With the help of friends, Dave built this

“Zig-zag illusion” early in his career.  It was an audience favorite for many years.

 

The young lady with the displaced midsection is Tricia Peters, who worked

with Dave on a number of shows.  (If you click on the link, Tricia is the girl in the two left photos, with Michelle and Julianne.)

 

(Tricia became a very successful Hollywood stuntwoman—doubling for Michelle Pfeiffer, Heather Locklear, Calista Flockhart, Julianne Moore, Drew Barrymore, and Sarah Michelle Gellar.  Dave was present when Tricia did her very first “high fall”.)

Circus Ringmaster & Illusionist

 

After several years as illusionist

and emcee on touring variety revues, Dave enjoyed a couple of seasons as

 ringmaster and illusionist with the prestigious Shrine Circuses.
