History
Mystic Circuitry: A Journey Through Magic, Circus, and Innovation
It all began long before electronics and code...
...when magic and the circus lit the spark in my heart. Even as a young dreamer, I was captivated by the spectacle of stage productions, the interplay of light and illusion, science and art, and the raw energy of the big top. I immersed myself in that world, learning every part of show production and falling in love with the mystery that performance art can evoke.
After honing my skills in school and working on various gigs, I reached a point where I could choose my own path. I began working exclusively on circus and magic shows, lending my expertise to some of the most iconic acts in the industry—Cirque du Soleil, Rammstein, Criss Angel, Cirque Italia, Spiegelworld, and more. Back then, I was known as drewStar—a name bestowed upon me by a circus owner who recognized my knack for transforming stage lighting and production into pure magic.
Fifteen years+ of life on tour, from dazzling Vegas shows to international spectacles, eventually took their toll. The relentless pace and ever-changing schedules made it difficult to fully express the artistry that I believed in. Craving a quieter, more deliberate creative process, I made the decision to step away from the entertainment lifestyle. I yearned for a space where I could blend my passions for woodworking, LED artistry, and intricate puzzles—a space where I could explore new forms of storytelling.
Thus, Mystic Circuitry was born. No longer confined solely to the pro entertainment world of drewStar, Mystic Circuitry became an umbrella for all my creative endeavors. Inspired by a fusion of influences—from the enigmatic allure of alien and ancient tech to the precise beauty of sacred geometry and the playful spirit of raccoons—I set out to create a line of products that are as thought-provoking as they are beautiful. Whether it's an LED soldering kit, a handcrafted puzzle box, or a unique prop, each piece is designed to spark the imagination and tell its own story.
Along the way, I’ve drawn inspiration from visionary pioneers like Franco Dragon, Adam Savage, Limor Fried, and Chris Ramsey, whose work has taught me that every light, every circuit, and every design has a narrative of its own.
Today, Mystic Circuitry is not only a testament to the thrilling days under the big top but also a gateway to new adventures in art, technology, and education. From custom stage props to collectible puzzles and interactive electronics kits, my creations are an invitation to rediscover the magic of creativity.
Join me on this journey—as I continue to explore the intersections of art and innovation, and as Mystic Circuitry evolves into a hub for high-end custom creations, educational tools, and imaginative collectibles.
The adventure is just beginning, and every new piece is a step deeper into the mystery...
