Derek DelGaudio is an American magician, performance artist, and writer. He grew up around con artists and card cheats in rural Colorado, an upbringing that shaped both his career in magic and his approach to storytelling. His one-man show In & Of Itself ran off-Broadway from 2017 to 2018 and was filmed by Frank Oz for a 2021 Hulu special.
His memoir, Amoralman: A True Story and Other Lies, was published in 2021. The book covers his childhood, his introduction to the world of sleight of hand, and his complicated relationship with deception. DelGaudio writes about how growing up among people who made their living through trickery gave him a different perspective on honesty and performance. The book received strong reviews for its unusual structure and its willingness to blur the line between memoir and magic trick.
