WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Hotel guests have named Steven in five-star reviews again and again from his years performing at Portland hotels, and one hotel's own general manager answered their reviews by name-checking his magic.

"Steven... was the star of the show. He made our whole trip! Between his super positive, very helpful attitude and his impressive magic tricks, we loved him!"
— Guest review, Embassy Suites Portland Downtown (TripAdvisor)

"Did not expect to get a free magic show either!!! Steve was truly fantastic and left me and my wife speechless."

"Steve was magical. Top ten service!!"
— Guest review, Embassy Suites Portland Downtown (TripAdvisor)

"Steven... gave us a mini magic show before we took off, and it made a great impression on my son and was super fun for our family."
— Guest review, Embassy Suites Portland Downtown (TripAdvisor)

And when AEW stars Skye Blue and Willow Nightingale caught his act:

Willow: "What do you think? Better than Nigel McGuinness?"
Skye: "That's mean... But yes!"

About

I'm Steven Ioselev, a close-up magician and fire performer based in Portland, Oregon.

I do strolling and close-up magic for weddings, private parties, and corporate events. I work the room in small groups, doing card and coin magic right in front of your guests, so everyone gets a front-row seat. I also offer a stage magic show for larger audiences and an outdoor fire performance for evening events.

My setup is simple and self-contained. I show up on time, keep things relaxed and fun, and make sure your guests have a good time.

Setup requirements

Client provides seating or space for guests

For strolling close-up magic, no space or setup is needed — I perform right among your guests. Fire performance is outdoors only and needs a clear performance area, arranged with you in advance.
