J'ai trouvé ça:
"Mystery (Erik von Markovik) was born Erik James Horvat-Markovic in Toronto, Canada. He grew up and lived there until his late 20s when he moved to L.A. to develop his career as a Pick Up Artist. He has one brother.
In his early life Mystery was fascinated by Magic, and notes that David Copperfield was an idol. He learned to perform magic tricks, worked at kids party's and eventually had his own agent and worked as a magician entertainer full time.
Mystery was not always good at getting with women. He openly admits that he had difficulty in picking women up early in his life and often spent his time playing Dungeons and Dragons while honing his skills as a magician. He had sex for the first time when he was 21 years old.
By the year 2000, Mystery, by his own account, was getting paid $1,500 per night to work as a magician at corporate events. He even made an appearance on CTV's late-night Open Mike talk show with Mike Bullard.
However, to make it as a magician, he knew he would have to become known in the U.S. So he moved to Los Angeles, where he spent over a year trying to land himself a television spot that would showcase his talent as a magician. However, his money ran out before he found it and he had to return to Toronto.
He was now 29, and back in Toronto was unable to get the gigs he has usually got and as a consequence was broke. He moved in with his brother.
Now 2001, Mystery was already putting his skills with magic to another use in a new role, as a pick up artist. The unlucky turn of events with his career in magic effectively forced him to turn to his talent as a pick up artist to make money.
Mystery has a daughter born in mid 2008. Little is publicly known about the mother of the child, although she was seen in 2009 and 2010 in public with Mystery.
On April 1st 2011 an email was sent out from Venusian Arts announcing that Mystery (Erik von Markovik) had met an unfortunate accident and died. The email created a lot of speculation but turned out to be an April Fool's joke."

Donc c'est bien un magicien de profession, ce n'est pas qu'un hobbie.
