Taylor's devotion in magic paid off in 1979, when he became the Texas Association of Magician's Junior Stage Magician of the Year at the competition in San Antonio, Texas.  The next year, Taylor was hired as the finale of the show at the convention, which also featured Lance Burton.

Taylor spent most of his time growing up practicing magic and playing drums in his garage.  Taylor had a young friend who was dreaming of becoming a singer, named Selena Quintanilla, and Taylor gave her sister drumming pointers.  On December 13, 1981, Selena's father hosted a dinner night at his local restaurant, Papa Gayo's.  There, the evening "featuring Bobby Reed's tribute to Elvis, his son Taylor's magic show, and a style show" is noted in Como la Flor by Joe Nick Patoski.   Taylor also had the chance to play drums with Selena when she won the National Talent Competition - StarMania.   Selena moved on and became a successful singer, but her life ended way too soon.  Taylor was one of the lucky ones who had the opportunity to know her.

In addition to performing, Taylor has spent endless hours creating, designing, directing, and building his own custom illusions, such as the World's Largest Hourglass.   Taylor was influenced by Harry Houdini's death-defying water torture cell illusion.  In this illusion, Taylor was covered by sand inside an hourglass and vanished in the nick of time to reappear in the back of the theater.   Taylor used his drumming genius to create and to design the 25-Piece Drum Set Vanish, which transformed into a motorcycle.  These and many other chances to create and to design at 14 years old, allowed Taylor to gain respect from many of magic's superstars such as Siegfried & Roy, David Copperfield, Lance Burton, and First Lady of Magic, Melinda.   The media is no stranger for Taylor either.  Taylor has been in various magic magazines since his debut in Las Vegas at 15 years old about his performances throughout the world.  Taylor has also appeared on various talk shows and performed in commercials for the former Vacation Village China Buffet and China Town, both formerly in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Taylor made himself a world renowned magician by performing 720 shows in over six months at the Lotte World Theme Park in Seoul, Korea.  Performing in Korea taught Taylor discipline and gave him a chance to "polish" his stage presence.  Vegas Lights, a Las Vegas variety show, was another touring experience for Taylor which took Las Vegas to various western United States cities.   Taylor thrilled spectators from Washington and Oregon to Salt Lake City, Utah and Pahrump, Nevada. 

Since 1994, Taylor has been putting his creating and designing ability to use in his own company, DTR Entertainment, where he has created sets and props for some of Las Vegas' most successful productions, such as Las Vegas headliner and AT&T spokesman, Carrot Top.   Taylor also created the entire productions of Beyond Death's Door, a traveling religious experience for the First Baptist Church in Amarillo, Texas.  In addition to building items for American clients, Taylor has also designed and built magic illusions for famous Japanese acts.   Beyond performing and creating, Taylor has been technical director for StarMania - America's Premiere Talent Search, John Stuart's Legends in Concert, Razzmatazz (a Las Vegas Review), and Whiz Kids/Prime Time Kidz television pilot.

Taylor then moved to Las Vegas where he performed magic and created illusions for 15 years. He even made time to perform over 720 sold out shows in South Seoul, Korea. In 1999, Taylor moved back to Texas to perform as the resident magician at the Lake Theater in Lake Jackson while taking his “Think Big” magic act to area schools to increase motivation and big dreams in children. Taylor now calls Branson, Missouri home since 2005, where he has been a headlining comedy magician/illusionist for the past seven years.  In 2012, Taylor will be performing his second year at Music City Centre on the Famous 76 Strip in Branson and his eighth season in Branson.
