He was born in Sydney, Australia, but spent the majority of his youth residing in different countries including Japan and Hong-Kong before finally moving with his family to California, United States. By the age of 10, he had already displayed a natural talent in playing cards as well as a keen interest in the field of magic. Unfortunately, his parents had no such plans in mind for their son's future career in being a magician, but instead promptly entered him into private-schooling at Quarry Bay School (Private K-9 School) in Hong-Kong in order to groom and prepare his advancement in the field of law.
In 1996 his family moved to Cupertino, California where he received his middle-school (Harker School) and high-school (Menlo School) education. It was there that he met Seth Gimlan (who later turned out to be one of his closest friends), who sparked his interest in movies and entertainment industry. After graduating high-school, Li was accepted into University of California, Santa Barbara where he received his B.A in Political Science and minor in French. It was there that he met Jason Latimer (FISM 2003 World Champion Of Magic Grand Prix (Close-up) winner) during a late-night impromptu performance in the dorms.
