Overview

My performances are always fun, witty, interactive and I guarantee to impress.

I specialize in close-up magic for intimate gatherings, strolling magic for cocktail parties, parlor magic for smaller audiences, and stage performances for larger crowds. Each option can include magic, mentalism or both.

For kids aged 5 to 10, I'm a bumbling wizard at Harry Potter parties or a classic magician for birthdays. Interactive shows always star the birthday child. I also have an intense show for tweens and teens that's guaranteed to blow their minds!

With over three decades of experience performing for thousands of events all over the globe, I'm your magician, ready to travel wherever you are.

Outstanding Entertainment from Start to Finish!

We hired Bill for a corporate event at the Kravis Center, and he was phenomenal! From the start, he interacted with the crowd, drawing an audience that couldn’t get enough of his magic—guests were clapping and fully engaged. Even after his scheduled time, Bill stayed late, moving table to table, continuing to amaze and entertain everyone. His professionalism and dedication made the event unforgettable, and we would highly recommend him for any event!

Thank you for the wonderful review, Danielle! The pleasure was truly mine. Throughout my career, I've collaborated with many planners, but I was particularly impressed with the support you offered from start to finish, especially the detailed instructions on reaching the green room. I would love the opportunity to work with your company again in the future!

Superb addition to our event!

Bill worked with us at a tradeshow to catch attendees' attention with his mentalism and magic. He did an amazing job bringing attention to our booth. Additionally, his knowledge about tradeshows was really helpful to our team as well! I'd recommend Bill as a magician and mentalist to anyone - he was great!

Very Disappointed.

Contrary to our expectations, the murder mystery experience fell short of our desired level of engagement. While we have previously hired murder mystery companies and received satisfactory results, this particular event did not meet our expectations. The host merely presented printed clues to the guests, lacking any personal interaction or dynamic elements. Instead of actively participating in the mystery, guests were confined to their tables, relying solely on written clues to solve the puzzle. In contrast, past experiences have involved interactive elements such as character appearances, props, and varied activities to enhance the overall enjoyment and engagement of the guests. Regrettably, these elements were absent in this particular event. Consequently, we will not be hiring this host for future events. It is important to note that this sentiment was shared by the majority of attendees, with over 70 individuals expressing similar concerns.

Bill Crane was Great!

I hired Bill for an all-girls adult Halloween-themed party, and he was absolutely fantastic! He arrived on time, was professional, and showed us some incredible tricks that left everyone entertained. His mind-reading and mentalism were impressive, and he added such a fun, unique touch to our party. Everyone had a great time trying to figure out how he did it! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for something special and memorable for their event. Thank you for making our party so much fun!

About

I have been performing professionally since I was 12 years old and magic is my passion. I have performed throughout the United States and Europe and I'm available to perform anywhere in the world. I bring true world class magic to your door at reasonable prices.

I do strolling magic, close-up, parlor and stage magic and mentalism for corporate events, social events, and groups. My style is perfect for family groups and my material is never "inappropriate" for any group. I have performed for Governor Jeb Bush, Actress Liv Ullmann, Donald Trump, Baseball great Hank Aaron, Chris Cruz from Y-100 and other celebrities. Now it's time for me to perform for you!

Additional booking notes

I arrive self contained for all but the largest stage shows. Contact me for stage show requirements.
