Magician Kourosh Taie

I'd had a fever dream vision of my birthday dinner party including a professional entertainer who could make us all laugh AND dazzle us with acts of illusion. There were a lot of profiles for "comedy magician" in DC, but Kourosh's GigSalad profile, website, and personalized response to my event listing stood out. He was consistently proactive about contacting me, checking in event logistics, and the fact he phoned me in the first place to establish if he was right personality for my event and friends established a lot of confidence with me.

He kept me updated on logistics and timing on the day of the party, as we has coming from another show, and he was able to accommodate that our party schedule was a bit flexible, and some of our guests late (he had a hilarious idea for a joke for when the late guests walked in during his show).

The show itself had my guests and I screaming laughing, and a couple of my friends genuinely perturbed at the powers of this "warlock" - some dazzling sleights of hand (which I won't spoil). Kourosh is clearly at ease with a big group of party goers, he gets to know them, and makes them feel included (e.g. he got me, the birthday girl, up a couple of times, as well as each of my friends to participate).

Some of my friends were initially a little puzzled at my insistence on a COMEDY MAGICIAN but they were blown away and messaging me the morning after, "That was the best party I ever went to and that magician was AMAZING."

Thanks Kourosh for helping to make my birthday so hilarious and memorable.

Simply put, Kourosh was amazing! Before booking him for a virtual event (a work team meeting), I knew nothing about him and didn't even watch the video on his website. So I literally had no idea what to expect. But he ended up being so fantastic. He was engaging, funny, likeable, entertaining and most importantly, had mind-blowing tricks. In addition, he had a great Zoom setup that allowed you to see his magic up close. If you are considering hiring him, do it! He will not disappoint.

WOW! Magician "K" was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G in every way. We hired him to perform at our house for a small Halloween party. I usually go all out with my Halloween parties, and really wanted to one-up myself this year since it was going to be more "low-key". I am so happy that I found Magician K for my event. He was super friendly and professional on our first call to discuss the event, and far exceeded our expectations at the event. He came early (with his custom mask on the whole time) and stayed late! He worked the party and performed numerous tricks in front of different groups of people, inside and outside by the firepit. He is unbelievably TALENTED. I honestly did not know how "believable" it would be - it was INSANE. We were all in awe, and pretty much freaking out. I must have heard "WOW" and "HOW DID HE DO THAT?!" 2000 times. We were all so happy and people are STILL talking about Magician K. I can't wait to hire him again and see more of his tricks! Thank you so much for everything, K! :)

Kourosh is a must for your next event! I've had the pleasure of watching him perform several times now and he never ceases to amaze me! He makes sure to get everyone involved, has a great sense of humor and unique performance style that will always leave you wanting more and completely blown away! His tricks are original and his execution is flawless. Including him at your event will surely be a night to remember!

He was the life of the party- there are no words to describe how amazing K is! Everyone is still talking about him.

We first experienced Kourosh at a wedding. We were blown away by his amazing up-close magic - performed right under your nose. Professional. Totally cool. He is also extremely charming. We hired him on the spot (no joke) to work at an event in our home - about 70 guests aged 7 to 70. Kourosh had a crowd around him the entire time. People couldn't get enough. Guests emailed and called in the days that followed to say how stupendous Kourosh was. Some people are still sending me hypotheses about how he did the magic and it is a month later...he is awesome.

Our guests did not know we would be having a strolling magician at our party. They were very entertained and everyone thought Kourosh was fantastic!!

He was funny, engaging and had us all guessing and saying “how did he do that?”. I highly recommend him for any event. Great job!!!

Kourosh was so much fun! Kourosh was hired for a birthday party that my company planned for my client. The guest age range was from 25-70, and Kourosh was able to entertain everyone from young and old. He also did some magic that involved my client and her family which entertained all the guest. The guest really enjoyed the intimate magic that he performed throughout the crowd. My client was very pleased with the whole experience.

Kourosh is the best magician I've seen hands down! He's super entertaining and will blow your mind with many of his magic tricks. He's got this this magic thing nailed down. Its just unbelievable that he's not more well known. I can guarantee for whatever event you book him your guests will be thoroughly entertained all while trying to involve everyone in the audience. Everyone will be talking about the magician long after the event has ended. Do yourself a favor and book him - you wont be sorry. He's the next David Blaine.

Seriously book Kourosh for your next event. We had him perform at our rehearsal dinner and he was the hit of the event, that is after my wife and I. If you want just an okay party or event than do not book Kourosh, but if you want an awesome event that your guests will be talking about well after dust has settled than have K walk around doing interactive magic. He had our guests at the edge of their seats the entire time and his presence is casual he just interacted with our guests and worked off the energy of the room. Seeing magic on tv or on stage is one thing, but being part of the trick is just a whole new level of cool.

This is my warning to adults and children, his magic is addictive, if you take part in his magic than you'll want to go back time and time again. I highly recommend Kourosh "The Magic Man" for your next event, he is more than worth it.

Kourosh not only performs brilliant, original magic; but his presentation and attitude are stellar! He is extremely personable and suave. Kourosh became the life of my event at a cost much less than I imagined, especially for the quality of his service. Definitely hire him if you are looking to entertain a crowd with something unique. I would hire him again without thinking twice!

Kourosh delivers in all ways in which you would hope a magician would. He involves the audience in times which are appropriate, never leaving us bored, entertaining us between acts and always acting respectively according to what his audience wants. I've been honored to have his services at my party, leaving my guests surprised and excited at the end. His performance is classical and at the same time extraordinary, making you go back after your second guess to try to figure out his tricks (I've given up though, I wouldn't try). He makes it obvious he cares about going beyond satisfying his audience by updating his performances and delivering new shows to amaze. Not gonna lie, it helps that he's pretty good looking to add on to his talent but his skills are enough to make you want to hire him for all different kinds of events. Thanks K, for sharing your skills and humor with us.

I have watched Kourosh Taie perform magic for over three years now, and he still keeps creating new effects that astound me! His presentation is fantastic and often hilarious, and his mixture of mentalism and sleight of hand are unparalleled. I frequently invite him out to family functions and first dates... Knowing he'll make any situation entertaining and delightful. Just give him a chance to show you what he can do, or simply watch the reactions of his spectators like I love doing, and you'll know he's the real deal. Thank you so much Kourosh!
