Alan Leeds
Overview
I’m Alan—a magician who believes the real magic isn’t in the tricks, but in the moments we create together. Whether I’m mingling through a crowd or captivating a room from stage, my goal is to spark laughter, curiosity, and those wide-eyed “how did that happen?” expressions that bring people closer.
I customize every performance using psychology, storytelling, and audience involvement so your guests feel seen, engaged, and part of the wonder.
From private parties to events for Google and Amazon, I create experiences people remember long after the night ends. My goal is to make your event seamless, memorable, and filled with moments of shared wonder your guests will talk about for months.

January 29, 2025Great Birthday party
Alan performed at a recent BD party at our house. It was great fun. He showed his tricks to smaller groups and then he gave a performance for the entire party. Everyone was fascinated by his tricks that we could see close-up. Alan was also a great story teller and he had prepared specifically for our party. Highly recommended.

December 30, 2023Highly recommend Alan Leeds
Alan Leeds has a great repertoire of magic tricks and illusions combined with a sense of humor that ranges from deadpan to playful. He came prepared and early to our company holiday party for 100 to entertain our guests as a strolling magician. If you want a top quality performance that will “wow" you, Alan is the man. His magic is brilliant and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone! If you are looking for an entertainer with great skill and a good sense of humor, look no further.

September 18, 2025Awesome entertainment!
I hired Alan for my 50th birthday party and am so glad that I did! He engaged with my guests by doing close-up magic that left us all wondering, how did he do it?? Alan is very charismatic and a good story teller. Plus, he did his homework by learning about our guests in advance to wow them all the more. After going from table-to-table with his tricks, he performed a personalized show in front of the whole party that left us with great memories and some keepsakes. I highly recommend Alan Leeds!

About
Alan Leeds became instantly enthralled with magic after assisting Shari Lewis’ father at a school magic show in New York. He was called up onto stage to have his tie cut...and was able to see the secret. So at the ripe age of 10 he envisioned himself becoming a world famous magician and started performing at birthday parties, featuring the famous cut and restored tie illusion.
Over the years, Alan has performed for a wide range of audiences. From corporate events & trade shows for companies such as Cisco Systems, Hulu & New York Life, to organizations such as A.C.T, San Francisco Symphony, Sunnyvale Magic of Wine festival & Bay Area Dinner shows, to local high school grad nights & private parties, Alan has amazed crowds large and small.
His creative routines involve audience participation, and because his energy and enthusiasm are contagious, you will WANT to be a part of the magic! .
