Zack performed my daughter’s fifth birthday party, and he did an outstanding job! Zack was easy to communicate with ahead of time, very flexible, and he was incredibly reliable. I was blown away by how captivated the audience was by the performance, from the two, three and four year olds who sat and watched and interacted with Zack, through 8-10 year olds who were amazed and had a ton of fun, all the way up through parents and grandparents, who continued talking about how great he was, even hours later. Zack did an incredible job interacting with all the different ages, and he seemed un-phased and at ease with the littlest ones crawling around while he performed. Zack also did an outstanding job of subtly keeping the birthday girl as the center of attention - and she is shy, so I found this to be especially impressive. All of the children were able to participate and interact, but he made sure the birthday girl was included and comfortable. The perfect addition to the party!

Thank you so much Jennessa!
I'm so glad you and the kids enjoyed the show! Your son is such a kind and mature young man and I got to see before the show what a good big brother he is. It was a joy to perform for he and his cousins (aunt) and neighbor friend.
Thanks again and I also appreciate the kind tip very much!

Thank you, Linna! I had a blast and I'm glad the kids enjoyed the show!
Zack had great communication with me leading up to the event. He was a little early and made sure that we were ready for him to start. He did a great job including the birthday girls. His tricks were great, all of the adults and children raved about him after the show. He was truly entertaining in every aspect and was very much "in his element" while performing. Also, he was very funny!
I would recommend him to anyone looking for a Magician!

Thank you so much for the glowing review, Kortni! I had such an amazing time at the party. It is always extra fun when the adults get as "into it" as the kids and aren't afraid to have fun with them! Your family and friends were all so wonderful!
We had Zack for a summer school assembly and he was able to keep the kids laughing and mystified. Good amount of participation and a positive attitude.

Strolling/Close-up Magician
Zack Percell of TnZ Magic was amazing as he entertained our Tom's Christian Tours groups during our two Mystery Tour weekends this past February. Working with Zack from start to finish was enjoyable and easy. He quickly responded to our messages and made booking our two shows simple and affordable. He was able to come to our chosen venue (even through a snowstorm!) and was set up and welcoming as our 100+ senior citizens arrived for the show. And the show!...it was incredible. He kept everyone smiling, involved, and attentive during his 90+ minutes show. All of our guests left happy and impressed. Zack was truly an asset and a memorable part of our Mystery Tours. Thank you Zack!

Zack did a great job at entertaining the guests at our party!
Comedy Magician
We hired Zack for a hospital staff Christmas party. His act was amazing. His combination of humor and magic kept the whole crowd entertained the whole time. I really LOVED the "stolling magic" where he does up close tricks for people as they mingle during the party. People absolutely loved this part of the entertainment. He is a personable guy. He was punctual and didn't require anything from us as far as setting up. Very professional. I would highly recommend him and his act to any party or gathering big or small. Very reasonable price.

My 6 year old daughter recently became interested in magic and has been performing her own basic magic tricks at home. So the theme of her 6th birthday was "magic". We decided to spend the weekend at the Kalarhari in Wisconsin Dells for her birthday party, and wanted to surprise everyone with a real life magician to boot! I contacted Zack and couldn't have been more pleased with his response time and ability to help us figure out what we needed. Although we weren't going to have too many kids there and our 6 year old would be the oldest, Zack was easily able to tailor his show to keep the small group of young children completely enthralled with his performance AND keep the larger group of adults entertained, laughing, and still a couple weeks later, in awe of the show. Although we were in a hotel suite, is was easy to see that Zack's show could easily be adapted to any size venue. I would highly recommend Zack for any children's party/event and could easily tell that his skills and performance would be well suited for an audience of only adults as well. I could not possibly have been more satisfied with the service we received beginning with the very first email contact.

Zach performed at our annual daycare Christmas party. The children were completely under his spell from the start of the show to the end. We were a tough crowd too....with a mixed age group of kids from infants & toddlers up to 4th and 5th graders. I would highly recommend Zach. He was on time, very professional, and a lot of fun!

The magic was great and the audience loved it. Good comedy with lots of laughs as well. Zack was able to ad lib as he got to know the crowd, and built a trick around a present given to one of our staff. We would definitely book him again if the need arose.

We hired Zack for our 8yro son's birthday party. Zack's Magic Show and the Magic Trick Teaching Lesson were fantastic! Our son, his friends and adults all loved the show which was fun, energetic, educational, audience involving and all along FUNNY. We all were amazed at the tricks and laughed through out the show. Zack and his show were just as advertized on his website. He came 25min early and was ready to start before scheduled time. Zack was professional and courteous from the initial phone/email conversations all the way to the end. You can trust Zack to provide your party guests with great magic and lots of laughs. The day after the birthday party one of my son's friend's Dad told me: "All I keep hearing about is how great the Magician was!" We will definitely recommend Zack to anyone seeking a Magician.

Zack performed at my son's 11th birthday party recently and did an exceptional job. He arrived early for set up, was professional, but was also approachable and funny with the kids. Not only did his presentation of magic WOW everyone, but he was very considerate...took time to teach all the boys some magic tricks and left them each with some little gifts of magic that they loved. He was terrific and we will likely be hiring him again soon! I highly recommend him for any event.

We had Zack come for my aunt and uncle's 30th anniversary party, and he was a big hit! We had over 50 guests of all ages and everyone was amazed. The guests STILL talk about how good the show was and it was almost a month ago! One of the biggest questions is 'where the heck did the lit cigarette go' lol. Everyone enjoyed the show so much, lots of the adult guests are planning on hiring Zack for some of their parties.

About
Want to see Rubik's Cube magic tricks and feats like you've probably never seen anywhere before? You may have seen something similar on America's Got Talent or Penn and Teller's Fool Us! That is because I have worked with the magicians, consultants and producers of these shows! Want to see Cube tricks that even make professional cubers' jaws drop? Want to see a live dove instantly appear before your eyes?
How would you like to see the illusion if a human head blowing up and deflating like a BALLOON or what is considered to be the "Greatest solo performer stage illusion in history" by the international magic community when I makes a table not only float but FLY around the "stage" and over the audience!
A perfect blend of comedy and theatrical magic is what you get when you book me!
These are a few examples of the things you might see when you see me, Zack Percell perform my stand-up magic and comedy show.
My various programs include dozens of other effects. Some of my original routines have never been seen anywhere but in my show, and some tricks have been seen on national TV!
Past clients have said that my close-up (strolling/street) magic is professional, mind blowing visual entertainment at its BEST! I am a sleight of hand expert with over 25 years of experience entertaining LIVE audiences all over the US and on 3 other continents.
See the looks on their faces when I make a penny grow gradually to 30 plus X its normal size - figure out the name of a thought of celebrity and then cut out a silhouette of their face in a business card - cause objects to float just inches from audience member's faces - have an audience member take out a one dollar bill of their own, write the serial number down (the bill's finger print) rip the bill into quarters, them selves, and watch as I put it back together with my bare hands! They will never forget it!
I occasionally change five $1 bills into five $100 bills INSTANTLY before your eyes, then immediately hand them out for inspection, and MUCH MUCH MORE!
Check out my show Promo videos and other details here on my Gigsalad Promo kit.
Book me to find out why my clients say that I am not just a magician, but a true professional entertainer and why 100% of my legitimate Google ratings are super positive and are all 5 STARS!!

Additional Booking Notes
I have no specific lighting requirements, however my show is designed so that it will work under numerous special lighting situations and I am quite flexible.

Testimonials
“Thank you so much for a great performance at Jack's 7th birthday party! It was amazing that you were able to keep the pure attention of 35 people from age 2-60! Everyone had a wonderful time and your show was a blast. The kids have been talking about it nonstop and we have received several calls from parents stating how much their child enjoyed the show and how they want to have the same party when it's their birthday! You not only showed us great magic, but you also a provided a funny show. I have not ever seen so many kids so involved, concentrating and quiet at one second, to giggling out of their minds the very next second. All the kids also really enjoyed their magic goodie bags. It kept them busy the rest of the party and they were so excited to show their parents magic tricks when they got home. It was an all around success and that is thanks to you. We have seen other magicians, but you were by far the best. You are a credit to your profession and have an a! mazing talent to entertain. You were so good to the kids and we can't thank you enough.
THANK YOU!"
