He began his performing career as a skilled archer, and traveled as an ace archer throughout Europe and the Far East, 1972-1988. While in Europe he learned to juggle, and shifted his focus to working as a clown magician, which took him to new destinations, from Italy and Japan, to Korea and Saipan.  He worked for many major corporations, from Johnson & Johnson and McDonalds, to Coca-Cola. His love for magic led to his commitment to The Magicians Foundation (MAGFI), formed in 1990, for which he served as its president and chairman.  Through his efforts this club became I.B.M. Ring 322 in 1997.  Nadela is survived by his wife, Rosena De Mesa, three children and four grandchildren.
