What does it take to become magic's only Two-Time Gold Medal Champion? Only one magician has ever successfully discovered the answer: George Saterial. By merging a truly original concept with classic style, an obsession with perfection, charisma and tireless practice and work, George Saterial has achieved arguably magic's greatest feat.

George has become the first and only magician in the world to receive magic's highest and most coveted honors, the "Gold Medal of Excellence," from the industry's foremost associations - The International Brotherhood of Magicians and the Society of American Magicians. It's rare that either award is given - in nearly 20 years they have been granted a combined total of only seven times. George was awarded both honors in the same year.

The award-winning routine is entitled "Timeless Magic," as time literally seems to stand still when this classically inspired piece is set in motion. Set at the spellbinding hour of midnight, George uses an impressive grandfather clock as the act's centerpiece.

Like clockwork, candles, handkerchiefs, and even doves magically appear and disappear. Simultaneously, the inner workings of the timepiece are incorporated into the illusion, right down to the clock's sphere and pendulum. Most importantly, it's George's endearing smile, playful, charming (and even a bit flirtatious) persona, and unparalleled magical talent and skill that win audiences over.
