Magician and mentalist, Los Angeles
Most people think magic is about fooling someone.
I don't. The interesting part starts afterward, when people who saw the same thing remember it differently and start arguing about who has it right. The arguments on the drive home are included at no extra charge.
The work
I'm not here to show you how clever my hands are. The magic happens to the people in the room, using their choices, their memories, and their thoughts, which means the story they tell afterward is one they were in rather than one they watched.
It's built for grown-ups. Not because it's crude, but because it takes its time and assumes you're paying attention.
Performances
Choose a structured parlor show or close-up magic performed through the evening.
A shared experience
Twenty to thirty minutes, everyone watching together. The room becomes part of it, and by the end most of the impossible things have happened to people your guests came with. Suited to private parties, corporate events, receptions, and small venues.

Short routines for small groups, performed from one spot while the evening carries on. Guests come to me a few at a time, so nobody has to sit down and nothing has to stop.
Learn About Close-Up MagicAbout
I trained as an actor and spent years in front of audiences before magic took over. That background is the reason the show feels like a conversation rather than a demonstration, and the reason I have never once said “and for my next trick.”
