Zach Waldman

Here's what your guests get: real magic and mind reading, delivered by a stand-up comedian. People laugh hard, then can't explain what they just saw.

Every show is built around your event, your crowd, and your goals. It's clean, interactive, and backed by my money-back guarantee.

Close-up magic
This is magic that happens inches from your guests' eyes and in their own hands. It's perfect for cocktail hours, receptions, and mingling time. I set up in one spot and perform for group after group, so every guest gets a front-row show and a story to tell.

Stage comedy magic and mentalism
This is my after-dinner show. It's packed with audience participation, and your guests become the stars. I read minds, predict choices, and turn volunteers into the heroes of the night. It's a strong fit for company parties, holiday parties, galas, and award nights.

Trade shows and hospitality suites
I draw a crowd to your booth or suite and keep people there. I can work your company message into the show so guests remember your brand, not just the magic.

What you can expect from me
I show up early, dressed right, and ready to go. I work with your planner and venue on timing so the show fits your schedule. You get to enjoy your own event while I handle the entertainment.

Comedy magician and mentalist for corporate events and private parties in Los Angeles and nationwide.

I'm Zach Waldman. I'm a headliner at the world-famous Magic Castle in Hollywood, and I've been a member there since 2001.

I'm also a stand-up comedian. I came up through The Players Workshop of The Second City in Chicago and have performed at The Improv and The Comedy Store in Hollywood. That's why my show is built to get big laughs, not just polite applause.

I've been performing my entire life. My clients include Microsoft, Apple, Google, Meta, the LA Kings, and Fortune 500 companies. I've performed for Whitney Houston, Seth MacFarlane, and Sugar Ray Leonard.

What I do:
- Close-up magic and mind reading at cocktail hours and receptions. I set up in one spot and perform for group after group, so every guest gets a front-row show.
- Stage comedy magic and mentalism for company parties, galas, and award nights.
- Trade show booths and hospitality suites that pull people in and keep them there.
- Private parties and milestone celebrations.

Every show is clean, interactive, and built around your guests. You get to enjoy your own event while I handle the entertainment.

Send me your date and guest count and I'll send over a proposal.

If a sound system isn't available, I can provide one. I can accommodate you under all conditions. Problems arise, things happen, but one of your problems WON'T be an entertainer that acts like a prima donna.
