Book Magic of Marco!

Awesome experience, Marco was very professional and fun! My friends and I were blown away by his close up magic show. Would definitely recommend! Wasn’t sure what to expect when booking but he showed us all different types of tricks/ magic that left us stumped. He’s the real deal! Thanks for the laughs and memories Marco!

Absolutely amazing

Marco is the very first magician I have hired . When you have never done this and wondering will it be worth it ? Will this be something you will talk about to others ? Well Marco set that for everything . His communication prior to the event was great . He was kind ,funny and just down to earth . I can go on and on but the event itself was amazing . I can say I was honestly locked in for every one of his tricks and being honest i cannot explain how any of it happened. It was a truly incredible performance. Definitely a night I will remember and I would recommend him to anyone .

Amazing. How did he do it!

Magic Marco was amazing in many ways. He called in advance to the restaurant to make sure about his setup. Then he shows up earlier on the day of the event to make sure everything was perfect to prepare for my son's event. He was very kind and patient. While performing you can here the sounds of my family and friends leaving them Wowed and wondering how this was possible. He would also tell stories about some of his magical acts. He also did a special surprise act and left my son, the Honoree, with something to remember his special event with a keepsake. I loved that also when people asked for his card he still performed a trick. He also made sure that most were included in the event. In the end my family and friends still kept talking about it and for those he called up thought they could trick him but the end result was still the same. WOW! If you hire him you won't be disappointed.

It took some "warming up" for my guests to enjoy Marco's work but then everyone was thoroughly impressed. All enjoyed his work.

About

I'm a Close-up Magical Entertainer. I stroll events performing Las Vegas style sleight of hand classic close-up magic as well as performing a stand-up parlor/cabaret style shows. My performances are all interactive with a comedic edge. I'm looking for any bookings for corporate, private, children of all ages, family, or adult events.
For the past 20 years I have been strolling cocktail hours at various events, performing stand-up parlor shows, trade shows, hospitality suites, strolling large outdoor festivals performing "STREET MAGIC," private parties, holiday parties, Communions, Christenings, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs and all age birthday parties. I have done it all. I have appeared on Good Morning America. I'm also an authorized street entertainer at the South Street Seaport in New York City. I design and perform promotional magic at trade show booths for companies using their name, products, logos etc. I can create attention and draw attendee's to any booth using my creative magical skills. Trade shows have brought me to places such as Las Vegas, Indianapolis, Atlanta, Orlando, Tampa, New Orleans, Chicago, Atlantic City, and New York City. I perform at over 200 events per year all around the country. Strolling cocktail hours for any catered event (private or corporate) and table hopping is one of the most popular magical services that I perform. I'm a self contained strolling magical entertainer. My close-up magic appeals to all ages, from the sophisticated adult to a children's party. I'm also a balloon sculptor of small animals, hats, etc. I'm located 45 minutes from NYC, 2 1/2 hours from Atlantic City, and 2 hours from Philadelphia. I'm available to travel anywhere in the USA or Canada.

Testimonials

"Our trade show was a success due in part to the wonderful, talented Marco. He is truly a consummate professional. He spent 4 hours of non-stop magic and sleight of hand entertaining over 700 guests. For those looking for a wonderful talent you won't be sorry if you hire The Close-up Magic of Marco."

– -Kaye F, 6/10/2007, Corporate Function, Somerset, NJ

"With Magic of Marco we were able to increase our client leads at our industry TRADE SHOW by 150%. Marco was excellent at getting people to stop at our booth and have their badges scanned for future follow-up. If you are looking for something to "be different" and not just give away logo pens, I recommend Marco to work your next trade show. The trade publication that covered the show had six pictures in the article and our booth, with Marco, had two of the six you can't buy better press. By the way, this trade show had 18,000 attendees. I would be happy to offer a reference for future booking."

– -Brad F, 6/13/2007, Convention, New York, NY

"From the first time I spoke to Marco on the phone, I knew he was the magician of choice. He was professional and confident. The day of the show, he was prompt, polite, professional, and friendly to our guests. This was a corporate event and Marco did two hours of strolling magic for 190 adult guests. He even stayed late to make sure everyone was entertained. His magic was top-notch and I received nothing but positive feedback from all our guests. I would highly recommend Marco and would gladly hire him again."

– -Pam F, 1/26/2008, Corporate Function, Atlantic City, NJ

"Marco was awesome.. He performed to a large crowd (75- 100)children and adults. Everyone enjoyed the show. He was professional entertaining and funny. I would highly recommend him. Thank You Marco for making our Mardi Gras a success."

– -Joan T, 2/5/2008, Church Service, Three Bridges, NJ

"WOW! is the best way to describe Marco's act. Marco circulated around the room entertaining and amazing all 70 of our guest. We highly recommend The Close Up Magic of Marco-you and your guest will be truly entertained."

– -Dave B, 2/16/2008, Birthday Party, Langhorne, PA

"The Magic of Marco is AMAZING! Marco was a hit at our Blue and Gold dinner. Before the show, the kids were eager with anticipation. When a few kids got too excited, Marco has a great ability to keep the group under control with fun-lovin' care. Even grownups were dragging their chairs for a closer look of the performance. Thanks Marco!"

– -Ivette C, 2/29/2008, Awards Night, Bloomfield, NJ

"Marco is incredible, not only in terms of his magic, but in his professionalism as well. He phoned me literally within minutes of my Gigmasters query to discuss our plans. We had 40 adults at a 60th birthday party, and Marco enthralled everyone. He arrived exactly on time, strolled the room performing for groups of friends, anywhere from two to eight at a time, and was truly captivating. He concluded by doing one amazing trick at the end that blew us all away. (This was after giving us more than our contracted time.) Hire this man, you won't be sorry."

– -Mike K, 7/26/2008, Birthday Party, Newark, NJ

"A true professional. Not only was his magic quite impressive, he was very responsive and proactive with plans and preparation leading up to the event. A true professional. Marco showed up early and gave us a 110%. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how much they liked him and how good he is. We highly recommend The Magic of Marco."

– -Anthony L, 8/24/2008, Community Event, Rockaway, NJ

"Marco was terrific! - Everything that we had hoped for and discussed. I would HIGHLY recommend him. We took a risk and hired him based off the feedback on your site and I would tell anyone considering him to go ahead w/out hesitation. He called us immediately and honestly described what he could/would do and what he wouldn't. He was extremely professional from that call on. He followed up after we hired him to see if there were any changes and worked very professionally w/ our event coordinator who told us he was fantastic and that she would hire him in the future - Others who were there told us that they would be hiring him!! - He was great!"

Magic of Marco was hired for a corporate/employee holiday gathering. From the beginning he demonstrated professionalism in following up on the details associated with the gig. He arrived early to set up and was prompt in starting his show. We were extremely pleased with his show, as well as his ability to engage & interact with the audience. His show definitely started our party off on the right foot! I would highly recommend Magic of Marco for your next party.

– Jennifer C.

Marco was ideal for our son's First Holy Communion Party! He was extremely entertaining. Marco performed a high quality magic show that not only mezmorized the children, he truly amazed and impressed the adults as well. Having Marco there made our event extra special. We all had a great time. We definitely recommend the Close-up Magic of Marco for any event.

– The Kapinos family

Marco was the best magician I have ever met. We all enjoyed his performance.

– Colleen & Danny Carrero ---Bride and Groom

Marco is truly a master. Our guests were in awe of his sleight of hand and up close magic. I could not have made a better choice. Marco is a gentleman and a true professional. We will be seeing him again at future corporate functions. Above and beyond our expectations. Thanks again!

– Joe Santora--Crestwood Technology Group--President

Marco was great for our event. We had a convention for 200+ executives for a fortune 500 company. Marco was very entertaining during cocktail hour and on stage for our attendee's. Marco also worked very close with our clients collaborating on his performance and coming up with ideas prior to event for our client. A talented entertainer and a great guy to work with who is very professional.
