Derek Lavertu

What to Expect

I perform sleight of hand magic using mostly everyday objects such
as cards, money, rope, and rubber bands. During one of my shows,
you might see cards change in an audience member’s hand, a drawing
come to life, or an audience member’s signature travel from one place
to another. My performance style is conversational with touches of
humor throughout. I work at a pace that allows the audience to
appreciate what is happening. In other words, I want people to
experience magic rather than confusion or sensory overload. Almost
every piece I perform involves audience participation, so the show
becomes a shared experience rather than being about me alone.

Much of my work is done immediately in front of an audience
without any special music or lighting. Most people have never seen
magic at such close quarters, and their reactions are strong. Laughter,
gasps, and cries of delight are common.

Additional Notes:
Depending on the size and layout of the venue, I can travel from
group to group doing short shows, or I can do one longer show for
everyone.
