#2 – 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.

#3 – 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.

#4 - 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.

Anton has three different thirty minute shows, as well as a one hour show. He can perform in even the most difficult circumstances, whether on stage, in a banquet room, or three-quarter-round cabaret, and in front of any size audience. Because he depends on pure sleight-of-hand rather than mechanical props, stage, music, and lighting requirements are kept to a minimum.

#5 – 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 video: Chef Anton's Magical Menu of Pool Ball Wizardry.
