Magic Shows

Depending on your event, Kevin can adapt to fit your needs. Read below to learn how he can best serve your purpose to make your event unforgettable.

Formal Close Up

You provide a table and chairs, and Kevin will perform a formal magic show up close with audience interaction. Unless you've seen him before, there's nothing else like it. There is no other performance situation in which you have the opportunity to sit inches away from the artist, becoming a part of the show.

Recommended for 1-40 guests.

Strolling close up

For parties, cocktail hours, mixers, and other large events, Kevin meets each group of people and performs in a casual style. Throughout the night, guests are left with impossible objects and unbelievable stories that start to spread. He brings people together and gives people stories that they will remember and talk about long after.

Recommended for more than 40 guests.

Stage

For banquets, corporate parties, and variety shows, Kevin performs a stand up show featuring his unique brand of magic. Unlike the classic conception of a stage magician, he uses no big boxes or trick props, and interacts with members of your audience rather than assistants. Using sleight of hand and psychology, he makes impossible pieces of magic play for big crowds.
