I give new meaning to "black magic".

About the Artist

Dakota began practicing magic illusions at age 15, and had her very first live performance after only 6 months of training. She has studied with and under greats such as Jeremy Tan, Alex Pandrea, Bill Gross, Denny Haney, and Baltimore's own Spencer Horsman. With charisma reminiscent of Copperfield and visual style akin to Dan Sperry and Criss Angel, she has wowed audiences for nearly twenty years across the country.
