A Funny Guy: The Life Story Of Los Angeles Magician Robert Baxt
His parents not being able to afford to send him to driving school, let alone college, Robert worked his way through performing at children’s birthday parties, picnics, comedy clubs, and corporate events. Upon graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Film and Theater, he was presented with the dual opportunities of being accepted to both Ringling Brothers Clown College and Law School. Without hesitation, our hero chose the one he felt would give him the better training for a life in comedy: Law School!
Attaining his juris doctorate degree from an accredited New York City law school, Robert realized that no one ever applauded an attorney after a hard day of cheating people. So forsaking a career in the hallowed halls of the judiciary, he turned to a full-time career in show business.
Los Angeles magician Robert Baxt is ready to make your next event unforgettable. With his unique sense of humor, Robert is always on the move. Whether he’s on stage, behind the camera, writing his next great work, on television, or just using his distinctive delivery for voice-overs, be on the watch for a funny guy: ROBERT BAXT!
