Strolling magic as guests arrive
Close-up magic performed at arm's length while people gather and drink. It mixes the room, gives strangers something to talk about, and makes the first hour feel like the party already started.
Private events, NYC and the Hamptons
A private partynobody can explain.
I am a magician and mentalist based in New York, performing at milestone birthdays, engagement and wedding weekend events, dinner parties, townhouse and penthouse gatherings, and Hamptons weekends.
Why me
Small rooms are where this works best.
A private party is the hardest room to fool and the best one to play. Everyone is close, nobody is anonymous, and the reactions cannot be faked. That is exactly the setting I build my material for.
I have designed illusions for Netflix, performed on Good Morning America, and worked private rooms full of people who are certain they cannot be fooled. Before your event I plan the flow with the host: timing, where people will be standing, and the one moment the night should be remembered for.
Formats
Three ways I fit into your night.
A seated show after dinner
A mentalism set performed in the living room, the dining room, or wherever everyone naturally ends up. Intimate, funny, and specific enough that people forget they are watching a performance.
Moments built around the guest of honor
I write custom pieces around the birthday, the couple, or the family story everyone in the room already knows. It reads less like a trick and more like the night was made for them.

“His whole set was beyond entertaining and completely left every last one of us in awe. We had a blast and made some core memories because of it.”
Questions
What hosts usually ask.
- What kinds of private events do you perform at?
- Milestone birthdays, engagement parties and wedding weekend events, dinner parties, townhouse and penthouse gatherings, and Hamptons weekends. If people are in a room together and the host wants the night to be memorable, the work translates.
- How intimate can the group be?
- Ten people around a dinner table is one of my favorite settings. Close-up magic was built for that distance, and small groups let me tailor almost everything to the people sitting there. I also handle a hundred plus guests spread across a house.
- Do you need a stage, sound, or lighting?
- Usually none of it. Strolling and table side work needs nothing but the room you already have. For a seated show in a larger space I like a spot where everyone can see me and a microphone if the room runs loud.
- Can the performance be built around the guest of honor?
- Yes, and it is the piece people remember. Give me a few details about the birthday, the couple, or the family and I write moments that only make sense in that room. Done well, it lands somewhere between a magic trick and a toast.
- Do you travel outside New York City?
- Regularly. The Hamptons, Westchester, Connecticut, and New Jersey are routine, and I travel nationally for the right event. Send the location with your date and I will tell you exactly what it takes to make it work.
