- I am faculty advisor to the Society of Harvard Undergraduate
Magicians (SHAM).
We performed a magic show for the Harvard Club of Merrimac Valley on
February 25, 2023 which was videorecorded and
posted on youtube.
It's worth watching the whole video, but
the four tricks I performed can be found at times 13:35,
25:42, 1:01:02, and 1:18:38.

Chessable
(click on the "View Our Active Scientific Research" banner)
