How to get there
Although most would agree that his gadgets are totally awesome, it’s Eric’s personality that wins audiences over. His high-energy, and hilarious act has been called, “Pure Art, Pure Madness!” It combines crazy inventions and Eric’s high-octane sugar rush of comedy into a non-stop ride of mischief and magical gadgetry that most people could never imagine. Eric has performed around the world and on “The Late Show” with David Letterman. In fact, Letterman called his performance “Tremendous and sensational!” And, as 10 million people watched, he managed to win over one of the most difficult audiences in television- the audience of “America’s Got Talent.” Eric’s most well-known, yet non-magical contraption is his Bubble Wrap Bike. After his bike video on YouTube went viral, news and TV shows all over the world picked up the footage. Jimmy Kimmel liked it so much he had his sidekick Guillermo ride Eric’s bike on the show. Kimmel called it “beautiful” and compared Eric to Da Vinci.
A Second City Comedy School graduate, he has performed on five continents and on TV in seven countries, including a one-hour Korean television special solely dedicated to his performance. Other career highlights include winning first prize on SyFy’s “Wizard Wars,” opening for William Shatner at the “Just for Laughs” Comedy Festival in Montreal, entertaining U.S. troops in Afghanistan, and appearing at Japan’s “Daidogie” festival – one of the world’s largest performing arts festivals of its kind. Now, at the age of “adult,” Eric spends most of his time pursuing his childhood passions either in his own workshop in Los Angeles or on stages around the world performing his clever brand of comedy, glued to his unique style of magic, bolted to his original props, duck-taped to his energetic personality.
