Andy, aka The Professional Showoff, can’t decide what to be – so he does it all. Magic, juggling, comedy, even robotics! Some would say that collectively his skills are his career, others would say that procrastination worked out in the end. For five years, he’s performed globally to audiences at sea with Virgin Voyages (Spark Cooperative), P&O Cruises (The Purple Rabbit, Strut & Fret) and Royal Caribbean (Global Talent Agency), blending magic, juggling and robotics into a one-of-a-kind act. Other titles include The Charmer, Beer Wizard and Admiral Awesome – now see him as The Professional Showoff.
