Don’t Blink!!

You will be absolutely amazed at the skill and showmanship that George brings to the table. His personality is shown in his skill and the magic is top notch. My oldest son was lucky enough to be included in the show in which he still has the signed card in his box of favorite things and memories.

What to expect

For those attending a show, you can expect a fun and unique experience. You will see magic with cards, ropes, coins, borrowed objects as well as mentalsim and mind reading stunts. My shows have a lot of audience participation as well.

For those booking for a private event or corporate event, you can expect immediate correspondence on all details of the event. I like to learn as much as possible about the event and client and customize magic to fit. I arrive self contained with everything necessary to perform. I confirm the event at different stages leading up to it and the day before to give event planners and clients piece of mind.

About

I have been doing magic for more than 20 years. I specialize in close up magic and have a 100% satisfaction guarantee. I also perform stand up/stage shows at colleges and universities. I have a lot of video content on Instagram at @Ripleysmagic which is reprentative of the type of magic I perform. I can also be located on Facebook at Ripley's Believe It..It's Magic and YouTube. I have my own television segment called Magic in the Morning on Fox 43 Morning News once a month. I am based in York, PA and currently service Central PA, South Jersey and Northern Maryland but have performed magic as far as Florida. My approach to magic is unique and fun for everyone. Customization is available for all bookings. All material is family friendly. Magic with cards, coins, borrowed objects and items on location are a staple in any performance.

Additional booking notes

Performer is self contained with PA system.

Video projection to screen at larger auditoriums/venues to be provided by booking party.
