Bio: A muggle-born from a family of magicians working for a traveling circus. Despite being American, he goes to Hogwarts as the circus was on an European tour when he turned 11. He likes Magic tricks, being especially good at card tricks and slight of hand, and can often be seen doing a card spring flourish when he’s bored. He sees the validity in stage Magicians, even with real magic, and often mixes the two style in order to make magic more flashy and give tricks more substance.

He wants to join the Ministry of Magic someday, as he believes magicians could be a big help to keeping the magical world a secret. Anytime some magic thing happens in front of muggles, instead of having to round them up and blank their memories, they could just have a Magician come out and say it was part of some big stunt, and they’d all just write it off as a Magic trick.
