Matt Baker has been performing magic since the age of 10.  He has won multiple awards for his magic, including the Atlanta Society of Magicians' “Top Dog” trophy and the 2015 Greater Atlanta Magician of the Year award.  Don’t expect rabbits and hats: Matt’s specialty is sleight-of-hand card magic, but he also performs astonishing feats of mind reading and has been known to make impossible things happen with coins, rubber bands, and finger rings.  Matt performs strolling magic at cocktail parties and also does formal close-up and stage shows at banquets, fundraisers, schools, and private events.  He loves creating original magic routines, and his work has been featured in some of the leading magic journals in the world (including Genii and The Linking Ring).  He is currently working on a book of original magic.
