TJ Dark is an Amateur Magician, Photgrapher and Conspiracy Theorist. He got role of Alien #2 in Timothy A. Perdue's Directorial Debut after Fooling Producer Bob Hunt with 'The Magic Thumb Trick' at his Audition. As luck would have it, TJ meets and teams up with Amateur Ventriloquist Damon Light who got the role of Alien #1 (played by Ryan Madden). They hope to team up to create the 'Light and Dark Magic and Puppet Extravaganza' show where they would work on the street for spare change.
