Bruce Sorgman with Judy the Mind-Reading Chicken!
He's entertained at thousands of events, including
many schools, libraries, festivals, private parties and corporate functions.
Bruce attended George Washington High School in Charleston and
Miami-Dade Community College in FL. He lived in Chicago in the
70's and later came back to Charleston where he and his best friend,
Marvin Vigadi (a singer/songwriter in Chicago), opened a restaurant
on Capitol Street. It was called Sorgy's and was the first restaurant
in the Kanawha Valley to offer all the peanuts you could eat and throw
the shells on the floor, foot-long hot-dogs, deep-fried breaded mushrooms,
and a unique beverage called 'Green River' (a dark green lime soda)
Although he still has a deep love for the "Windy City" and returns frequently,
he makes his home in Charleston. He's happily married, has two daughters and
two grandsons.
Most of his performances are outside the Charleston area. He is frequently
called upon to perform in Ohio, Kentucky & throughout West Virginia.
Appx. 90% of his performances are private affairs (banquets, conventions,
award ceremonies, school shows, birthday & anniversary parties, etc).
He has different shows available, and depending on whether the show is for
adults or children, each performance is customized for that specific group.
However, due to a busy schedule and family commitments he limits his
performances to only several a month.
Over the years, Bruce has written several books about magic and has
taught magic classes. Several of his students went on to become very
competent magicians.
His magic, psychological deceptions and sleight-of-hand are astonishing...
and his superb one-liners give his performances a 'special touch' that
always fascinates his audiences!
You won't find a performer who loves his craft any more than Bruce Sorgman!
