William Pack Magic Updates on Chicago magician, writer, and historian, William Pack I graduated from the Chavez College of Manual Dexterity and Prestidigitation.

Raised on the Southwest side of Chicago, I got his first job in a magic shop at the age of 11 and have been perfecting my trade ever since. I am an award winning magician and storyteller, Victorian séance reenactor, former card cheat, ex-casino surveillance, occasional author, and world-renowned magic historian. I demonstrated magic for 13 year at Chicago’s Navy Pier and performed close-up magic for 5 years at Schulien’s Restaurant. In 2001, I taught actor Will Smith sleight of hand for his portrayal of Muhammad Ali in the film, Ali. Besides, performing stand-up and close-up magic for corporate and private events, I now get to share my love of history by performing adult educational programs at over 80 libraries a year.
