About Dr. Yee:
Willie
Yee, M.D. came to magic late in life, age 72, several years after he
had retired from a career as a psychiatrist. He was involved in a
Star Trek fan film project where he met Terry Morgan, a student of
Walter Gibson. Terry took him under his wing, and soon declared that
Dr. Yee was the fastest learning student he ever had. Dr. Yee soon
themed his magic to Star Trek and science fiction and developed the
character of S’kai, Vulcan’s Greatest Magician.
From the
beginning however, his major motivation was to learn magic that he
could use in his work as a Red Cross volunteer. He thought that magic
would be a way to introduce himself to disaster survivors. “I soon
found that magic was not an introduction to mental health
interventions, but in fact WAS the intervention. Giving shelter
residents a magical memory not only lifts them out of a miserable
situation, but generates a memory that can compete with the trauma of
a disaster,” says Dr. Yee. He has since developed a program to
teach Red Cross shelter volunteers magic so they can interact and
perform with shelter residents.
After several years of
working with Terry Morgan, Terry said that it was time to move to the
next level and encouraged him to take a Master Class at the McBride
Magic and Mystery School. “It was a life-changing experience.
It changed not only how I did magic, but the place that magic had in
my life.”
In 2020, he was able to adapt his shows to
Internet performance with the help of courses and another Master
Class at the Mystery School. As a result he was able to do more
performances in the course of that year than he would have, had he
only been doing in-person shows.
