Cheap Tricks: Why Bargain Magicians Might Make Your Event Disappear

Free high fives with a purchase of a magic show.

Let me guess—you found a magician online who charges less than your lunch order at Chick-fil-A, promises to “wow the crowd,” and includes balloon animals, a magic wand, and possibly a rabbit named Carl. You’re tempted. I get it.

But before you go full abracadabra on your budget, let me pull back the curtain.

I’ve been performing professionally for over 30 years. I’ve entertained at the Magic Castle in Hollywood, corporate galas, military bases, weddings, birthday parties, and even in the middle of nowhere (shoutout to Fort Irwin). I’ve made people laugh, cry (in a good way), and question their reality—and I do it all in a purple suit.

Now, I’m not saying all affordable magicians are bad. Some are just starting out, and I respect that grind. But if your magician’s only magic trick is making your guests disappear before the party ends… you may have hired Carl the Rabbit and not the magician.

Here’s what you actually get when you book me:

• Polished, professional routines that have been tested and tuned in front of thousands

• Customized performances for your audience (kids, adults, CEOs, or a wild combo of all three)

• Peace of mind knowing I show up early, dress the part, and come fully insured (yes, even magic has insurance)

• A headline act, not a party extra

• Laughs, wonder, and moments they’ll talk about long after the cake is gone

Look, you could save a few bucks and gamble on someone whose last performance was for their cousin’s toddler and two confused dogs. Or you could invest in something unforgettable—magic that makes your guests feel like they’re part of something special.

Because when it comes to live entertainment, you don’t want “good for the price.” You want “I can’t believe what I just saw.”
