Paco Manalo

A practitioner of the art since 2004, Zephyr (Paco Manalo) develops magic that involves the audience, up close and personal where the magic happens in their hands.

Zephyr learned magic from his grandfather David Barnes who was also an illusionist during his youth. Magic has been apart of his life since that day David taught him the basics of card magic. He joined The Story Circle which was a big part in the development of his skills and later co-founded Illusionists of the South.

Zephyr is able to perform a number of effects but his true love would be card magic. He is a close up performer as he develops magic acts to interact with his audience. His ideal performance scenarios would be at bars, cafes, lounges, birthdays (not children parties), parties, or corporate events. Cards are his forte and all around instrument for magic but he is also able to perform other genres of magic

As member of The Story Circle and co-founder of illusionists of the south the magic he delivers will surely entertain your guests.
