Reel Deel Magic

I specialize in Close-up Magic with everyday objects. I like to put the Magic in the audiences hands more than anything. It’s always stronger that way. I started Magic with cards & coins but I also enjoy doing it with finger rings, pens/sharpies, straws, rubber bands, keys, safety pins, paperclips and other more natural objects that I can find in my performance environment.

With my style of Magic I like to go around to individuals or smaller groups and show them 2 or 3 tricks out of my walk-around sets. I like to hop from group-group or table-table and show every one something different so not every group sees the exact same tricks over and over like a broken record. I already have a Close-up and Parlor act down with walk-around & sit down effects that I can interchange to fit the theme/environment I’m performing in.

I can adhere to formal as well as casual dress code.

Born & raised in Oklahoma I first got into Magic back in about 2011 as I was in either 6th or 7th grade when my parents got me the Cris Angel “MINDFREAK!” Magic Kit for Christmas one year. I’ve fallen in love with the art form ever since.

I’ve been performing Magic for 15 years now. I’ve been performing professionally for 4 years and it’s been fantastic! My most recent performance was at Put A Cork In It a winery in downtown OKC for the Close-Up Conjuring & Cabernet show produced by a friend John Shack. I’ve performed regularly at The Magic Showplace Theater & Rabbit-in-Hat Magic Shop up in Locust Grove, OK just E of Tulsa. I’ve also performed at the Harvest Moon Ball Corporate Event held at a hotel in Tulsa, OK this past year.

When I first got into Magic of course I used cards, coins, and other colorful & flashy props. As I get older I’ve transitioned to more natural and organic magic. I don’t like to carry too many things on me that take up space. I like to pack small but play big, use other peoples objects and/or what’s in my environment to make magical moments.

The only 4 things I *require* are:

*1. I must receive a 25% non-refundable deposit upon confirmation of booking. I am an artist just like a Musician, Comedian, etc… and need assurance that I will not be given the run around when it comes time for me to get paid at the end of the event. This will reserve your day and time on my calendar and close it for other potential clients that may want to book me. The only time I would ever cancel a booking less than 48hrs in advance is if an emergency situation came up.

*2. I am to be given all details available from the client who booked me no later than 2 weeks before the event including venue address, time & date, theme/atmosphere of the event/venue, dress code, whether I’ll be performing inside or outside or a mix of both. Whether I’ll be performing stationary behind a “bar” or table setup in a parlor type setting, strolling, table/group hopping, or a bigger stage performance with sitting guests or come & go or a mix of styles for different times or time of day.

*3. Social Media: If I am allowed to film performances for social media I will bring my own tripod and/or possibly bring a videographer to accompany me to said event which will be paid by me the performer. If it is just myself and a tripod then I will make sure the tripod is out of the way of guests and does not interfere with the event. Social Media is another form of business card that allows me to help promote myself without a website. If any performance is filmed it will only be posted on my Magic Instagram, Facebook & Snapchat and I would tag the business I’m helping to promote as well as tagging the person who booked me if they want. I don’t do TikTok yet.

*4. I am not to perform while food or drinks are being consumed simply because when this happens people are not engaged or interested in the slightest about the Magic once a meal is in front of them the Magic starts interfering with the event rather than enhancing it. I am able to perform between or after all courses have been served and finished or if there is one then at the bar or even behind it because I have my Liquor License, Servsafe and am currently a Craft Bartender at Chido Tacos & Tequila inside of Okana Resort & Indoor Waterparks 2nd floor near downtown OKC !
