Inspired by the stories of legendary card cheats, confidence men, and conjurers, William’s work has been refined and developed to captivate audiences by pulling them into his world of artful deception through the lens of human behaviour.

And from a background built off discipline and quiet observation, his approach to sleight of hand is no different—his study is both methodical and intuitive; qualities that give his performances rare precision and emotional depth.

From his formative years spent in the military to time spent aboard super-yachts in the Mediterranean, and even later serving for a brief time as a sworn police officer, William’s life has become a unique story within itself.

Through Deceptive Strategies, he channels this rich and unconventional journey into a singular goal: to share the timeless allure of card table conjuring and psychological misdirection with your guests across the most beautiful corners of Tropical North Queensland.

Every performance is tailored for those seeking an experience that’s both elegant and unforgettable—one that lingers in the minds of your guests long after the last card is shown.
