I bring a headline level magic and mentalism experience to corporate events: client dinners, holiday parties, product launches, conference receptions, and team nights. Based in New York, booking nationwide.
Why me
I perform for people whose job is to notice things. Close-up and personal, in rooms where expectations are high and skepticism is higher, which is exactly where magic works best.
I have designed illusions for Netflix, performed on Good Morning America, and worked rooms for finance, tech, fashion, and hospitality clients. Whatever the format, I plan the night with your team first: run time, room shape, sound, and the one moment you want people to remember on Monday morning.

See it first
Most entertainers ask you to trust a showreel. I'd rather you trust your own eyes. I perform every weekend at Moxy Chelsea, my show, An Evening of Impossible Things, and event planners are welcome to come watch before committing to anything. Buy a ticket, bring the boss, sit close enough to check my sleeves. If the room doesn't convince you, the invoice never has to exist.
Formats
Close-up magic performed at arm's length while your guests mingle. It breaks the ice faster than any seating chart, and it gives people something to talk about for the rest of the night. This is most of my hundred-odd nights a year: strangers at table six suddenly have something to talk about, and your event is the reason.
A tight stage mentalism set built for the room you are actually in. Forty five minutes that hold a ballroom, land the laughs, and end on a moment nobody in the audience can explain. The full set runs 45 minutes and holds a room of 850, my largest sales kickoff so far, as easily as it holds twelve. No volunteers humiliated. Executives included.
I write custom pieces around the company, the product, or the person being celebrated. Your launch message, your milestone, your CEO's name in a place it has no business being. When Netflix brought me in for the Thursday Murder Club cast-and-crew dinner at Soho House, I built a mentalism murder mystery for twenty-five people. It ended with a custom reveal and a standing ovation led by Chris Columbus, Helen Mirren, and Pierce Brosnan. If your product can disappear, reappear, or read your CEO's mind, we should talk.

Pricing
Every event gets a custom quote, but the quote isn't a mystery. Four things move the number: the date (December Saturdays go first and cost more), the format (strolling, stage show, or both), the audience size, and whether you want something designed just for you, a custom illusion takes real build time. What doesn't move the number: asking questions. Tell me the date, the room, and the headcount, and you'll have a straight answer within 48 hours, usually the same day.
