Good - -U? in magic to a Lewis book of card tricks and a beat-up deck of cards. At age 10 he performed his first magic show and continued performing throughout his school years. After high scfTool, Garner began working on a local ABC-TV show called The Cleveland Comedy Company, which helped him perfect his comedy skills. Being in front of the camera was not enough for him compared to a live audience, so Garner returned to the stage with a new comedic flavor to his act. He said he knew that he did not want to be categorized with magicians who tell one-liners or comedians who do gag tricks. Audiences acclaim the tender balance of humor and prestidigitation that distinguishes this Ohio native as a man with a full bag of tricks over one shoulder and a full bag of laughs slung over the other.
