He was married from 1947 to 1964 to Gloria Jacobson. In 1970 he reclaimed Antonio C. Andruzzi as an alternative legal name. He started performing in a style known as bizarre magic and became a preeminent founder and contributor to the movement. He also performed under the aliases Tony Andruzzi, Masklyn ye Mage, and Daemon Ecks.
Andruzzi made numerous notable contributions to the art of bizarre magic, ranging from major contributions to the philosophy of the artform and numerous magical effects to helping develop and maintain the community of artists. From 1981 to 1991 he was editor of the bizarre magic magazine New Invocation, one of the cornerstone publications in solidifying the movement. As a bizarrist, he published four books which are highly valued for their content, scarcity and handmade artistry: Daemon's Diary, The Necromicon of Maskelyn Ye Mage, The Legendary Scroll of Maskelyn Ye Mage (an actual handmade scroll), and Grimoire of the Mages. With Brian Flora, he produced an instructional magic video on bizarre magic called Bizarre which documents many of his notable creations as a bizarrist. In addition, he appeared in an interview with Eugene Burger on his instructional magic video Eugene Goes Bizarre. Andruzzi's contributions to the art of bizarre magic have made him a revered name in the community of bizarre magicians.
