experiencing a failed Adoption I was placed in California's Child Welfare System and I lived in numerous foster homes and group homes until I was eighteen. During this time in my life I was really going through some serious personal challenges, however I was able to focus on something else while I was was living in that situation.
Let me explain!
When I was five years old my adoptive father taught me a simple magic trick. Shortly after that when I was placed in foster care, the art of magic gave me something positive to focus on while I was being moved from home to home. Magic SAVED my life!
Eric what do you mean?
Trust me when I say That I have made my fair share of mistakes, but for the most part I was able to stay out of trouble because I would sit around and practice the art of magic for hours on end, it was insane. Eventually I became really good, so good in fact people started hiring me to entertain at parties.
Well I was hooked, I discovered what I was good at and I decided this was how I was going to make my living. Keep in mind I was just a kid when I made this decision.
Of course I heard all of the nonsense like -

Of course I heard all of the nonsense like -
"Eric you will NEVER succeed and
Your life will amount to NOTHING."
Luckly for me I completely ignored the Haters and when I turned 18 I aged out of foster care. I immediately starting living on my own! With no real support system I realized I had some serious decisions to make concerning my life, so I started reading books on Personal Development & Self Help.
I implemented everything I felt would impact my life in a positive way. This really helped me combat some of the negative thoughts I was exposed while growing up and most importantly, giving me a strong foundation to TRANSFORM my life.
Anyway, after high school I served a brief stint in the United States Air Force and worked a few odd jobs before deciding to make my dream come true. My goal was to travel the world entertaining audiences with my unique brand of magic.
Guess what, I actually did it.
Of course there were some hardships along the way but I turned my passion into a profitable business entertaining audiences around the world. I was stoked!
For a number of years I was Living My Dream when a friend suggested I share my personal story with my audiences.
I asked her WHY?
She said when people see you they will make certain assumptions about you, and when they see your show they will have a lot of questions about how you're able to do some of things you do.
"I think you should tell your story and explain to people WHY you do what you do."
One of the things I learned is sometimes our goal(s) will lead us to our real goal. And that's exactly what happened.
Even though I amaze people for a living when I presented the first show when I shared my story & solutions with the audience I was ABSOLUTELY THUNDERSTRUCK by the response. People surrounded me and wanted to know HOW!
This was the first time the questions had nothing to so with how I performed the illusions in my show. Instead everyone wanted to know how I was able to overcome my challenges and live the life I'm currently living.
