Simon's live engagements have received wide acclaim. Simon's performed all over the world, from the famous Magic Castle in Hollywood to the London Palladium, through the Middle and Far East to Australia and South America. Whatever the group, he has never failed to please them!  Free for Ring 50 members and all other magicians are welcome to attend for a $15 fee.
