William Kennedy is well known in the specialized world of magicians and illusionists. He makes magic.

His work is based in a long tradition—utilizing optical principals and subtle designs to cheat the eye and mystify an audience. Professional performers require well-crafted props that look stylish, can be easily packed and transported, and operate dependably under a wide variety of conditions.

Magicians also look for innovation—new materials, finishes and building techniques that insure quality and deception. In this mix of dependability and innovation, William Kennedy has established his reputation.

Each prop is custom built. Kennedy’s shop in Ventura, California has created some of the finest illusions for the profession's best-known performers, mystifying millions in television specials, Las Vegas spectaculars or Broadway shows.
