Whether on stage or performing close-up, Chef Anton’s unique blend of daring pick-pocketing and dazzling sleight-of-hand will energize your hospitality suite. Mystified onlookers are always treated to one of the most entertaining acts in prestidigitation.

Just ask Minnesota Fats, Richard Pryor, and Martin Sheen if they are now believers in Anton’s wizardly ability. Each had their watch surreptitiously removed from their wrist, only to appear in a sealed envelope, inside the magician’s zippered wallet. Anton’s sleight of hand was never so miraculously received.

Your guests will be talking about this evening long after the trade show is over.

Award Winning Trick Shot Exhibition

 Unlike anything you have ever seen.  Two years in a row, Chef Anton won The United States Trick Shot Championships.  This original and creative show is the perfect blend of mind-boggling pool ball wizardry and dazzling sleight of hand.  The audience is stunned as a cue stick appears from a ball of fire.  They burst into applause as a spectator from the crowd pockets 10 balls in one shot.  They laugh uncontrollably as another bystander gets a pool ball shot out of his mouth.  And they explode in unison as a spectator’s signed playing card is impaled in mid air at the end of Chef Anton’s cue stick.

 Strolling Close Up Magic 

As seen at The Magic Castle in Hollywood, Chef Anton educates the onlookers as to how easily simple honest folk can be taken by a swindler like himself.  This highly entertaining routine includes classic cons such as The Three Card Monte and Shell Game; as well as, lesser known swindles like Fast and Loose, Guessing Game, and Dice Stacking.  Unlike when Chef Anton used to perform on the streets of New York, at the end of this show, he does return the watches, wallets, and rings he stole off his unsuspecting marks.

 Stage Magic

 On stage, Chef Anton combines wit, humor, and audience participation with unbelievable sleight-of-hand and daring pick pocketing to weave a spell of enchantment and deception for all.  Through real life experiences growing up on the streets of New York, Anton proves the age old adage, “Never try to hustle a hustler.”  The audience for the first time is able to see the world through the eyes of a con man.  Onlookers in fact become his confederates, as they together put the sting on an unsuspecting spectator.  As the con unfolds, the audience, the on-stage volunteers, and the Grifter are caught up in a mystifying web of comedy and trickery with a climax that has to be seen to be believed.

 Sharp Shooting

Chef Anton has been deemed “The Harlem Globe Trotters of Pool.”  Besides being a professional trick shot and con artist, Chef Anton is a world-class pool player as well.  This interactive show blends Chef Anton’s incredible pool skills with his warm and entertaining personality.  He will accept 8-Ball challenge matches from all spectators.  Anyone who plays will receive an autographed picture and those who win will receive an autographed copy of his award-winning book:  The Pool Hustler's Handbook:  The Fifty Best Billiard Brain Teasers.
