We had the good fortune of connecting with Siegfried Tieber and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Siegfried, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
Steve Martin observed, wisely, that perseverance is a great substitute for talent. I agree. Whatever success I have achieved, is the result of dedication to the point of stubbornness. Not being too afraid of making mistakes and trying again with optimism.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I’m a Los Angeles-based performer and sleight-of-hand magician. I was born and raised in Ecuador and my first international appearance was in 2011 in Bogotá, Colombia. In 2015, I headlined at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the largest arts festival in the world. My work has been featured in media outlets such as Huffington Post, Los Angeles Times and Forbes. I love every moment of what I do, on and off the stage.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
The Magic Castle in Hollywood! An exclusive private club created to advance the art of magic. There is no other place like it in the whole wide world.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My friend David Stryker, a full-time professional performer who has for many years been a source of support and inspiration.
