What ‘Tiger King’ Didn’t Tell You: The Untold Story of Joe Exotic.

Joe Exotic Ripped Off His Magician Act

Around 2002, Joe Exotic was working with a man known by the name Johnny Magic. The two had teamed up to develop a stage magic show that featured Joe’s animals. Unfortunately, the relationship soured and the two would end their agreement. For Joe’s part, the future Mr. Exotic would steal Johnny’s entire magic act to establish Mystical Magic of the Endangered. This was also when Joe took on his new name, Joe Exotic.

Believe it or not, a magic show with wild animals wasn’t the craziest thing Joe ever did.
