Overview
Hi there!
I specialize in sleight of hand, close-up magic!
My brand of magic is best suited for small casual close-up magic shows (groups smaller than 16 people) or walkaround magic (I show tricks to many small groups).
This is ideal for entertaining small groups and leaving lasting memories at birthday parties, corporate events, weddings, or other private events. I can also customize magic tricks to tailor to a particular event's theme (especially if it's in the realm of nerd/geek culture).
I have even put on an "introduction to sleight of hand" class for library programs.
I'm based in the greater Rochester NY metro area for live events or available for virtual interactive magic shows!

April 19, 2026Hire this guy for your birthday party!
First off, Nam is incredible at what he does. The tricks and presentation were amazing, he is highly skilled, and it was a blast to have him perform for my group of 20-30somethings. He had a great vibe and is very sociable. He planned some amazing custom card tricks and really took the time and effort to plan the show and meld with the crowd!
He was straightforward and communicative during the booking process. He arrived early and got started pretty much right away. Hire this guy for your adult birthday party and/or any other whimsical event; you won’t regret it! 10/10 magician

March 13, 2026Great energy and customized acts!
Nam came with awesome energy & a customized set of magic tricks, tailored to me personally. I appreciated the personal touches he added from our conversation.
He was flexible with the space he performed in as well as it was slightly different than discussed. Guests of all ages (8-66) were entranced by Nam's tricks. I highly recommend booking him for your next function!

January 28, 2026Skilled, engaging, and a perfect fit for our holiday party
Nam brought sleight of hand card magic to our company holiday party, and he absolutely crushed it! Every group he visited ended up with the same response: disbelief, laughter, and a lot of “do that again!” He’s extremely skilled, but also knows how to read a room and keep things fun and light. If you’re considering him, do it — he made the night better.

About
Hi there!
Magic started out as a hobby for me, with me posting my magic performances on YouTube. I then started performing casual virtual interactive magic shows on Twitch live streams. However, I got a taste of performing magic in real life at conventions, parties, and friends' events. Now I'm putting myself out there to bring joy, wonder, and lasting memories in real life gigs!
Additional booking notes
For my casual interactive close-up magic shows: I'll need a table surface to perform on
For an educational lecture/interactive workshop: I'll need a table, and a TV/projector setup
For trade shows, conferences, or conventions: Depending on your needs, I may need a table surface
