Magician Sean Whittaker
Overview
🎩 Close-up & parlor magic for adults | 🎈 Balloons & silly magic for Kids |
Close-Up Magic: As guests arrive at your event, there's often a moment of hesitation—strangers standing with a drink in their hand, not sure how to break the ice. That's where I come in.
While strolling from table to table, I engage with your guests personally, turning small groups into laughing circles of amazement, and new friends.
Book today and turn your gathering into a experience of memories that will last a lifetime.
Other services include stage/parlor magic, (Adult audience) and youth entertainment (Birthdays, etc.)

Sean performed at a bachelorette party I was hosting and he was great! He was punctual, funny, entertaining and worth the price. He was really easy to communicate with and flexible with dates/ times, even when I had to reschedule.

The man knows how to entertain an audience and keep you engaged no matter what. It's unique and spontaneous like nothing I've seen before. A good blend of comic show with actual impressive magic skills.

September 6, 2022Sean Wittaker steals the show!
His performances I have seen have all been spectacular to watch. From cards that dissapear, and change before your eyes, to over the top shows that involve several magic show tropes all with a unique twist special to only Sean's work.
