November 5, 2026Our private school invited Ryan to be a part of our biggest fundraiser of the year. Our event was a dinner, live auction, silent auction gala to raise money for our private school. The theme was speakeasy and Ryan arrived early, dressed to impress, ready to jump in or help with anything. He even asked if I wanted him to target any specific groups of people if I thought it would be beneficial for the goal of the evening. Ryan’s, close-up magic and personal interactions are unmatched by any other close-up magician that I have ever seen. I have seen them perform at the Magic Castle in Hollywood and will definitely bring professionalism as well as humor to your next event. He is truly amazing and I had a number of our guests ask for his contact information to have them at their corporate events in the next few weeks. Every time I looked over, he had multiple people around him right next to him, gathered, laughing and invested in the magic.

My style of magic is influenced by performers who understand that great magic is about more than just the trick—it’s about the experience.
I’m inspired by the close-up and interactive style of magicians such as Johnny Ace Palmer and John George, along with the timeless influence of classic card and sleight-of-hand performers.
What I take from these performers is the ability to create wonder, surprise, humor, and genuine interaction with an audience.
My goal is to bring that same sense of amazement into a more personal setting—one guest, one group, and one impossible moment at a time.
