"Merritt Ambrose is one the the very few, and rare Magicians who can be called both an "Artist" & "Entertainer" . His technical skills are World Class in execution and his performance skills have been honed after many years of International Performances. Merritt is brilliant at creating a "Memorable Performance" for any and all situations.

5 Seasons Magic Dinner

rating starrating starrating starrating starrating star

Dinner DanceMagic Dinner Event!

This was the first of its kind. 5 Seasons North sent out flyers to announce a special evening of magic at the Old Milton facility. Magic act plus a 5 course meal. Each course was paired with an alcoholic beverage that was chosen so that it would bring out the special flavor of the food that it was paired with.

Now for the food. Very, very well presented, very tasty...there were a few drinks I didn't really care for like the "Espresso Milk Stout and Irish Cream" combo....way too Stouty for me. But others loved it, so this is totally a personal preference. Course 3, consisted of a "Rabbit in a Hat", which was a beer braised rabbit in puff pastry. Lovely dish, meat was tender and shredded. Side dish was "magical mushroom marshmallow"..which I have yet to figure out if it was a marshmallow with mushroom flavoring or a mushroom with marshmallow flavoring! The servers kept the dishes moving and kept the dirty dishes cleared away quickly and efficiently. I think they were definitely there to make this evening a success, so give them a definite thumbs up.

Okay, drinks and food were finally arriving, socializing was commencing, all is well. Magician introduces himself and begins doing tricks...rope trick, card tricks, mind reading, shell game. He is a hit! Very personable, quick of hand and is working the crowd.

Birthday PartyLarge gathering of friends and family, as well as small children ranging from 3 to 15. Merritt did a fantastic job of entertaining and interacting with the younger group at first, including letting some of the kids even try to duplicate his ring & rope tricks. After he did a few tricks for a group of about 25 kids and adults, he walked around doing some amazing tricks for smaller groups of 3-5 people and blew us away! Very professional, but also very personable and down to earth. I've never been to a party that had a casual performer just mingling through the crowd, but he did an AMAZING job entertaining everyone there. Great guy, and fantastic magic and slight-of-hand. -Brad P. Carrollton, Georgia

The Award Winning Magic of Merritt Ambrose’s Close Up Magic is a great way to enhance your next important corporate/private party or restaurant. He performs close-up illusions that no one else in Atlanta does. Because his style of entertainment is performed at such close quarters, Merritt is able to move freely amongst your guests to add amazement and amusement to a drinks reception/cocktail lounge as well as entertaining at tables during/after dinner. His amazing sleight of hand and entertaining style of delivery will be remembered by your guests for a long time to come.

It is appropriate for private parties, receptions, hospitality suites, and other events in which people congregate in small groups.

The parlour show retains the intimate feel of close-up magic but is instead performed in a private room with the audience seated around Merritt’s custom-built table. This VIP atmosphere makes it ideal as a treat for special guests, important clients or exceptional staff members.

Your guests get a front row seat to see the incredible intimate illusions. Merritt’s parlour show best suits audiences of less than 50 people.

Merritt's walk-around magic is especially astonishing, because the magic's happening live, not on television. It happens right before his audience's eyes, within arm's reach, and often, right in their own hands. People laugh in amazement. And they gasp as their concept of the universe is momentarily shattered. Merritt’s walk-around show best suits audiences up to 300 people... weddings, receptions, conventions, restaurants, cocktail lounges, ect.

And after Merritt leaves, they often remember their extraordinary encounter with him--often only five to ten minutes--for the rest of their lives.

Merritt builds his close-up illusions himself... there is no one else that can perform his acts!!!

A Quote from Matthew Wright

" Merritt Ambrose is a true conessuer of modern magic. His attention to detail is second to none and a sign of a real professional but that counts for nothing if you can't deliver the goods. Merritt delivers every time."
