Biography

"America's Most Weird and Marvelous Exhibition"

"Astounding! You'd be hard pressed to see this kind of amazing entertainment from anyone else."

          Dai Andrews has traveled the world seeking hidden knowledge and forgotten arts. He has studied with Yogis and Martial artists, Magicians and Fakirs, learning and perfecting their arts in order to bring his audience a performance of strange feats and unusual abilities unlike any previously witnessed.

          His performance features a wide range of magic, escape artistry and a host of other skills infused with comedy and accompanied by an original musical score.

          Thirteen years ago, at the age of seventeen, Dai began his professional career in his hometown of Baltimore, Maryland.  One year later, Dai would find himself in Europe where he perfected his craft under the most trying conditions. While in Europe, Dai’s act met with great success; he was photographed for Time magazine, performed for television, and as a part of the prestigious "Commedia del Atre".

"Humorous and riveting...Dai's show will leave you with your heart in your throat... I loved what I saw..." -Jeanne Moos, CNN

          Since that time, Dai has performed all over the world, from Baltimore to Barcelona, Johannesburg to Tokyo giving demonstrations in more than thirty countries on five continents.  He is a headline entertainer at casinos, festivals, colleges, and as a feature entertainer for Carnival Cruise lines for six years. He has appeared on television more than 50 times, including Jimmy Kimmel live, the Discovery Channel and an internationally broadcast story on CNN, and has been the focus of many newspaper and magazine articles.

          Dai has successfully run several of his own productions, including the theatrical seance "An Experience in Spirit Theater", and a benefit show for the Maryland Food Bank. Between his performances on the international stage, Dai Andrews studies and teaches the Xingyiquan style of Chinese Kung Fu. He also enjoys restoring vintage cars and motorcycles, gardening in the Asian style, and creating sculpture in metal and other works of fine art.
