Dynamic Ernie

Behind me I have a large unfolding Circus backdrop. I have a portable table and store my various props in the table on shelves. As I perform the show, I pull out several props at a time. The space needed for me to setup will be about 8 feet square. During my performance, I walk around the audience and interact with the children.

The clowning props, magic tricks, juggling props, musical instruments, puppets, balloons, and party games are all safe for children.

To assist with managing kids' needs, I request at least 2 adults be present during the show (or more if available). Please understand that I am an entertainer, but not a babysitter. (Other parents in the past have left me alone with large groups of children who were hard to manage.) I'm asking if adults can be nearby to help supervise the children.

Lots of activities and party games require audience participation and volunteer assistants.

Ernest is a native of Santa Cruz, Ca. He first studied magic at six years old, showing various tricks to his family and friends. He soon began designing and constructing his own effects and props and performed complete shows while known as The Great Whodunit.

In high school, he won a talent show as a Mime. In college, he studied Theatre Arts and showmanship, including: acting, improv, choir, dance, makeup, lighting, audio.

In 2001, he started a professional magic career entertaining children of all ages as Andar The Sorcerer. Andar performed hundreds of shows throughout the Bay Area and Central California.

In January 2014, he produced, directed, and starred in his own family friendly 2-hour stage magic show titled, An Evening of Magic and Illusion.
Ernest was Vice President of The Coastal Magicians Club of Santa Cruz County.
In 2015 and 2024 he auditioned for America's Got Talent.

Ernest expanded his act from not only being a magician, but now including many different types of performing arts. Today, Dynamic Ernie performs shows regularly for your parties and events.

Where do you want to set up the show? (living room, garage, backyard, patio, park, school, camp, etc.) I just need to be placed near a wall or stage area where nobody can walk behind me during the show.

All of the activities are choreographed to music. I have a wireless microphone headset and portable music system, so I would just need a power outlet to plug into, or close enough to use extension cords. If there is no power, I can project my voice loud enough for many people to hear.

I will need 30 min. to set up the table, props and tricks before the actual performance, so I will need to arrive early. I would like to get set up before the guests arrive to have my act ready before they get there. After I am all set up, we could start the show at any time you wish. I will also need 30 min. time after the show for breakdown and cleanup.
