Arthur Martello has been a member of the Society of American Magicians and the International Brotherhood of Magicians (Order of Merlin) for the past 35 years. Although his interest in magic began when he was around 8 years old, it was not until the mid 70’s that he decided to become more dedicated to the art. By that time, he was already employed as a Speech Pathologist, Teacher, and Administrator working at a school for the deaf and adjunct senior lecturer at 3 different colleges where he taught classes in Anatomy and Physiology, Phonetics, Auditory Training, Acoustics and Lip-reading. When he retired from those positions, he moved full time to his Catskill Mountain log cabin that he built in 1972. In the year 200 he accepted a part time position as Chairperson of the Committee on Special Education for the Margaretville Central School District. Although this position takes up a good deal of his physical and mental time, he maintains an active interest in magic and has performed locally for various groups and organizations.
