About
Alfonso’s love of magic began when he was a boy, watching magicians on television and trying to recreate that same sense of wonder for friends and family. What started as childhood fascination grew into a lifelong passion for sleight of hand, mystery, performance, and the strange little moments that make people believe the impossible might be closer than they think.
In addition to performing, Alfonso is also an artist, builder, and maker. Over the years, he has brought those skills together by creating magic props, theatrical pieces, and artwork for the magic community. As the President of the Society of American Magicians Assembly 52 and someone who has worked and performed at The Magic Saloon, Alfonso brings a blend of classic magic, creative craftsmanship, and polished live entertainment to every event.
Additional booking notes
For most performances, Alfonso can accommodate the needs of the event and venue with minimal technical requirements. Each show is handled on a case-by-case basis, and any specific needs regarding space, sound, lighting, setup time, or venue access will be discussed clearly during the booking process.
In general, clients can expect a smooth, professional setup designed to fit the room and event style. Alfonso brings much of the necessary performance equipment for most shows, and will coordinate in advance to make sure the performance is properly supported and easy for the client to host.
