At the age of ten, Tye’s cousin, a clown and magician taught Tye the secrets of magic. Five years later a magic store appeared in the neighborhood. That was his new home for the next four years where he worked, played and practiced. The Los Angeles Times featured Tye in a full-page picture. At nineteen, he was accepted into a prestigious program at the Magic Castle in Hollywood for world-class magicians. He was trained to be a professional and became both a performer and lecturer at the Castle. Today, thousands of performances later, Tye has a successful career he loves.
