We’re looking forward to introducing you to Confetti Eddie. Check out our conversation below.

Hi Confetti , thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to share your story, experiences and insights with our readers. Let’s jump right in with an interesting one: What is something outside of work that is bringing you joy lately?
Outside of my. work the thing that. brings me. joy. is performing magic for audiences. I look forward to show nights. It’s great to meet new people and share. a fun experience together.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Confetti Eddie I am a magician and an artist. I like to combine my talents. I am also a confetti connoisseur, and paper prestidigitator.

Appreciate your sharing that. Let’s talk about your life, growing up and some of topics and learnings around that. Who were you before the world told you who you had to be?
I was an artist for many years. I owned an art gallery in an arts neighborhood. I regularly booked art shows and various performances. I enjoyed helping creatives bring their vision to life with video and lighting. I spent many years behind the scenes working various events. During all those years I carried an interest in magic it would manifest in my work from time to time. In 2012 I went to Burning Man. I had a great experience and a desire to return to magic and to become a magician.

Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
There have been. times where it seems like progress is slow going. I learned to spend those slow periods by refining my work and process.

So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. Whose ideas do you rely on most that aren’t your own?
I am a student at Jeff McBride’s Magic and Mystery School in Las Vegas, Jeff is my magic mentor and teacher. We meet once a month over Zoom and he helps me with my magic. We have a great student teacher relationship. I make sure to practice and implement the lessons I learn during our classroom sessions.

Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. If you knew you had 10 years left, what would you stop doing immediately?
If I knew I only had 10 years left I would stop being so timid and just take bigger chances sooner.

13 Stars One cut - Confetti Eddie

CONFETTI EDDIE RESURRECTS LOST ART OF PAPER CUTTING—WITH ONE CUT, 13 STARS ARE BORN

Dallas, TX – July 5, 2025— In an era of high-tech illusions and digital dazzle, one magician is making headlines by reviving a nearly forgotten American art form—with a single snip of paper. Confetti Eddie, magician, visual poet, and one of the last living masters of traditional paper cutting, has shocked audiences and critics alike with a jaw-dropping new act: creating 13 perfect stars with a single fold and a single cut.

A student of the world’s greatest magic teacher Jeff McBride, Confetti Eddie blends the mystery of classic stage magic with the nostalgic charm of Americana. His act is a love letter to America’s lost traditions—performed with scissors and paper instead of smoke and mirrors.

“This is not just a trick,” says McBride. “It’s a resurrection. Confetti Eddie has brought paper cutting—an endangered cultural craft—back to life, and given it the spotlight it deserves on the modern magic stage.”

MAGIC, HISTORY & HUMOR IN ONE CUTTING EDGE ACT

Confetti Eddie’s show is more than sleight of hand—it’s a celebration of storytelling, history, and craft. Dressed in vintage attire and armed with wit as sharp as his scissors, Eddie leads audiences through a journey into the heart of Americana. With each fold of paper and each dramatic cut, he creates symbols that resonate with patriotic pride and nostalgic magic.

The 13 stars? A tribute to the original American colonies, evoking the era of hand-cut flags and handmade dreams. But Eddie’s performances aren’t confined to history—they are infused with comedy, contemporary flair, and heartfelt wonder, connecting generations old and new.

A NATIONAL TREASURE REBORN

With paper cutting designated as a vanishing folk art, Confetti Eddie’s revival couldn’t come at a better time. Cultural institutions, educators, and magic lovers across the country are taking notice. Already a fixture in Dallas’s art and performance scene, Eddie is now booking shows nationwide and inspiring a new wave of handmade magic.

This is more than a performance—it’s a cultural moment.

BOOKINGS & MEDIA INQUIRIES

Confetti Eddie is available for live performances, media interviews, and cultural arts events.
