It seems that the older I get, the less I know. If I live long enough I'm not going to know anything.

Donal Chayce, a member of the world-famous Magic Castle in Hollywood, began studying magic at the tender age of 8. As an adolescent he performed at school talent shows, church socials and children’s birthday parties, and during his college years he continued to perfect his act as part of a variety show troupe that toured detention camps throughout the Southwest, amazing numerous captive audiences. By the time he was 25 he’d won a TV talent contest, performed professionally in nightclubs and at corporate events, and opened for Cheap Trick.
After moving to New York City to further pursue a double career in magic and musical theatre, Donal ultimately took an unexpected hiatus from performing when he was offered the chance to work behind the scenes as a television production executive. Since then he has helped to produce more than a dozen TV series, including Emmy Award-winners "24" and "Arrested Development", and over thirty TV movies and miniseries as well. But the siren call of the stage continued, and in 2006 “The MacGician” was born.
