DEWAYNE HILL WAS BORN IN BROOKLYN, NY AND GREW UP IN CHARLESTON, WEST VIRGINIA.
At the age of 13 he found a love for working out and bodybuilding. He quickly learned team sports was not a great fit for his personality, so he turned all of his energy into bodybuilding. From 1995 to 2000, Dewayne competed in various bodybuilding competitions.
While he was 16 he watched substitute teacher have a profound impact on the rest of his life. The teacher and coached performed a card trick and the sparked an extreme interest. Dewayne's plan was to learn card sleights and cheat at poker, but performing for strangers became very second nature.
​
Six months after practicing, Dewayne started booking performance shows around his area and got his first official gig at a Church. This caught the attention of a local TV producer. Dewayne's TV appearance landed him a front page newspaper article. That ignited a flood of performances that would eventually lead to paying and funding Dewayne's college.
Majoring in K-12 education, Dewayne started working for the State Government at a graphic designer. He magic business grew too fast and he quit his government job and went into the classroom part time.
​
Dewayne quickly branded himself as THE Magician for the entire state of WV. But hunger for growth, he got a second home location in Florida and re-booted his business.
