Billy Diamond: The Magic Maker, Marketing Maverick, and Overall Awesome Dude (but seriously, call me Billy)
Forget dusty bios and boring introductions, folks! You’ve stumbled upon Billy Diamond, and let me tell you, he ain’t your average entertainer!
Hello, my name is Billy Diamond! Since 1975, I’ve been lighting up stages (and occasionally escaping underwater trunks) across the US. Yes, that’s right, performing full-time before most folks even knew Rubik’s Cubes were cool. Don’t let the mixed in silver hair fool you, I’m still pulling rabbits out of hats (metaphorically speaking, of course).
But hold on, the plot thickens! While dazzling audiences with illusions, a 12-year-old me discovered a different kind of magic: the power of branding. Instead of another rabbit from a hat trick, I bought a book on marketing – probably the coolest 12-year-old purchase ever. Talk about an early bloomer!
Fast forward through some detours (printing presses, anyone?) and societal pressure (a real job? Pfft!), and here I am: living the entertainer-entrepreneur dream. Now, the magic’s back, baby! I’m no longer a full-time road warrior, but my passion for helping others shines brighter than ever.
Why should you trust me with your show business needs? Let’s just say I’ve got the recipe:
40+ years in entertainment: I know this biz like the back of my hand (and maybe a few hidden rabbits).
30+ years in printing & marketing: From film stripping (yes, that was a thing) to digital wizardry, I’ve seen and done it all.
Global reach: Consulted with performers and built custom props for acts in over 72 countries around the globe, adding some real magic to shows like America’s Got Talent, Australia’s Got Talent, Britain’s Got Talent, Master’s of Illusion, and Law & Order.
Custom signage, backdrops, & props? I got you covered. Need a killer show backdrop? NTF technology brand apparel? Levitating teapot? Consider it done.
But enough about me,let’s talk about you! My mission is to empower fellow performers, silence the “real job” naysayers, and make your life easier. Branding and specialty props shouldn’t be a magic trick, and with my help, they won’t be.
So, are you ready to turn your passion into profit? Let’s make some magic happen!
P.S. I’m a proud empty-nester dad of 2 amazing adults and I’m a massive dog-lover, just in case you were wondering about the juggling skills (metaphorically and literally).
P.P.S. Yes, I used to be a printing press stripper. Ask me about it sometime, I promise it’s a clean story (pun intended).
Ready to make your success story more dazzling? Forget struggling solo, I’m here to be your branding genie in a bottle. Let’s turn your hidden potential into show-stopping results!
