September 10, 2022We had AlakaSam do a show for our anniversary party. We planned for the show for the kids but the adults loved it too. AlakaSam was on time, easy to work and schedule with and planned for a great show. Highly recommend hiring AlakaSam for group entertainment.

April 25, 2022Alakasam did a great show for my son's 5th birthday party. He kept all the kids entertained and even the adults were impressed with some of the tricks. He is funny, friendly and very flexible with requests. I highly recommend him.

Sam Chamberlain is AlakaSam the Magician! AlakaSam started studying and practicing magic when he was 10 years old. He was an apprentice magician for five years at Howard’s House of Hocus Pocus in Buffalo, New York. He was the assistant to the shop’s owner Howard Eldridge at magic performances and demonstrated and sold magic tricks to customers at the shop. At Cornell University, Sam completed an epistemological study of magic and developed a magic course curriculum that he has since taught many times. AlakaSam has now been performing comedy magic and twisting balloon sculptures for over 40 years! He incorporates lots of audience participation and it is a very uplifting experience as the volunteers help accomplish the magic. AlakaSam is available to perform wandering magic, twist balloon animals and performs a stage show that includes the Chinese Linking rings, the appearing cane, Sword through Neck as well as card, rope and silk tricks. AlakaSam also works occasionally at the Magic Shop in the Pike Place Market.
