Who is Kyle Purnell?

Kyle Purnell has been performing the art of magic for the last decade and a half. He lives to be a unique force in the magic community, creating practical methods and engaging effects with the close-up worker in mind. Some of his current creations have gained notoriety from some of the most well-respected names in magic.
