June 1, 2025We had the absolute pleasure of hiring IE the Magician for our yearly Greek Festival, and I can confidently say it was one of the best decisions we made!
From the moment the show began, he had the crowd completely captivated. The magic tricks were not only jaw-dropping but also brilliantly paced and filled with humor and audience interaction. Children and adults alike were wide-eyed with wonder, gasping, laughing, and trying to guess how the illusions were done
But it didn’t stop there- IE the Magician is also a phenomenal balloon twister. We're not talking about just basic balloon animals. We're talking intricate, colorful creations—everything from swords and backpacks to wearable balloon hats/ crows and animals. The kids were beyond thrilled and proudly showed off their balloon masterpieces for the rest of the day.
What truly stood out was his warm, engaging personality. He made every child feel special and remembered names, cracked jokes, and kept the energy high from start to finish. Professional, punctual, and full of positive energy, Ethan brought a real spark of joy to our celebration.
If you're looking for entertainment that’s magical, memorable, and fun for all ages, look no further. I’d give 10 stars if I could! Highly, highly recommended.

February 24, 2025We were very impressed with IE. He worked hard making tons of Pokémon balloons for the kids and the show was great too! I was nervous to hire someone from online, but he calmed my nerves the day before. And then delivered.

I have been performing as a hobby since middle school, and professionally since 2009. Magic has inspired me to do my best to change the way people see their lives, and as a result I strive to create a lasting impression that helps my audience smile well after I have finished my performance. My stage show centers on education and environmental awareness, my "mingling magic" centers on the interaction between performer and audience, and my comedy is family friendly.
I have performed at festivals and events across the country, on television and am currently shooting footage for a youtube series on street performing. Doing magic has allowed me to travel and perform in over 40 different states, which has always been my dream in life. I believe in connecting with my audience and passing on my love for magic through my performance.
STAGE SHOWS:
Hands-free microphone/amplified sound setup needed for any crowd of 50+ guests.
Lighting must allow for clear visibility on performer, volunteers, and props.

STILT-WALKING:
Important to have private space near performance area to get ready and store props/clothing/equipment.
Please let me know ahead of time if performance area is anything other than standard; flat grass/turf or low pile carpet.
Please inform ahead of time if there are any height restricting ceilings or objects around performance area. Clear walkway from set-up space to performance space is important.
