August 31, 2026The historical conjurer is a true professional entertainer! We hired him for a private birthday party at our friend's home which was a themed dress code. As expected, the HC came in his historical attire which fit perfectly with our party theme. He even had a Q&A with us afterwards which the crowd loved. I'd recommend him for anyone who wants a professional, high quality, smooth experience.

August 18, 2026Had the pleasure of working with the Historical Conjurer for my husbands 40th and he did not disappoint! I especially love that he wove in history to his act and we walked away learning so much. His props were excellent as well! 10/10!

June 25, 2026The conjurer was everything for our adult event. Talented (possibly even possessed w/ true magic), funny, great personality and style (a performer you'd enjoy having coffee...not the slick, cheesy kind). He's also a great communicator, thoughtful, punctual....again, he's everything.

June 22, 2026The Historical Conjurer could not have been a better experience to have at my birthday party. He went above and beyond to make the performance special and his magic was out of this world. All of my friends and family were blown away and said it was the highlight of the party.

August 30, 2026The Historical Conjurer was the perfect cocktail hour entertainment. He was very entertaining and spellbinding. The guests had a wonderful experience and we, the bride and groom, got a taste of a bit of extra special magic. If you've ever considered magical entertainment, Professor DR Schreiber is your 1800s guy.

Early in the 18th century, magic (or conjuring as it was referred) emerged as a genuine art form and entertainment. Professors of natural philosophy and conjuring would rent taverns, legitimate theaters or lecture halls for the exhibition and displays of legerdemain, necromancy, or what would today be called “illusion” and “magic tricks.” Top dollar would be paid by the citizens of Europe to see the latest discoveries in the science of “natural philosophy.”
Professor DR Schreiber, the historical conjurer, is a member of the Academy of Magic Arts (Magic Castle) and former president and member for the Society of American Magicians Portland Assembly. Professor DR Schreiber was awarded with the Stan Kramien Excellence in Stage Magic Award from the Society of American Magicians Portland Assembly. He has performed and lectured around the world and is also an instructor in magic as well as a magic consultant for legitimate theater companies. In addition, he is a frequent emcee, magic historian and historical re-enactor. In addition, he is a part cast member at Disneyland and a former TV new producer.
My performance is best in an indoor space. I am flexible and able to adjust to most environments. I also have sound equipment and lighting gear available for an additional fee.

I take my inspiration from the earliest magicians of the 18th and early 19th century. These names have long been lost to popular culture, but include magic greats like Comte, Giuseppe Pinetti, Jean Eugene Robert Houdin and more.
