1.5 hour

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!
