February 27, 2025Gerry was everything we hoped for in a Party Magician
We had adults to entertain and several rowdy boys to contain and Gerry was just perfect! One of the adults called a few days later saying he thought he knew how to do that one trick:) They will all be talking about our party for awhile.

March 28, 2024Fantastic - The kids loved every minute!
Gerry recently performed at my son's birthday party - there were 40 kids ranging from 3 - 12. From the minute he started until the very last trick, every kid was completely enthralled with Gerry. A neighbor from the down the street said she could hear all of the kid's laughter from her house and had to stop over to see what was so fun!

Thanks it was a ton of fun! I’m sure a lot of the kids have never seen a magic show before and they behaved wonderfully. What a great daycare center!

Every child gets a free magic trick or magic treasure map after every show.
About
I am a myrtle beach Area Performer specializing in family entertainment and I offer "Stress Free" performances. You can relax and enjoy your party knowing I'm a professional that can entertain your audience.
All of my shows are scripted and include music, puppets and lots of opportunities to make your guests feel like rockstars. I study children's age groups and modify my shows to what age group I'm in front of.
I believe that time as a family is in short supply and I work hard to get families together and connect at my shows.
We offer magic shows, bubble shows, amazing face painting, balloon twisting and walk around magic.
I have full liability insurance, have been background checked, and am a member in good standing of the International Brotherhood Of Magicians, The Fellowship Of Christian Magician, and The International Jugglers Alliance.
My shows are all self inclusive with battery operated PA systems so no cords to trip over, and I have no set up requirements from a full stage show, to working in your back yard.

Influences and inspiration
Silly Billy has been a great influence on me. He really teaches how to connect with children, and what makes them laugh at every age. His book "Totally Silly" is the bike for family entertainment and I reference it often.
Another influence is Allessandro Zanardi. He was an race car driver that I worked with at Chip Ganassi Racing. By watching Alex meet with all types of people, from movie stars to my own family and especially children, he treated them all the same way. He wasn't fake with them or any different when meeting a pop star to a kid who came up to him for an autograph. He really was a huge influence for me.
