Award-recognized comedy magician and mentalist for hire with stage, walk-around, and grand-illusion performances for corporate events, weddings, milestone celebrations, and private parties across the San Francisco Bay Area, Central Valley, Sacramento, and Foothills. Travel available throughout California and nationwide. Performances combine classic close-up sleight of hand, modern mentalism, and warm conversational comedy. A single act designed to surprise the guest who has seen every magician on television and delight the guest experiencing a magic show for the first time.
The work goes well past trick-of-the-week sleight. It leans on real human connection, careful observation, and a quiet sense of mystery to leave audiences talking long after the event is over. Five-star feedback across thirty independent reviews and fifty-six verified bookings on GigSalad reflect a track record with corporate event planners, wedding coordinators, and private hosts looking for an entertainer who shows up on time, reads the room, and delivers.
Performance formats included
Standard sets run sixty minutes and adapt to the space. Walk-around close-up magician sets fit cocktail hours, networking receptions, dinner parties, and trade-show booth activations, with the work happening inches from guests' faces. Small-stage cabaret works for living rooms, intimate corporate offsites, and milestone birthdays. Full-stage grand illusion shows are available for conferences, holiday parties, fundraisers, and product launches where a centerpiece moment is needed. A magic show that scales from twelve guests around a dinner table to four hundred in a hotel ballroom is part of the work.
Where the act lands well
Corporate audiences enjoy the comedy and mentalism mix because it scales: a CEO town hall, a sales kickoff, a team-building offsite, a board dinner, an annual planning retreat, a trade show booth. Each gets a tailored set list shaped to the company and the room. Weddings get an interactive cocktail-hour magician set that fills the space between ceremony and reception, plus optional bookings for the rehearsal dinner or the next-day brunch. Milestone birthdays and anniversaries are a natural fit. The act is family-friendly, so a magician for birthday party events with mixed-age guests, kids parties, bar and bat mitzvahs, baby showers, retirement celebrations, graduations, and engagement parties all work.
The mentalism layer
Beyond sleight of hand, the act includes subtle mind-reading effects: predictions, perceptive guesses, and audience-participation moments that feel impossible. These are the pieces that get repeated at the office on Monday and texted to friends that night. For corporate clients, the mentalism segment can be themed around company values, product launches, or specific leaders. For weddings, it can be woven around the couple's story for a personal moment guests do not see coming.
Booking and logistics
Most inquiries get a reply within an hour. Travel covers the entire San Francisco Bay Area and Central Valley as standard; engagements throughout California and nationwide are welcome with a modest travel fee confirmed during the quote. Setup is roughly thirty minutes before showtime; close-up sets need no amplification, while stage shows can plug into the venue's existing PA and lighting. Full liability insurance is carried for every booking and a certificate of insurance is available on request, a standard requirement for hotel ballrooms, corporate campuses, and many wedding venues.
Why this performer
Three things matter most when hiring a magician for a high-stakes event: skill, professionalism, and the ability to read the room. Skill shows up in the work, recognized through award circuits and a 5.0 star rating across thirty independent reviews on GigSalad. Professionalism shows up in the small things: arriving early, dressing for the room, communicating cleanly with planners, and handling the inevitable last-minute change with calm. Reading the room is the secret weapon. A capable magician knows when to push the comedy and when to lean into mystery, when to extend a moment and when to keep moving, when a quiet guest is hoping to be pulled in and when they would prefer to watch.
Booking
Send a short message with the event date, location, audience size, and the format that fits: cocktail-hour walk-around, cabaret stage set, or full grand-illusion show. Availability and a tailored quote typically arrive within the hour. Whether the event is twelve guests around a dinner table or four hundred in a hotel ballroom, the goal is the same: deliver the kind of evening guests talk about on the drive home, share at the office the next day, and remember years later.
