His current production showcases his signature mix of mystery, humor, and audience connection, offering moments that both surprise and engage.

Described by many as a “Renaissance Man,” Goleman is a lifelong musician, actor, and magician who has performed with arts organizations throughout Northern California and Oregon. Now based on the Mendocino Coast, he continues to tour with The Joy of Astonishment, a show designed to leave audiences wondering how each feat was accomplished.
