A Perfect Birthday

Brian put on a show for my dad, Ted’s, 80th birthday. My dad was an amateur magician in his youth. The show was so entertaining and interactive for 3 generations of people. Even my 13 year old son was delighted by it. Dad said it was the best birthday surprise he’s ever had in 80 years. I cannot recommend Brian more enthusiastically. He confounded and delighted our whole family with his magic and incredibly engaging show. Thank you so much, Brian!!

Amazing Magician and Incredible Show!

I hired Brian Bence for my friend’s bachelorette party, and it was hands-down one of the best decisions we made all weekend. From the moment he arrived (right on time!), he was polished, professional, and completely engaging. There were six of us, and Brian made sure every single person felt included and part of the experience. His show was interactive, high-energy, and genuinely mind-blowing. We were laughing, screaming, and constantly asking, “HOW DID HE DO THAT?!”

If you think magicians are just for kids, think again! Brian brought such a fun, elevated energy to the night and truly made it unforgettable. I would hire him again in a heartbeat and recommend him without hesitation for any event! He added something incredibly special to our weekend, and we’re still talking about it! Thanks again Brian! :)

Gig length: 30 - 60 minutes

Insurance: $1,000,000 - Full show/performance coverage

What to expect

My show starts with a magical intro to music and then on to the main show. I then transition into an amazing mind reading demonstration, assistant effects, and interactive magic with the audience. Many in attendance become the stars of the show!
I can tailor any show to a specific theme or age group, and if mixed ages I have routines suitable for all ages!

About

I have been performing closeup, birthday party, corporate, and family magic for over 27 years! I provide an entertaining and wholesome show that is fun for all ages! My typical show is 45 minutes in length and includes magic to music, illusions with silks, coins, cards, puppets, fun mentalism/mind-reading that is amazing and at times really funny, and much more!
