S. Sëan Tretheway was born in Inglewood, California. When he was seven, he caught the magic bug and performed as Sëando the Magician, charging fifty cents a show.
At the age of twenty he helped build a boat with his sister and brother-in-law, Roxanne and Jeannot, in their backyard, which they then sailed from Los Angeles to Tahiti.
After six months island hopping in the South Pacific, Sëan moved on to New Zealand, where he spent another six months hitch-hiking the North Island.
In 1977, Sëan came to Australia to continue his adventure.
In 1983, he found Noosa and realized that his childhood hobby as magician could earn him a fulltime living. Sëan has been entertaining residents and visitors to Noosa for twenty-five years. During this time he entertained thousands of visitors from all over the world. He has also been flown all over Australia for corporate functions and television spots, as well as a six week stint in Japan.
For seven years, Sëan produced and presented a radio program for Noosa Community Radio which focused on the local music scene.
Sëan has two sons, Alex and James who are hip-hop musicians.
In 2005, Sëan decided to pursue another dream and write a book, which he completed in thirty days by following a unique system devised by Chris Baty (www.nanowrimo.com).
Sëan spent the next three years rewriting and editing the book, shaping and creating the final version of The Roadless Traveller, which was released in early February, 2008.
For the next three years, Sëan travelled, performed magic and had many adventures all the while completing Beyond The Road - the stand alone sequel to The Roadless Traveller.
Sëan has gotten rid of most of his 'stuff', moved into his van (named 'Beyond'), and has become the Roadless Traveller - adventuring around the country, performing magic (www.magicbysean.com), and promoting his book wherever he goes!
