When I perform it’s really magic. I can walk into someone’s home as a stranger, and after my performance, I’m become part of the family. I have the crowd in the palm of my hands.” says Phil.

Phil was voted BEST ENTERTAINER by a leading family magazine – 5 times, and was elected into the Hall of Fame.
