Modern (mind-blowing) Magician…🪐

Special Effects Consultant & Sleight-of-Hand Artist

Joshua Logan is an innovative creator, renowned for pushing the boundaries of magic. Magic Magazine recognized him as an "idea guy" with "clever and commercial" material, featuring his original routines in a 7-page spread.

Joshua's journey into the conjuring arts began at age 6, inspired by a close-up miracle performed by David Copperfield at the Pantages Theater in Hollywood. This moment ignited his passion for uncovering the truth behind illusions, driving his magical career.

At UC Davis, Joshua studied visual illusions with Dr. Robert Post and human factors psychology under Dr. Richard Coss. This unique background fuels his approach to magic, merging cognitive science with artistic expression.

Moving to Santa Cruz, California, he collaborated with legendary creator Paul Harris, directing instructional DVDs and developing original magic products like WINGS, Animate & Restore, and INK. His work spans from consulting on special effects for tech giants to mentoring the next generation of magicians and sleight-of-hand artists.

In 2016, Joshua co-founded Boardwalk Magic at Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, offering a unique magic shop experience. Boardwalk Magic serves as a hub for magicians of all ages, featuring novelties, magic tricks, and a vibrant community for magic enthusiasts.

Currently, Joshua is exploring the intersection of magic and emerging technologies. He's partnered with 10zebra, a storyboarding app company integrating AI models into the art of storytelling and collaboration. This venture exemplifies his ability to blend the art of illusion with cutting-edge tech innovation.

Joshua credits his parents for teaching him how to love and spread wonder.
He is currently learning to bend space and time. 👽
