When Joe was 9 years old a relative demonstrated a magic trick. From then on Joe was fascinated by magic and vowed to spend the rest of his earthly time practising similar tricks.

Joe explored the continent of Europe at a young age, landing in London and joining the Magic Circle. This absorbing hobby then set about absorbing his life.

An experience acting as a Russian character inspired Joe to create a comedy ex-KGB personality, thus Boris Nicoli was born.
