Never in his wildest dreams did lifelong baseball fan Dick imagine that magic would be his ticket into the world of sports. Yet, since he began performing several years ago, he’s made appearances at three All-Star games, spring training, baseball fantasy camps, sky boxes, and celebrity golf tournaments. A West Point grad, Steiner stumbled into magic after a 21-year Army career. "It’s not like having Uncle Harry pluck a quarter out of your ear," says Steiner, whose forte is sophisticated sorcery—using close-up magic to amaze his adult audiences at corporate events and private parties. And as much as he’s loved his second career, he does have one regret: After performing for Shirley MacLaine, the noted reincarnation-believing actress, he laments he missed a great line. "She asked me how long I’d been doing magic," he says. "I should have said 600 years." |
