Booked Nathaniel as a surprise for my girlfriend's birthday. Not only was he extremely professional and easy to work with (booked him last minute) - was one of the most personable and talented magicians I have ever encountered. Nathaniel re-sparks the feelings of imagination and wonder you get from magic as a kid. Thank you again!

Nathaniel did a great magic show for our recent project launch via Zoom. He did a number of tricks for us and he took the time at the end of the show to actually teach us how to do a trick or two. I was impressed by his professionalism and flexibility in designing and delivering a custom show for our somewhat unique needs. I highly recommend him and we wouldn't hesitate to book him again in the future.

I hired Magical Nathaniel to come in as a surprise for my team’s holiday party at my house. We were 20 people in my small house so it was a tight squeeze but Nathaniel made it work! Fun tricks and great personality. Will definitely hire him again!

We hired Nethaniel for our Halloween party this year (2025). He was fantastic! He entertained all of our guests (which were mixed-ages, families) with some amazing magic. In fact, everyone was talking about them well after he left and even a few days later. He also arrived on-time, performed above and beyond the requested time and was very friendly & approachable. We will definitely hire him again!

Nathaniel was an absolute pleasure to work with - so glad I found him! From the initial communication, through to arriving early at the venue, and being so engaging and with our meeting attendees. Was exactly what I was looking/hoping for and would highly, highly recommend Nathaniel for any kind of event, young and old.

What to expect

I offer full shows, close up walk around magic, workshops, or other customized entertainment for your event! Whether it is for a corporate event, private party, or other occasion, when you book a show with me, you can expect complete professionalism and low stress for you. In the weeks and days before the event, I will open all lines of communication so you can ask any questions, and expect to get a timely and thorough response. I always check in a few days before the event to make sure all details are set. I provide all necessary equipment and show up early at the venue to set up. During the show, you can expect every person in the audience to be entertained and amazed and your goals are met. In the end, you can expect a great show with minimal hassle and that your guests will be talking about the magic well after the event!

You can expect the same level of professionalism with my online virtual performances.

My full show is great for any event where you would like to have all guests focused on the entertainment during a set time. The show is full of incredible sleight of hand, impossible mind reading, and other mind blowing magic. You will see incredible original effects as well as magic that have even been featured on National TV. My walk around magic is perfect for atmospheric entertainment as I am able to 'roam' from group to group sharing intimate illusions and miracles inches from the spectators faces. I am able to do a combination of these options for your event and can even create customized options to fit your vision for an event.

Thanks for getting in touch and let me know if you have any questions at all. I look forward to working with you and helping to make your next event a success!

"I love magic and see a *lot* of shows. Nathaniel's performance at my company was one of the best I've seen -- his energy, creativity, and professionalism set him apart from the rest. Everyone loved it, the whole company was buzzing after his performance!  In addition, he fooled me completely with several effects, which doesn't happen very often..."

About

Hello! My name is Nathaniel Segal and I am an award winning Los Angeles based full time magician who has been performing magic shows professionally for over a decade. I have a degree from UC Berkeley in applied math and theater, was a past president of the Oakland Magic Circle, teacher of the credit based magic class at Cal, and have been invited to speak at the prestigious Gathering 4 Gardner celebration. I recently appeared on the hit television show Penn & Teller: Fool Us on the CW network. I use my knowledge of math and magic to create original magic that is both entertaining and deceptive, and has fooled some of the top minds of Silicon Valley. I am available for private parties, corporate events, and other special occasions in Los Angeles and beyond!
