Paul Vigil is known as one of the most accomplished magicians / mentalists in the world.
He has been practicing the art of magic since the age of five, and ten years later Paul undertook the challenge of becoming a professional performer. Within a further year Paul had become one of the most in-demand performers in his native Salt Lake City.
Magic’s favorite city soon called for Paul to join the ranks of the industry’s leaders, and in 2002 Paul moved to Las Vegas. He soon established himself as one of the finest performers the city has to offer.
Alongside a full and demanding performance career, Paul’s creative contributions have not gone unnoticed by his peers. A multiple-time nominee and winner of the “Magic Trick of the Year Award,” he has been invited to present his theories, ideas, and concepts to other performers in his noted lectures and seminars all over the world.
With numerous performances at every major Las Vegas casino, full-house shows at the World Famous Magic Castle in Hollywood, and private performances for Nobel Laureates and fortune 500 CEOs, he is ready to bring his unique type of wonder and astonishment to sophisticated audiences the world over.
Paul has appeared on several hit TV shows, including the Emmy award-winning Penn & Teller’s Bullsh!t, as well as Fool Us, and Hocus Pocus hosted by Fielding West and Teresa Livingstone.
You might think that with all of this under his belt he would only be able to talk about one thing: magic. However, nothing could be further from the truth. Paul is as smart as his magic is mystifying. He is known to be a wonderful guest and is often used as an ambassador of good will by companies, incorporating his magic into mingling with guests as the ultimate ice-breaker.
After graduating high school, Paul attended Utah State University on the “Minority Leadership Award Scholarship” and “All-American Academic Scholarship” for a number of years. He then became the recipient of the “Botanical Preservation Corp. Scholarship,” which led him to study the ethno-pharmacology and magic used throughout history, which Paul has continued to study and combine with his theatrical performances.
