Amazing!

Joe was hired for my daughters
20 year old birthday celebration in my home. He was a huge hit. As the parent coordinating this event I appreciate how easygoing he was to work with. He arrived on time and set up with minimal effort on my part. His card tricks impressed everyone and his presentation was wonderful - funny and engaging.

Amazing!!! Joe is the Best!

I worked with Joe to celebrate my sister's surprise 40th. He was extremely easy to work with, flexible on time and date, and most importantly performed the most incredible magic. His tricks were very impressive and left us completely baffled and in awe. We were also so close to him, with it being an intimate setting, and still have no idea how he did what he did. We loved having him celebrate with us and would love to book him again in the future.

Absolutely amazing

We hired Joe to do some strolling magic for my daughter's graduation party. He was fantastic! He took the time to perform for everyone in the room. I highly recommend The Magic of Joe Ferranti!

What to expect

To see how past clients enjoy my entertainment, please watch some videos of my work. You can find examples of Wedding Magic, Adult Birthday Parties and more.
Most spectators have never seen a professional Magician in person. The difference from seeing something on TV, as opposed to , up close, in your hands is dramatic.
Typical reactions from groups are laughing, expletives, running away. In short, they are stunned at seeing something the "know" can't happen.
There are two ingredients which make for a successful performance. Technical skill is essential. It literally takes countless hours of practice to attain a professional level of expertise. One of magic's bigest secrets is you will not see the technical skills.
Just as important as technique is having a persona/charisma to interact with the many personalities attending an event. These two qualities will ensure an entertaining performance. (only one is insufficient.)

My clients expect a 5 star performance. I will go over every detail of an event to ensure that I am the "right fit" for your event. Again,please take a few minutes to see me perform for real people, in the real world.

About

Joe is without a doubt one of Boston’s Best Walk Around/Strolling Magicians.
He is a consistent 5 Star rated Magician on all platforms in Massachusetts.

What does this mean to you? ... Whether your event is a Wedding, Birthday Party or Corporate event, your “Day” will long be remembered by all of your guests. (They will tell you so.)
See for yourself and check out the videos of live interaction with guests from previous events. (videos right here on Gig Salad)
We provide two styles of entertainment...The Strolling/Walk Around Magician and the Intimate Parlor show. If you are not certain which style will suit your event, feel free to contact for a no "pressure" consultation.
(Truly no pressure, nobody wins if I try to "sell" you a service that is not suitable for your event.)

The Magical entertainment is geared for adults, but be assured it is clean comedy, and no one is ever embarrassed. At events where children are in attendance, there is always some entertainment for them as well.
Your total satisfaction is guaranteed by Joe Ferranti Professional Magician

Additional booking notes

No equipment is necessary. When I perform, I don't even need a table. Quite often I use the spectators hands to assist in the Magic. I need a few sips of water, ( I talk a lot.) but I don't think that's a technical requirement.
One less thing for you to worry about. I arrive and entertain,... simple as that.

Influences and inspiration

Magic is at a high point in popularity, and we are fortunate to see some of the best present day performers on TV through such popular programs as Penn and Teller Fool Us, and AGT. These magicians inspire, more than influence me. In fact I rarely if ever attend "magicians" lectures anymore. Precisely for the reason is to avoid influence or copying.
I have a wealth of material to choose from, and have sifted through countless "tricks" and have arrived at what I consider the most commercial effects in existence. I have spent the last ten years honing these effects to fit personality/style so that my audiences will not see from anyone else what is uniquely my individual presentation.
In short,I no longer chase trends, but follow my instincts and listen to my audiences to insure they receive the very best in close up magic entertainment.
