Illusions By Vick show menu -

Parlor Magic- Dynamic entertainment in a sophisticated atmosphere. Parlor Magic features amazing magic in an intimate setting. Original illusions, "classics" of magic, feats of mentalism in an interactive presentation filled with audience participation and a good time for all. Parlor magic is great for Adult events such as Adult Birthdays, all age birthdays, holiday events including Halloween and December Holiday Parties, intimate gatherings and events where a unique, entertaining presence is desired. Recommended for audiences of 5 to 250 guests.
For adults a bottle of wine (or similar shaped bottle) can be magically produced and gifted to an audience member.

Mobile Station Performance - Innovative alternative to strolling (or walk around) magic that encourages guests to enjoy magic at their leisure while adding to the elegance, intrigue and festivity of your event. Recommended for large parties where the event is taking place in various areas simultaneously or venues where there will be more than one performance or act performing simultaneously. Please contact Illusions By Vick for details about this unique performance style.

Stage (or Platform) Magic - Similar to Parlor Magic, usually on a stage or raised platform and of a slightly broader performance scope (Can include Houdini's Metamorphosis, Strait Jacket Escape and other large illusions). Stage Magic can be incorporated into many venues and is recommended for large parties, events and banquets.

Mentalism - Entertainment, amazement and enlightenment. Mentalism isn't about "mind reading" as the mind is not a book to be opened and read, instead the mind has varying shades of perception, thoughts, feelings, emotions and many attributes that are not fully understood. Illusions by Vick focuses on the audience, searching for and illuminating their powers and abilities which they may not have been aware they possess! Please contact Illusions by Vick for more information and to schedule your show

Corporate Events - Reward your company with an unforgettable experience. From recognizing top performers in your organization, Holiday events, a one of a kind team building experience or simply a fun time for all .

Illusions By Vick performed at the last 5 Harry Potter Movie Premiers, at various book releases including performing for over 650 attendees as Professor Snape at the Howard County "Muggle Madness" night for the release of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows". Illusions by Vick opened for the Symphony Orchestra of Arlington at their Music of Harry Potter Concert performing theme magic as Professor Snape and many Harry Potter festivals across the US.

Other characters include Edgar Allen Poe, a conjurer circa 1900, The Mad Hatter, Venetian Masquerade character, Captain Hook, Willie Wonka, wizard, pirate and con man.
