November 2, 2025Matt is Amazing!!!
We hired Matt for a house party of 150+ people. To start he mingled with our guest and performed magic tricks. Each group he approached gasp with disbelief - his tricks were mind blowing! Everyone was eager to spend time with him and he efficiently made contact with everyone. Then he set up a small area to have guest do a simple drawing & their signature. From these he gave them a personal reading of their personality traits and other interesting facts about them. It was amazing and so accurate! The screams and laughter of how true they were drew everyone's attention. He used his time wisely and was able to connect with many guests. He was very personal & polite the entire evening and we all enjoyed his presence. He added so much to our party. I loved that he did both magic tricks and the readings - it was very entertaining. He was the talk of the party! His card tricks can not be explained even after you watch them several times, which several guest did by following him around because they were so astonished and the readings were very spot on!! Matt has the personality and a bag of tricks that will entertain and add fun to any type of event for any ages. I HIGHLY recommend him.

October 19, 2025Surprise wedding magic
We booked Matt to do close up magic at our cocktail hour and then he stayed to do tarot readings during the reception and it was great! Matt blended right in with the crowd and people really enjoyed it. I’m excited to get the pictures back of me being surprised by the card tricks- which were mind boggling. I think there was even a line for the tarot readings the whole night.
Matt was also super easy to book with, showed up on time with all his props, and really wowed our guests. Couldn’t have asked for a better surprise magician to make our day even more **magical**!

May 19, 2025Engaging and Entertaining!!
Matt did a fabulous job at our event of about 70 people. His walk around technique was very effective and made great connections with attendees. We were all on edge to see how the tricks ended. Highly recommend this local Greensboro talent. You won’t be disappointed!

October 7, 2024Wonderful Performer
Matt has been at our company's fall festival for two years now. Along with being very professional, respectful, and courteous, he is also just a really nice person. I even had other vendor come up to me speaking highly of him. His illusions are out of this world, all my employees are still talking about him. If you are looking for a magician or an illusionist, look no further!

November 1, 2023Mind blowing!
We booked Matt for a kids Halloween party after seeing his profile on Instagram. . He was very professional and easy to communicate with. However, we did not expect to be so mind blown. When he left the whole party was still asking “how?” Not just the children but adults of all ages. He was fun and very talented! If you want an incredible magician/illusionist at your dinner party, corporate event or event…small or big BOOK Matt!!!!!

What to expect
Your next event will be the most talked about by your guests after they witness truly impossible happenings made up of magic, comedy, mischief, psychology etc.. where they will be involved with the magic as it impossibly unfolds right under their noses creating true astonishment. Many of the miracles to be witnessed end with impossible souvenirs-gifts for your guests to take home & cherish for years to come, meaning their extraordinary claims of what they witnessed will now have the extraordinary proof designed to be displayed as conversation pieces.
About
While growing up in Chihuahua Mexico I experienced my first magic show where I'll never forget watching the performer with his props & the audience's reaction which is where I decided I wanted to create those very moments for anyone I met in the future. My passion is creating these impossible moments of visual magic using applied psychology that is geared towards the spectator's point of view & with what they take away from the over all experience of pure impossibilities they witnessed in first person. I also create many different impossible objects-souvenirs for the spectators involved to keep that are truly one of a kind pieces you'll never find anywhere else or made from those memorable events. My material has fooled, captivated, and inspired many of the leading magicians, artist, celebrities in general & I look forward to performing for you with your guests at your next party, event, or occasion.
Additional booking notes
I don't require assistance as my material is designed for any environment from walk around in restaurants to stand up shows all designed to be catered to what you have in mind for your event.
