October 12, 2026Amazing magic tricks and professional demeanor
Our wedding guests LOVED his magic tricks. My wife and I also were amazed by his card trick! Lots of friends now want to book him for their gatherings. I would definitely book William again for a future event. He was a highlight of our wedding reception!

October 21, 2026Truly Magical🪄
Will is truly MAGICAL! Absolutely incredible! He was amazing with both kids and adults, knew exactly how to work the crowd, and was the perfect balance of professional and funny. His tricks left us all STUNNED (even the skeptics) and we’re still asking, “HOW did he do that?!” He made our party unforgettable, and we’ll definitely be hiring him again. Can’t recommend him enough!

October 12, 2026Absolutely Amazing — Our Group Was Blown Away!
I hired Will to perform at our bachelor/bachelorette weekend in Palm Springs for a large group of 21 people, and he was absolutely fantastic! From the beginning, he was professional, sweet, and incredibly easy to communicate with.
His show was engaging, fun, and seriously impressive. He kept a group of 21 adults completely entertained, and after every trick, everyone was looking at each other asking, “HOW did he do that?!” A week later, our group is still talking about his show and trying to figure out his tricks. I have a feeling we’ll be bringing up “the magician in Palm Springs” for years to come!
Will was one of the highlights of our entire weekend and worth every penny. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for something unique and memorable for a party or event, and I would hire him again in a heartbeat the next time we’re in the area!

October 5, 2026Guaranteed makes you laugh and will blow you away
We saw Will preform at the Theatre of Magic and let me start by saying I was so impressed with his perfect blend of magic and comedy. He preformed tricks that we are still talking about to this day. He had a way of connecting with the audience and making everyone laugh and shocked at the same time. Perfect night out with friends, family or even a date night.

What to expect
Expect plenty of laughter, audience interaction, and moments that seem impossible.
For cocktail hours, receptions, and other mingling events, I move from group to group performing highly interactive close-up magic. It's a great way to break the ice, spark conversations, and keep everyone engaged without interrupting the flow of the event.
For stage performances, audiences can expect an interactive show filled with astonishing magic, humor, and audience participation. Every show is tailored to the audience and designed to make volunteers feel like the stars of the show, never the butt of the joke.
Whether you're planning a corporate event, wedding, private party, fundraiser, or family celebration, my goal is simple: to give your guests an experience they'll still be talking about long after the event is over.
About
Established in 2016.
I began performing close-up, table-side magic at the California Magic Club in the San Francisco Bay Area when I was 13 years old. Now, I am a 26-year-old San Diego based magician with over a decade of experience entertaining guests at a variety of events, including birthday celebrations, weddings, and large corporate events.
Additional booking notes
My performances are designed to be flexible and can be adapted to a wide variety of venues and event spaces.
For stage or parlor-style shows, I request a performance area with the audience primarily seated or standing in front of me. Access to the performance area shortly before the performance for setup is appreciated.
For close-up walkaround magic, no special setup is required.
If your venue presents any unique considerations, I'm happy to discuss accommodations in advance.
