Joe Ledoux believes that magic is not about tricks and entertainment, but rather that Magic is a Fine Art. His whole life has been devoted to a path of ‘Art as Magic," and he blends his three favorite art forms: sleight of hand, skateboarding, and painting.
Joe graduated from Massachusetts College of Art. He has performed in many galleries and museums, including the Dorchester Art Project and the Institute of Contemporary Art. He was named a Polly Thayer Starr Artist at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. He is a member of the McBride Magic and Mystery School in Las Vegas, and also performed with Le Grand David - which held the Guinness world record for the longest running magic show. Joe has been mentored by some of the best artists in the world, including: director of the Simpsons Mark Kirkland, magic star Jeff McBride, and legendary animator Ralph Bakshi, who passed down a painting trick to Joe that was taught to him by Norman Rockwell. Joe also invented and published a new theory on how to visualize a HyperCube, and the acclaimed mathematician Thomas Banchoff (who consulted for Salvador Dali) told him it was "Nice Work." |
