I'm a Philadelphia magician and mentalist who has been performing for audiences since 1996, with more than 500 events behind me, from cocktail hours to awards dinners for audiences of up to 400. I offer strolling magic and mind reading that moves through your guests, a seated mind reading show for galas and dinners, and corporate mind reading built around your company's own message. After twenty years in corporate America, I know how events run. I arrive early and work to whatever time slot you give me. Past clients include Mitchell & Ness, Vanguard, Marriott, Borgata and Fox Chase Cancer Center. Fully insured, with certificates naming your venue on request.

What to expect

Strolling Magic and Mentalism: Perfect for cocktail hours and receptions. I move through the room from group to group, performing close-up magic and mind reading right in your guests' hands. No stage, no microphone and no setup needed. It gets people talking and mixing, and it works in any room.

The Seated Show: A mind reading show for awards dinners, galas and parties. Volunteers from your audience become part of every piece, so the whole room is invested. I work to whatever time slot you give me.

Corporate Mind Reading: For conferences, sales meetings and product launches, I can build a piece around your company's own message, product or theme, so the entertainment reinforces what the event is about.

On the day: I arrive early, check in with your point person and am ready well before start time. I dress to match your event, keep the content clean and appropriate for any audience, and carry full liability insurance.

About

I fell in love with magic at seven years old and have been performing for audiences since 1996. Today I'm a magician and mentalist based in Philadelphia, performing at corporate events, galas, weddings and private celebrations across the East Coast.

I also spent more than twenty years inside corporate America, so I understand what a company event has to accomplish. I know how to read a room, stick to a schedule and make the people who planned the event look good.

My work blends close-up magic with mind reading. At a cocktail hour I move from group to group with sleight of hand and mentalism that happens inches from your guests. For seated audiences I perform a mind reading show built around volunteers from the room, and for corporate clients I can build a piece around your company's own message or product.

I've performed at more than 500 events for audiences of up to 400, for clients including Mitchell & Ness, Vanguard, Marriott, Wyndham, Fox Chase Cancer Center, Borgata, Ocean Casino Resort and Mohonk Mountain House. I carry full liability insurance and can provide a certificate naming your venue.
