What to expect

For a small birthday or dinner party, Ryan can perform a focused close-up experience for the group. For cocktail hours, receptions, fundraisers, and larger private gatherings, he circulates among small groups with short, complete pieces of magic and mind reading. Company events receive the same clean, professional, self-contained approach.

Most bookings run 60–90 minutes. Ryan coordinates with the host and venue, arrives early, and works around food service, speeches, and the event schedule. Guests are invited to participate. Final pricing depends on date, location, duration, guest count, and format.

About

Ryan Shaw has performed professionally since 2018, developing close-up magic and mentalism for adult audiences at private celebrations, cocktail hours, fundraisers, college and community events, and company gatherings. His approach is conversational and participant-focused: dependable material, clear communication, and moments of surprise that bring a room together. Ryan continually studies, rehearses, and refines close-up magic, mentalism, audience management, and live-event performance.

Additional booking notes

Most close-up and strolling bookings are self-contained and require no sound system, stage, or special lighting. A secure place for personal items, a clear arrival contact, and access to the room before the performance are helpful. Ryan coordinates timing around food service, speeches, and the venue schedule. For a stage-style booking, room layout and any available AV are confirmed in advance.
