Even his love story with his wife, Jenny is a magical one as they met in a play where she portrayed Cinderella and he played the prince. He lived in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and the couple have three children. Although it was quite a challenge to balance a career on road while raising a family of three, he continued to pursue his dream of seeing his name in the lights of Las Vegas.
Alexander, along with his wife, became famous on season 6 of America’s Got Talent where he impressed the judges with his illusions and tricks. It all started with his audition which consisted of making a woman appear out of nowhere, be supported by water, then levitate. Judges Piers Morgan, Sharon Osbourne, and Howie Mandel at the time, all voted in favor of sending him forward to the Vegas round. However, he fell short of reaching the finals as he was eliminated in the Quarterfinals.
