Nickerson, 26, has been performing slight-of-hand tricks and illusions since he was 10, and will readily admit that learning magic was difficult in the beginning.

Michael Jackson’s personal magician Majestik Magnificent dies at 61..
Majestik Magnificent, the one-time personal magician to the late Michael Jackson, has died at 61 years old. The professional magician died Friday (Feb. 19) after a long battle with cancer, Radar Online reports.
It’s believed that toward the end of his battle with brain cancer, Jackson’s mother Katherine helped pay many of Majestik’s medical bills, amounting to over $1 million. The magician also reportedly moved into her compound to live.
Jackson’s sister La Toya tweeted out her condolences to Magnificent, writing, “Majestik You Brought Us Love Joy And Laughter! May You Rest In Peace!” She also shared a picture with the magician taken inside a casino.
During his career, Magnificent also served as a personal magician to Mohammed Ali. It was with Jackson that he gained notoriety, though.
