When the DJ drops the beat, the magician pulls a rabbit out of his hat, the clown tries to juggle vinyl records, and the violinist...well, he's trying to survive!

I’ve been an event and wedding coordinator for over 12 years, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that the right talent can make or break an event. Whether I’m looking for a magician to spark wonder or a musician to set the perfect tone, I follow this simple 4-step process to find the best.

 

Step 1: Evaluate

First impressions count. I look at their website, promo videos, and social media presence. A clean, professional brand tells me they take their craft seriously, they’re not just a hobbyist—and they know how to present themselves to a crowd. Next step the phone call, text, email or social media inquiry.

 

Step 2: Gauge Professionalism

Clear, timely communication is everything. I pay close attention to how quickly a vendor responds, how organized they are, and whether they take the time to truly understand the event. A smooth process behind the scenes almost always translates to a stress-free performance on the big day. Your day-of team plays a huge role in how seamless everything runs—especially if you don’t have a planner or coordinator. Without someone managing the behind-the-scenes details, choosing reliable, proactive vendors becomes even more crucial

 

Step 3: Look for Versatility & Experience

Great performers read a room. Whether it’s background jazz for a cocktail hour or close-up magic at a corporate mixer, they should know when to dial it up—or tone it down. Looking over other performance reviews and pictures will give me a sense of how the crowd is going to react whether it’s an intimate wedding, a high-energy corporate party, or a family-friendly celebration. A true professional knows how to do this and will make your event, your whole day, your reputation…shine!

 

Step 4: Trust the Vibe

There’s always that “something extra.” Maybe it’s their energy, their personability, or a 5-star review that makes me lean in. If the vibe checks out…Then seal the deal!

 

After 12+ years in the industry, this process helps me choose performers who elevate every experience. Sign the contract and secure your date because performers that make it all the way through the 4 steps will get booked immediately. Don’t wait and be left with second best. At the end of the day, I’m not just hiring talent—I’m curating moments that people remember.

 

Bonus Tip: Booking The Man in The Purple Suit, Jonathan Molo, is a must for any event. Having a magician at a wedding—especially during cocktail hour—is pure genius. It keeps guests engaged, breaks the ice, and adds an unforgettable touch of wonder. And at a corporate mixer? Even better. Suddenly, conversations don’t start with “How was your flight?”—they start with“How did he do that?” Now that’s next-level event magic.

When your brain says ‘logic,’ but the magician says ‘nope.’

Let’s be real.


Every company party starts with good intentions:

• Boost morale!

• Build culture!

• Celebrate Janet from accounting’s 37 years of punctuality!


But then it happens.

You rent a banquet hall. Order the same chicken from last year. Cue up a DJ who looks mildly interested in your playlist… and by 8:45 PM, Todd from sales is requesting Pitbull, and everyone’s wondering if it’s too early to sneak out.


There has to be a better way.


Enter: a magician.

(Not the top-hat kind who pulls rabbits—unless you’re into that. I don’t judge.)


I’m talking about a magician who reads minds, makes borrowed rings reappear in sealed gumballs, and gets your CEO to laugh harder than he did when you asked for a raise.


And not just any magician—I’m talking about me.


I’ve performed at the world-famous Magic Castle in Hollywood more than 10 times, recently won the 2025 Strolling Showdown (a fast-paced, 90-minute competition with 22 magicians and 30 tables), and have amazed companies like Hilton, Lululemon, and Warner Music Group with unforgettable, customized magic experiences.


Here’s why magic is the party upgrade you didn’t know you needed:



1. Magic Gets People Talking (Without Needing Liquid Courage)


Forget awkward small talk. When I make someone’s signed card appear inside a sealed envelope in their boss’s pocket—boom. Ice = broken.

Now people are bonding, laughing, taking selfies… and Janet is finally letting loose.



2. Magic Doesn’t Compete with the Music. It Compliments It.


DJs bring the beat. I bring the “Wait… HOW?!”

While your DJ is setting the vibe, I stroll the room doing impossible things inches from people’s faces. It’s interactive, engaging, and way more memorable than another 2007 throwback playlist.



3. It Makes You Look Like a Genius


Let’s be honest. If you’re planning the party, you’ll get credit for everything awesome—and blame for everything awkward.

So when your coworkers can’t stop raving about “the magician who made someone’s watch vanish and reappear under a wine glass,” you get to say:

“Yeah, I booked him. No big deal.”


Legendary.



4. It’s the One Thing Everyone Will Remember


No one ever says, “Remember that amazing DJ fade into Ed Sheeran?”

But they WILL say, “Remember when Karen screamed because her ring ended up inside a sealed lemon?!”


(Yes, Karen screamed. Yes, I have the video. No, she still hasn’t forgiven me.)



So… if you’re planning a holiday party, team celebration, product launch, or “mandatory fun” event and want something that’s actually, well, fun


Let’s talk.

Because while music sets the mood, magic makes the memory.


And your DJ doesn’t do card tricks.

When your magic is so strong, even the guy on FaceTime is freaking out!

Why settle for a budget magician when you can have a magical maestro? Think of it this way: you wouldn’t trade a front-row seat at a blockbuster movie for a grainy bootleg, would you? Hiring me is like opting for the VIP experience of magic.

• Professional Excellence: My performances are polished, engaging, and tailored to captivate any audience.

• Personalized Touch: Each show is uniquely crafted to fit the vibe and theme of your event.

• Proven Track Record: I’ve been called “the best magician they’ve ever seen” by countless delighted guests.


Investing in quality magic means you’re getting more than just tricks; you’re getting an unforgettable experience that will have your guests talking long after the curtain falls. So, let’s make your event truly magical!
