Tommy Wind, born and raised in Staten Island, NY, fell in love with magic at the age of seven when his grandfather showed him his first magic trick, the "vanishing hanky." From that moment, Tommy was hooked, and devoted his time to learning everything he could about the art of magic. He progressed steadily on from there, learning from every source he could, which included books and the internet, until he eventually became a master magician himself.
At 13 years old, he received his first job as a magician at a local restaurant performing sleight of hand for the customers. Throughout his teens, he cultivated his art, performing at the local zoo theater which led him to landing his first casino show in Atlantic City at the Tropicana Hotel and Casino. Tommy's next big break came at the age of nineteen, when he was awarded Teen Magician of the Year by the World Magic Awards on national television. After his first national television appearance, Tommy started performing for audiences in countless venues, ranging from New York City to Atlantic City, which lead to his first headline residency on the Las Vegas Strip.
For the past 10 years, Tommy has headlined his full evening show in Las Vegas. The first venue was the Greek Isle Resort and Casino, which lead to a headline contract at the Boulevard Theater, which eventually turned into a five-year contract at his own Tommy Wind Theater in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip. Most recently, Tommy was one of the stars of the Masters of Illusion LIVE show inside the iconic Jubilee Theater at Bally's Hotel and Casino. During this time, Tommy starred as one of the illusionists on the hit TV series Masters of Illusion on the CW network, which is viewed by two million people per episode. Tommy has been featured on over 25 episodes of Masters of Illusion over the past six seasons, leading to countless other TV shows like The Hollywood Christmas Parade, Access Hollywood, and many more. Tommy is a critically acclaimed illusionist and winner of the Merlin Award for World's Best Family Magic Show.
Tommy Wind is a Las Vegas headliner, a television celebrity illusionist, and an award-winning magician. Access Hollywood referred to Tommy as an “Illusionist Extraordinaire!”
