Philemon Vanderbeck

Philemon Vanderbeck was reincarnated on 30 August 1965 at 12:25 A.M. in Greenock, Scotland. Obsessed with mathematics since he was a child, Philemon believes that proper understanding of the underlying principles of the Universe allows him to penetrate the veil of the future and garner insight into the mysteries of space, time, energy, mind and spirit.

He was also awarded "Best Stage Act" at the 2005 Pacific Coast Association of Magicians Convention held on Norwegian Cruise Lines' "Norwegian Star."
