Since then, he began practicing on his own, performing magic tricks and illusion for friends and family. Since then he has gone on to perform on America’s Got Talent and for audiences around the globe. His fresh approach to his material is unparalleled in the world of magic and illusion. Zimet performed at Gan Miriam’s in Riverdale, NY. The Jewish Week caught up with Zimet after the show to learn about his inspiration, how he keeps his tricks original and more. Watch the video here:
