At only 19 years old, Bill Koch has accomplished some amazing things! He is an award-winning magician in both Chicago and Las Vegas. In 2007, he won second place in the Chicago Magic competition, Chicagoland’s premier magic competition, and in Las Vegas, he won a $1000 scholarship to the Sorcerers Summer Safari magic camp. A three-time winner of the Lance Burton award of excellence, Bill just recently returned from the World Magic Seminar, an international magic competition held in Las Vegas where he took 2nd place out of all the competitors from around the globe,in both the Teen Stage Competition and the International close-up magic competition.

His most recent accomplishment was winning first place, and the prestigious people's choice award at the Chicago magic competition in July 2008.

Bill's talents include a wide variety of magic, ranging from intimate close-up magic, to walk-around magic, to birthday party magic and all the way up to stage performances.

For Bill, magic is not just a career, but a way of life. He is a believer that magic is a way to connect to people. Magic breaks all language barriers. He believes that magic can be incorporated into almost any aspect of a person's life, because magic is all around us.

And of course, the motto that Bill lives by:
"For those who believe, no magic is necessary. For those who do not, none will suffice."
