This original one of a kind show features magic, comedy and swing music. This premium blend of entertainment delivers a variety of 'hipness' that leaps off the stage and onto your table. Kozak shakes, not stirs his talents by combining his magic and comedy, topping it off with the jump'n- jive'n sounds of his"Invisible" swing band. Kozak amazes his audience with award winning sleight-of-hand artistry combined with his biting improvisational style of comedy garnished sleight-ly with a touch of flash.

With Kozak's rare and daring style of magic anything is likely to happen including being asked to give a Command Performance for Prince Charles and Princess Diana as part of the 'Prince's Royal Trust Gala' at the London Palladium. Kozak was appearing on British television when the producers of the Royal Gala saw him and insisted that he be included in the event. To quote the producers 'the show was already booked full and at the last minute Kozak was chosen to "close the show". Which included Sean Connery, Sting, Peter Gabriel, Elton John etc...

Just as he impressed the Royal Family, Kozak has become a favorite on the comedy club circuit achieving "Headliner" status immediately, which is rare for a Magician. Kozak has had numerous appearances on TV including, Showtime, H.B.O., The Late Show, Comic Strip Live. Evening at the lmprov, several "George Schlatter" comedy specials, BBC1 & BBC2, London Weekend TV, The Canadian Broadcasting Network, and The Global Network.

Kozak's beginnings as a Magician are not typical at all. While waiting for his discharge from the navy, where his job was decoding top-secret messages, Kozak found a book on magic in a book store and after thumbing through it he knew at that moment destiny was calling him. From that point on, he read every book on magic he could find and practiced all of the moves and techniques of sleight of hand for hours on end.

Kozak studied magic with the same seriousness as if he was studying for his master's degree. These newly acquired skills did not go unnoticed. He soon won the prestigious International Brotherhood of Magicians Sleight of Hand Competition, awarded a Gold medal and declared to be the best slight of hand magician in the world. Kozak's comedy career began at the Pittsburgh Comedy club where he was the house M.C. along with Dennis Miller. After only headlining for a short period of time, Kozak became the only variety act to ever become a finalist in the prestigious San Francisco Comedy Competition.
