Early life, education and early career
At age three, Levit moved with his family to Iran for several years. During those years, he experienced culture from all over Europe and the world. At age eight, Levit was bitten by the performing bug. While back in U.S., Levit happened upon some old magic tricks in the basement of his home, which belonged to his father. Levit first set foot on stage to perform his first magic act at age twelve. That same year, Levit appeared on television on The Sally Jessy Raphael Show, along with illusionist David Copperfield as a guest. Levit continued his training as a magician, studying with some of the top minds in the art, honing his sleight-of-hand and performance skills, at the same time receiving numerous awards in close up, stage and street performing competitions. While in college at Syracuse University in New York, Levit produced a variety of sold-out shows – on and off campus – during his academic career, casting many performers who have achieved success in the entertainment fields. Before leaving Syracuse, Levit was sent a note from television sportscaster Bob Costas wrote Levit telling him to "follow your dreams...you can't go wrong". This inspired Levit to move Hollywood.
