His shows involve high audience participation, as he guesses birthdays, iPhone passwords, first crushes, and more. BackgroundToland first began learning magic at age 3 when his mother gave him a book of magic tricks.[1] Growing up, his primary influences were David Copperfield, Harry Houdini, and The Rat Pack.[2] Toland attended University of Southern California from 2005-2006, and transferred to Wichita State University, graduating in 2009 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Music Theater.[2] He is a member of The Magic Castle Junior Program, and International Brotherhood of Magicians. While at USC, Mark performed a card trick in which he accurately guessed the card someone picked from the deck (the 6 of Hearts), and then he revealed said card by showing it on the ceiling of the USC Bookstore overhang which is approximately 30 feet high. The card is still there, albeit weathered, til this day. On November 5, 2015, Toland gave a TEDx Talk at Parker School, where he talked about honest lies.[3] In July 2015, Toland unlocked reporter Ana Belaval's iPhone on WGN-TV.[4] References1. ^{{cite web|last1=KAZMIRCZAK|first1=ANNE|title=Success isn’t an illusion| url=http://old.iolaregister.com/Archives/News/Stories/2008/December/Successisntanillusion.html|accessdate=October 4, 2015}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Toland, Mark}}2. ^1 {{cite web|last1=Dinkel|first1=Dana|title=Performing magic is junior Mark Toland's first love|work = Wichita State News| date = January 5, 2008 | url=http://www.wichita.edu/thisis/stories/story.asp?si=71|accessdate=October 4, 2015}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Theme: The Wonder of Design| work = TEDx Talk Parker School |date=November 15, 2014|url=https://www.ted.com/tedx/events/13442|accessdate=October 5, 2015}} 4. ^{{cite web|last1=Belaval|first1=Ana|title=Watch as Ana’s mind (and her phone) are unlocked| work = WGN-TV| date = July 16, 2015|url=http://wgntv.com/2015/07/16/watch-as-anas-mind-and-her-phone-are-unlocked/|accessdate=October 5, 2015}} 4 : American magicians|Living people|1986 births|People from Iola, Kansas |
