When anyone asked what his job was he would respond by saying "I go to parties for a living." He was very well known in the magic community as well as on Long Island. He performed at David Copperfield's birthday party. He performed on many occasions for famous people such as James Gandolfini, Robert DeNiro, Mickey Rourke, Didi Conn and too many to list. He also had a dog act where he performed with a Boston Terrier named Magic the Dog. They appeared on The View as well as on the animal planet on a show called Pet Stars with Mario Lopez.

Bill will be deeply missed but will never be forgotten by all who knew and loved him and enjoyed his magic for all those years. He's in heaven performing magic again with his "best friends".
