Joe put on a great show that both the adults and kids enjoyed. He was funny and able to adapt to situations and people. He used people in the audience for almost every trick which made it very interactive. Would hire again!

Thanks for your very kind words. What a pleasure to perform for you gentlemen. Enjoy Fenway!
I hired Joe for my graduation party and it is a decision I am so happy I made! He got along with the guests so well and allowed us to interact with him for the show. He showed up early and was ready whenever we were. He was flexible and such a kind gentleman. I look forward to working with him in the near future.

It was my husband’s 41st birthday and he wanted to see a magician. He’s a big fan of close up magic. I looked into going to a show in Boston but then realized I could hire someone to come to us. So I found Joe! He came to my house to perform for 6 of us. He was awesome. Very funny, kept it engaging, involved everyone in the tricks, some really blew our minds. We were very pleased. When I first started looking I noticed the prices ranged pretty significantly. I thought I might need to go with a more expensive magician to get better quality, but when Joe also offered a video of the night, I figured with all of his experience he must be good so I went with him who was very reasonably priced. I’m so glad I did. Like I said he was great, we laughed a lot, and his wife was there to take the video which is awesome. What a memory! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for some fun entertainment and great tricks. It was really cool.

How lucky am I to perform for audiences as open and willing to play this little game we call magic. The real magic is the audience, and this one was very special...what a pleasure.
Joe, was personable and truly added magic to our day. Throughly the event I watched him dazzle small crowds with his tricks and humor. Money well spent! We'll see you again Joe. Thanks

Joe was as professional as it gets! Super responsive via email leading up to my event, punctual, and very personable. He wowed our group with fantastic slight-of hand tricks. Joe was sure to work the room to make it to every guest - remembering everyone's name along the way! I would highly recommend Joe to anyone in the Boston area. He is sure to elevate the fun at your next gathering!!

I hired Joe though GigSalad for a backyard graduation party of about 50 folks of all ages. Joe was very professional and we spoke a number of times to adjust when he would start to ensure most of the folks would have arrived. Joe worked the area very thoroughly and made it a point to go up to groups of 2-8 to surprise them with card and coin tricks. Everyone I spoke with found Joe to be charismatic and amazed at what he did. Joe had a few followers by the end of the party who were very sad to see him go. It was worth every penny and I would not hesitate to give Joe a 5 star review and recommendation.

Hi Joe,
Thank you so much for performing at AIM on Tuesday, Jan 8th. The members loved the show. You were so entertaining and we loved the stories you told while engaging their interests. We look forward to having you back in the spring and would love to book you again for next year too!
Thanks again,

Response from The Magic of Joe Ferranti:
There are givers and takers in this world. The Women of Wilmington, (WOW) and Angels in Motion, (AIM) are among the givers.
Noreen and Pam stand head and shoulders with the givers.(Maybe a little higher.)
Noreen has more than enough to do just raising her family, not to mention she works as an Optometrist.
What an appreciative group. 5 stars for AIM and their volunteers.
I have known Joe for several years. He is without a doubt one of the finest close-up magicians I know. His knowledge of the Art of Magic never ceases to amaze me. He is one of the finest card men I know. Hire him for your event and I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Having seen many magicians over the years, I can honestly say that Joe Ferranti is the best of the best! Guests were amazed and delighted with the stunningly deceptive and graceful magic. Not only was his magic incredible, but his demenaor was warm and welcoming. Instead of "tricking" the audience, he brought us into his world of magic and madce us feel like we were experiencing magic WITH him, not BY him.
From the initial contact on the phone to the final good-bye at the ceremony, I could not be more pleased with his professionalism. For a top-notch close-up magician, you'd be CRAZY not to hire 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.

He is a consistent 5 Star rated Magician on all platforms in Massachusetts.

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 & 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.
