Dyna Staats
Dyna Staats has been carving her name in magic with her different style of prestidigitation since 2004 when she started learning and performing magic while working at Disneyland in Anaheim California. Since then, Dyna has traveled all over the country to share her show with as many people as possible. Her smooth blending of magic and science bring about a wondrous experience for anyone who dares to watch and learn.
Dyna first made her appearance on the Steampunk scene at the Gaslight Gathering Steampunk Convention in San Diego California in May of 2011. Since then she has performed at numerous different Steampunk events in various fantastic venues from the Queen Mary in Long Beach California to The Old Tucsan Film Studios in Tucsan Arizona to the Steampunk World's Fair in Piscataway New Jersey.
In October of the same year, Dyna performed her first show in Las Vegas, Nevada at Jeff McBride's Wonderground, debuting her steampunk themed science to the magic community for the first time. After getting the magic community's attention, Dyna eventually became a member of the Academy of Magical Arts (The Magic Castle) on May 5th of 2014. She would go on to perform many times in Las Vegas (including many more times at the Wonderground) and in 2016 Dyna moved to Las Vegas to make performing magic her full time job.
On February 19th, 2021, Dyna reached a milestone in her life by performing for the second time on the CW Network television show Penn & Teller: Fool Us for the very first time as her true self. Making it historical for a couple of reasons. Not only as her first show as the real her but also as the first time an openly trans person has performed on Fool Us in the 7 seasons it had been on the air.
