About

I tailor my act to the needs of the client. I don't perform the same things the same way for all occasions, with special material better suited to the sorts of event at which I perform.

My magic fills spaces from small back rooms to a full stage. While I perform close-up magic and what you might have heard of as "mentalism", what I really call my specialty is using magic to augment an event, not dominate it.

You want to hire a magician for your private event because magic makes parties more fun. Any magician can do tricks at a party, but I know as much about how parties work as I do about card magic and mind-reading.

I spent years perfecting my craft as a magician, but I spent just as much time learning how a large event like a wedding is organized.

Your guests are there to socialize and have a good time. I keep them from noticing when the kitchen is behind some other example of Murphy's law. I'll do something special for your VIPs, guests with disabilities or impairments like deafness that could mean they won't experience magic like everyone else does.

I'm there to improve the party, not BE the party. Whether that means inviting some people away from an over-crowded bar, or distracting a drunk guest who is hitting on your hired help, or introducing wallflowers with an icebreaker they will never forget, I'm here to make your guests happy. I'm not a budget magician, but I can assure you that if you hire me, you will get what you pay for.

A quick note about Covid-19:

From the beginning of the pandemic in New York, I had to change my act to suit social distancing norms and the inability for people to see my mouth due to the presence of a mask(it helps some people to understand if they are hard of hearing).

My demo reel was made in 2019. In July of 2020, when the virus was around but people were still having cautious gatherings with social distancing and masks, I performed at a party where I was told everyone would be masked and social distancing. They were not. Bear in mind, this is long before the vaccine, but there were overflow trailers at the morgue down the street from me in Manhattan. I went ahead with my "safe" act, and as a result, I got my one bad review.

TLDR: if there's an uptick in infections, I'm going to stick by the medical guidelines for my show, to keep it safe. Please respect that.
