About Me
I’m a New York magician currently performing my residency at the Red Rabbit Club in NYC’s Meatpacking District, where I've performed alongside music stars like 50 Cent, Travis Scott, and Lil Pump.
My magic has appeared at events like Z100's Jingle Ball and Marky Ramone's Holiday Concert, and I’ve entertained celebrities like John Travolta and Neil Patrick Harris.
One of my viral videos even became the #1 trending video on YouTube and the top post on Reddit in just 24 hours. My work has been featured on TBS, ABC, and The SyFy Channel.

Can I see videos of the magicians before hiring?
Once you're connected with one of our magicians, you can discuss magic performance videos and testimonials and even jump on Zoom to preview their magic. For some events, magicians will be happy to travel to you so you can see some magic ahead of the big day.
