Magic By Ryan

The most entertaining, hilarious, surprising, and impossible hour of your life.

Ryan’s show is modeled after the elegant and charming parlor magic shows of the late 19th century. No sawing anyone in half, or pulling rabbits out of hats! Ryan has earned a reputation for his mastery of sleight of hand magic. Everything in his show can be done with ordinary objects, sometimes borrowed from the spectator, and his own two hands. His expert control of manipulation and misdirection always leaves his audience amazed.

Ryan will read your mind, predict the future, perform dangerous and unusual feats, make borrowed objects disappear and reappear in the most mysterious places, impress you with his award winning card magic, and if you’re lucky even make a chicken appear!

Audience participation is frequently used so everyone can get a chance to view the magic up close.

Ryan is a local magician and actor operating around the DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia market. He has 15 years of experience performing magic professionally.
Ryan is a serious student of the magical arts. He learned magic the old school way-seeking out a Master Magician and becoming their apprentice. Learning the craft first hand from a professional in the industry gives him knowledge, experience, and a historical appreciation for the art form which is rare and invaluable. This unique mentorship makes him a better magician.

Using his background and training in Theatre, Ryan has created a new one-man show titled “An Intimate Evening of History and Mystery” which won both 2018 Simanski Awards for Outstanding Original Performance and Rising Star Performer. In 2017, Ryan competed against over 300 other talented performers (including other magicians) and earned 1st Runner Up in the annual Apple Blossoms Got Talent. In 2015, he was nominated and won the Cappie Award for Best Featried Actor held at the prestigious Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

When not onstage, Ryan can be found busking and street performing in Washington D.C on the National Mall as well as Old Town Winchester, Downtown Leesburg, and the Waterfront in Old Town Alexandria.

Ryan is also a member of Denny’s Magic Club at Denny and Lee’s Magic Studio in Baltimore, MD.
