I rarely take the time to leave a review but wanted to shout from the rooftop how wonderful Brandon is! I was planning a 50th surprise dinner party for my husband and wanted unique entertainment. I found Brandon online and was a little nervous to book but after reading reviews I just went for it. He was the highlight of the evening and everyone is still talking about it. He made sure to include every single person at the dinner table in his act. I would say he’s AGT worthy! Professional, on time, and worth EVERY penny! Do not hesitate to book Brandon. He will transform your event from basic to the talk of the town. Thank you Brandon for making my husband’s 50th a night to remember for all of us. More...

Brandon was one of the highlights of our first big formal company event in over 3 years. I heard many people tell us how amazing his magic was, and I was fortunate to watch him on one occasion. I myself have always had a personal interest in magic, and was literally blown away by the trick he shared with me. I am so happy we decided to have Brandon be part of our event. Well worth hiring him! More...

Brandon performed at my daughter’s 16th birthday. He catered everything to what she envisioned for her and her dance friends. He showed up early to set up and spent an hour and an half making 20-25 teenage girls the “Best” balloon animals/hats/swords I’ve ever seen! The last half hour plus (he stayed later as well to fully accommodate) Brandon did incredible sleight of hand, card tricks, and a special trick customized for my daughter! Entire evening was fantastically memorable!!! Would hire Brandon again! More...

We obtained services from Brandon for our senior class event. He did his stilt walking and his magic show. He was an absolute hit. He was very interactive with the graduates, taking pictures with them, talking to them. even enjoying an Italian ice with them on a hot day when doing his stilt walking. In the magic show he kept everyone entertained and engaged no matter the age. This was the first time we used his services and will gladly do so yearly. He was a hit! More...

I have hired Brandon twice for corporate events.
I highly recommend him due to his professionalism, promptness, pricing, and how engaging his acts are.
I added the balloon twisting to his routine this last time, and it was an unbelievable success at our Holiday Luncheon!
Thank you, Brandon!

If you’re looking for a magician for your event that is extremely talented, fun, and will leave you and your guests amazed by his tricks, you should hire Brandon. I’ve hired Brandon to perform strolling magic two years in a row at a masquerade party and have hired him again for this years party. Both of his performances were unique, he has so many tricks up his sleeves! I could hear the excitement from the guests as they interacted with Brandon throughout the evening and heard from many of them for days after the party how much fun they had with him. My event was a few months back and I’m still thinking about his last trick he performed and have no clue how he possibly did it!?! In addition to his talent, he is very professional and on top of everything leading up to the event, you won’t have to worry about a thing. Brandon is my number one choice for a magician and I would highly recommend you hire him, you will not be disappointed! Brandon is truly magical. More...

I hired Brandon to perform as a strolling magician at our 1st Annual Gala fundraiser "An Elegant Affair" last Saturday night. Brandon was absolutely amazing! He truly astounded our guests with his tricks.....including myself when he made the card I was holding appear in a locked box across the room! I am still dumbfounded by that trick! He has this nice easygoing manner and was great to work with. If you are looking for entertainment for your event, look no farther than Brandon. You won't be sorry! More...

You'll like Brandon the minute you meet him. He's friendly, personable and super pleasant. He was early to my event, he smiled and won every heart in the place. He is skilled in his craft and moved around the room with ease. My table could hardly wait until he got to us - laughing and giggling from other tables was so enticing. He was a total delight!

Great fun! Brandon entertained at our pool party and our guests had a ball. He managed to engage everyone as he mingled around the party. Everyone was impressed and were talking about his tricks long after the party ended. I have hired magicians in the past and Brandon is among the best. He was polished, professional and very accommodating. I highly recommend Brandon. More...

Brandon is fantastic! I hired Brandon to perform strolling magic at a masquerade party and it was an excellent decision. He is extremely talented and you can tell he has a lot of fun performing. His communication leading up to the event was first-rate and he was prompt on the day of the party. He even brought his own mask to the masquerade and adapted to the party right away. Our guests had such an amazing evening with Brandon, you always could tell when he just finished a trick by groups of people screaming in amazement throughout the night. He interacted with all of the guests who were still mind blown days later, especially by this one trick (when you hire him you’ll know which one I’m referring to). I highly recommend hiring Brandon if you are in search of an unique, interactive experience at your next party! More...

My husband and I were married on March 10th, 2018 and we decided to have a magician for our cocktail hour. Brandon was by far incredible. He showed up and jumped right into it and making our guests blow their minds! Our guests cant stop talking about Brandon even today! He was professional and an outstanding magician! The guests are still trying to figure out how he did things. Brandon went above and beyond and he was absolutely perfect for our crowd. If you want fun and unique entertainment for your cocktail hour, hire Brandon now!! More...
How long have you been interested in magic?
I have always had an interest in magic as a kid. Once I started my first job at 15 I then began visiting the magic shop more and learning about my craft. In college I started working in a magic shop and eventually became the house entertainer and part owner.
Take us through your show – what can we expect?
The show is tailored to your needs. Whether it is a large stage that needs to look full with decorative props or an intimate gathering I tailor my performance to meet it. I always try to be a professional and work with top quality equipment and effects. You won't see me cutting corners to save a few dollars. I've always felt you get what you pay for and not only do I live by that when selecting items for my show I also try to live up to that for my clients and give them the best show they have seen for their money.
What do you love most about your job?
The best thing about my job is to be able to look out on a crowd and see smiling faces, laughter, or a sense of wonder and know that I helped to bring that to them.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I've always had a love of magic and if you can work at doing something you love, it will never seem like work.
Why should our clients choose you?
I listen to my clients and try to give them exactly what they are looking for. I go above and beyond to create a great experience. With over 22 years of performing under my belt I have the knowledge and expertise to put together amazing entertainment for any occasion.
Magician
In my years as an active performer and student of the magical arts, I have accumulated a wide and varied repertoire to suit almost any performing situation. I can provide you with either or both of the following:
* Close-up walk-around entertainment, magic performed while mingling with the audience, performing for small groups. This approach maximizes entertainment and audience participation without compromising the flow of the event. The informal nature of this type of magic ensures that guests can mingle with each other, enjoy some entertainment or both. Additionally it maximizes entertainment and audience participation. Because close-up magic doesn't have any special requirements, it works well in any situation where you have a group of people you wish to entertain.
* Platform/Stage, a stage show that can entertain any group--large or small--as a whole. Programs can last anywhere from 20 minutes to over one hour depending on your requirements. While the stage shows are, by nature, not as interactive as close-up magic I have worked hard to ensure that audience involvement is still maximized. We can also create a more custom show, depending on your needs. Platform/Stage magic is ideal if you want the entertainment to be more of a 'feature'.
Both options (together and separate) have been very successful in all of the events where I have entertained. The most popular approach has been to begin the evening mingling with your guests; performing close-up magic for small groups during the cocktail hour and/or during dinner. Spending a few minutes performing up-close for your guests ensures they will be talking about the party for weeks and remember it always. It also sets a very high expectation for an after-dinner show should you decide to combine the two.
Stilt Walker
I use the same professional grade Bigfoot stilts that the entertainers at the theme parks use; they do not make distracting rattling noises like drywall stilts do. I have many different costumes and can often theme them to your event. If there is a specialty costume that you would require specific to your event that is out of the norm I can get one created at an additional cost which would be determined by the costume needs. I also have the option of adding balloon twisting to my stilt walking for extra excitement.
If you would like a reference feel free to contact Ali Yocca with Boom Marketing, ali@consultboom.com or 407-443-6110, who hires me for stilt walking at all the holiday events for Baldwin Park
If it helps, I received the following feedback after a similar event:
"Brandon dressed up in red, white, and blue and walked on stilts handing out 3D glasses for us at a 4th of July event in Baldwin Park. He is very professional! We still have customers talking about him. If you want a great professional entertainer, choose this guy!!" - Dustin B. Victoria Jewelers
Balloon Twister
My balloons aren't just simple one balloon animals either. I make large multiballoon creations including a life size monkey in a palm tree, a three foot giraffe hat, super heroes, princesses, and many other popular cartoon characters. I can also add the additional perk of twisting balloons while stilt walking, similar to the entertainers at Margaritaville in Universal Studios. If you have a large event I also have additional twisters available to speed up the lines.
If it helps, I received the following feedback after a similar event:
"Brandon twisted for me at a large community festival and did a FANTASTIC job. He entertained the long line of kids waiting for his balloon creations while on stilts. His presence at the event definitely added some excitement, and our guests had a great time! From a planners perspective, I also want to complement his professionalism. He is very easy to work with, communicates clearly, shows up on time and is generally very pleasant. I can't ask for much more when hiring vendors!" -Brett Blake, Boom Marketing and Entertainment
