An award-winning performer, Hoffman is recognized as one of the top mentalists in the world. His passion for the mysterious was sparked at a young age and led him to study the art of magic.

Later, through extensive self-studies in sociology, psychology, and human behavior, Hoffman was able to develop the foundation of his skills today. His show is a high-energy presentation that combines mind-reading and visual magic that will amaze you. The audience experiences seemingly supernatural phenomena in a fun and upbeat way.

Hoffman has appeared on America’s Got Talent, National Geographic, and CNN. Click here for more information.

Each year, the gala draws more than 300 members of the community to an event that is dedicated to the continued academic success of WCU students. Since its inception in 1983, the benefit has raised more than $1.2 million for students through a renewable, four-year Presidential Scholarship, which is designed to provide financial assistance to students who have demonstrated a commitment to academic excellence.
