Dennis Kim, The Close-Up Artist

Magic is a versatile form of performance art - it can fit any occasion, venue, party size, and schedule, as long as you work with the right person who understands the craft.

Birthday parties, wedding cocktail hours, corporate outings, holiday parties, surprise parties, baby showers - restaurants, bars, home backyards - the list can go on and on! I've performed at all of these settings and occasions; you can be rest assured that magic as an entertainment option at your next event will set it apart from the rest because it is still rare to see.

Most of your guests will likely not have seen magic in-person before - and seeing it through my work for a first time is guaranteed to make a lasting impression of the performative art form.

Dennis is an Award Winning Korean-American magician based in New York. His work is internationally recognized by the Fédération Internationale des Sociétés Magiques, or FISM.

As a performer, he's worked with countless reputable brands, including CNBC, New York Public Radio, Nickelodeon, TLC, and more. He created the precedent for magician residency at the Museum of Illusions franchise.

His performances are all done through private events ranging from weddings, to birthday parties, to non-profit, to corporate events. You may also find him performing as a magician at 'Speakeasy Magick' at the Overlook Bar.

As a creative consultant, he's worked on live theater productions including 'The Magician at the Nomad Hotel,' 'The Magician Online,' and 'The Magician at Fotografiska.'

He's developed on material for television appearances on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon' and 'America's Got Talent.'

​He is open to collaborate for both performance for all types of events, and creative consultation for magicians.

All technical requirements are minimal or non-existent for the events that I typically perform for. There should be almost no hassle on the client-side in providing specific props or equipment!

All minor details can be sorted out specifically per-event and should be no problem at all.

For close-up magic (ie. cocktail hour, gatherings at parties/special occasions), there are no technical requirements on the client side.

For stage magic performances (events with performer lineups; a sitting audience), a wireless lav mic is needed as well as dedicated A/V staff that I may coordinate with to have background music playing.
