What can you expect? Amazing, funny magic the will impress even the most sophisticated guest. From intimate parties to big stages, I've got the magic you need to make your next event incredible.

I perform both Close-Up Strolling Magic as well as a Stand-Up Comedy Magic Show. Here's what to expect:

Close-Up / Walk Around / Strolling
Whether it’s table-to-table or strolling through the crowd, I’ll mingle with all your guests, performing unique and never-before-seen close-up magic and mentalism. The magic happens right before their eyes - and even in their own hands.
My magic creates moments of astonishment. Laughter and applause. Oohs and ahhs.
It gets people talking, and facilitates introductions. Exactly what you want for a successful networking event.

Stand-Up Comedy Magic
My stand-up act is perfect for corporate audiences (like employee training, awards dinners, client events) It’s a fast and funny combination of mind-boggling illusion and hilarious audience participation. The show can run from a 15 minutes up to a full hour. It features mind-reading magic and illusions mixed with improv & stand-up comedy.

Your guests become the stars of the show. I invite audience members to become part of the show as they come on stage to amaze the crowd. If you wish, your VIP or guests of honor can steal the spotlight and even get a standing ovation when they pull off a minor miracle, guaranteed to bring the house down.

The magic I do is perfect for professionals - it's smart and sophisticated and perfected over decades. I've baffled engineers at Google, scientists at Columbia and NYU, lawyers at Harvard and Princeton and pretty much bamboozled every kind of smarty-panted know-it-all all across the US and Europe.

And not to worry, all of the material I will present is suitable for a professional work setting. No offensive language, nothing that might embarrass any guests. Just fun, amazing magic!

As a full-time professional magician, you can count on me to deliver as promised - plus I'm fully insured in case the venue requires it. Need professional references? I'm happy to oblige.

These tricks are not for kids. I regularly entertain at events for adults only. I use sleight of hand to create close-up magical mysteries that will amaze and amuse the most sophisticated audience.

Walk-around close-up magic is the perfect way to set the mood for your event.

Whether it’s table-to-table or strolling through the crowd, I’ll mingle with all your guests, performing unique and never-before-seen close-up magic and mentalism. The magic happens right before their eyes – and even in their own hands.

Perfect for breaking the ice, getting people talking, and facilitating introductions, close-up magic adds fun and surprises to any event.

I’ll make sure your guests start having fun right away as I work the crowd, “strolling” from one group of party guests to another.

Your party guests are entertained with up-close and personal magic, a few people at a time, while they are seated or standing. I usually perform during the cocktail hour or before or after the main course.

My job is making people happy. I use magic to create wonderful moments of astonishment. My show is a fun and funny combination of slick sleight of hand, illusions and mental mysteries.

Guaranteed to amuse, confuse, deceive and delight even the most skeptical of audiences.

I’ve dedicated decades to perfecting my original illusions. My signature effects baffle, bewilder and bamboozle the brightest brainiacs – and even mystify master magicians. But magic is more than tricks. It’s deeper than deception.

I'm an entertainer and my mission is to give your guests a great time and leave them with even greater memories. When they witness my “miracles right before their very eyes,” your guests will be laughing, applauding and possibly squeaking with glee.

I'm a full time professional sleight of hand artist. Born and raised in New York, I travel around the world amazing audiences of every kind. I'm the proud pappy of four incredible kids and when I'm home my wife and I love taking in and caring for foster dogs.

I bring all of my own equipment and supplies.

Closeup / Strolling Magic: Book me to entertain before or after the main meal. Keep background music low for the best audience experience. Magic is a visual art, so make sure there is enough light.

Stand-up Show: To make sure the show is fully enjoyed, try to eliminate distractions. No background music or noise please.
I do not perform during food service. Book the show to start before or after your guests have enjoyed their meals.
