I'm a PhD student in Comparative LIterature at the University of Toronto. My dissertation compares narrative techniques of deception found in fiction and magic as a performing art. I'm extremely interested in theories of reception and adaptation. My role as the magic consultant for the performance troupe Ars Mechanica and many other projects allow me to experiment with practical adaptations of stories and magic effects.

I am an active participant in Joe Pecore's magic related editathon as well as other websites related to magic history.

Current wikipedia projects:

- migrating the magicpedia page on Stewart James to create one on wikipedia.

- updating the content of said page based on the web exhibition that I wrote for Magicana and subsequent research.
