He and his family belonged to the Jehovahs Witnesses and his father was a priest, so he learned these arts in secret from his parents, In his early adult years, he decided to perform professionally despite of his family's disapproval. His family cut all ties and him and, in 2008, he was accused of practicing magic and disfellowshipped (excommunicated) from the Jehovah's Witnesses Association worldwide, despite his efforts to prove that his performances were nothing but innocent sleight of hand and psychological trickery. With the through the years, Nefesch has performed in more than 20 countries and shared some of his unique ideas and developed techniques in the arts of mentalism, with some of the top mentalists and psychic performers such as Richard Osterlind, Banachek and Keith Barry.
