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.)

July 3, 2026Sean Whittaker - Amazing, Hilarious, Unforgettable
Sean travelled all the way to Harrison, BC to deliver a fantastic show at a large cabin we had rented for a Bachelor Party. We weren't sure what kind of performer would best keep 18 young men engaged and entertained for an hour; this was perfect. Sean's act was a perfect mix of magic tricks and mentalism that left us in awe. Even better, he engaged with us and came up with witty, off-the-cuff remarks that had us laughing the whole way through. Thank you for making our weekend, Sean!

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.
