Performing professionally for the past 15 years, Ryne Strom has dazzled spectators across the country, performing from Hollywood to New York City. Strom was ‘bit by the magic bug’ at an early age due to the influence of his uncle, world famous illusionist Terry Evanswood. Spending countless hours learning the art of magic, Strom would take any opportunity to perform for classmates, friends, family, or anyone willing to watch. His first paid show occurred at the age of eight years old, marking the beginning of his professional career in magic. Magic has truly been his life passion, which shines through in his performance.
Ryne was inducted into the Society of American Magicians and International Brotherhood of Magicians by sponsors Terry Evanswood and Marshall Brodien (known for his TV Magic Cards and his role as Wizzo on the Bozo Show) and is also a proud member of the International Magicians Society and Academy of Magical Arts. Ryne is also currently a student at the Chavez Studio of Magic, the world’s most prestigious school for manual dexterity and prestidigitation.

Tired of the typical magic shows produced today, Strom wanted to create a theatrical experience that set him apart from other magicians. He combines illusions, acting, music, comedy, and audience participation to make up an unforgettable experience. Ryne has spent his life building his show into the grand scale illusion show that it is today and will always enjoy watching his audiences transform into children for just a couple of magical hours.
Ryne has also utilized his magic skills in other lines of work. He has been the creative/technical director and illusion consultant for The Haunted Manor, a family-friendly haunted house, for the past ten years. Unlike typical haunted houses that contain blood and guts, The Haunted Manor was created to be a magical experience set in a Victorian mansion with 10,000 square feet of scary fun with secret passageways, ghosts, and scary surprises. Strom was also recently flown out to Hollywood to be the art director for an episode of a new series entitled ‘Dark Room Theater Presents’ which is currently being pitched to major television companies, so stay tuned!
