Zak Mirz is a first-generation American magician who was born to parents from Iran and Afghanistan.

Unfortunately, his father was murdered when Zak was just one year old. Zak discovered magic tricks at a young age, which became an unexpected form of therapy and comfort, practising providing a unique form of escapism and solace.
