We had Wayne come out as part of a large group event we were hosting. Wayne did an excellent job all night engaging with the guests, and he truly is the real deal! I still don't know how he guessed my card.
Our guests loved him, and it was great when we had downtime or waiting in line for food.
I would definitely use him again!

We got married last night and had Wayne come for cocktail hour for our guests. He was a huge hit!!! Guests were talking about him all night. The videos we saw from friends were so impressive!!! Definitely recommend him for any event you want to add a little extra magic to🪄
Wayne was also at our venue early, so I actually saw him right before I walked down the aisle. It helped calm the anxiety I was feeling because I was so excited to see him, so that was also a big big help during a big big moment. Overall could not recommend him enough!!
Thank you again Wayne!!!

We had the pleasure of hosting magician Wayne Anderson at this year’s Holiday Social, and he was absolutely fantastic. Wayne was warm, engaging, and effortlessly made his way around the room, amazing our guests with close-up magic throughout the night. His finale card-trick performance was the perfect way to wrap up the evening — fun, memorable, and a great boost of energy to end the celebration. Highly recommend!
