For our New Years Eve party we hoped for an entertainer who could mingle in the crowd creating moments of delight and surprise. Mark delivered all that and much more, with a warm and approachable persona that put everyone at ease. And then left everyone dumbfounded again and again with an amazing variety of magic! More...

I held a corporate party and hired Mark to make the evening more memorable for the guests. He was outstanding! He did a wonderful job connecting with each person during dinner, roaming around and entertaining everyone with tricks and jokes. He has a great sense of humor! Then we all gathered for a show together and Mark did a performance that included amazing magic and mentalism. Some of us discussed the tricks the next day and we definitely couldn't figure them out - so good! More...

Mark is a great magician. He came and did close up magic for my wife's birthday party. He communicated well over phone and text prior to the event, and he was quick to respond to any questions I had. He knew my young children would be at the party, and he made sure to bring some magic activities for them to do as well. We started in a house, and then Mark accompanied us on a party bus. It was not an easy location for magic with dim lighting and bumpy roads, but Mark was a trooper, and he made it work. Highlight of the night! More...

You need an entertainer with a sense of humor. Look no further. Mark just entertained us at All India Cafe in Glendale. The audience was ages 7-94. Everyone was in agreement that he was awesome. His feats of magic were fun, challenging, and full of excitement. If you're looking for a professional whose goal is only to amuse and entertain you with his craft of magic, he is your go to act. Thank you Mark More...

Mark was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Exactly the kind of professional I needed for my event. He is creative, responsive, consistent, and dependable.
I also appreciate the way he respectfully advises without telling you what to do.

Mark Paskell was hired to perform as the headline act for the City of Santa Fe Springs Halloween Carnival. From the start of the show to the final act, he was a joy to watch and had the attention of the audience.
His attention to detail and audience interaction were amazing.
Mr. Paskell was a consummate professional in all my interactions with him. He thoroughly addressed questions raised by City staff, including the fire marshal to ensure his show would be safe. In the end, Mr. Paskell crafted a presentation that made this community event one that would remembered for a long time.
Bottom line: I wholeheartedly recommend Mark Paskell for adding a "magic touch" to your next special event.

Mark Paskell was mind blowing!
It was a contemporary performance of magic and mentalism that left my small group of family and friends awestruck.

His acts were so engaging and had the audience shrieking and laughing and throwing up their hands. ☺️
His acts were fresh and he even added a spin to some classic tricks. He is a high caliber magician and a regular performer at the Magic castle. He was punctual, professional and worth the investment.
Mark is meticulous about his planning and I appreciate that about him. He worked well with all my requirements and I would love to work with him again. My guests were talking about his performance for days after the event. 😊

How long have you been interested in magic?
At the age of 7 Mark became fascinated with the art of magic. In the following years he devoured every magic book at his local library, and performed countless shows for friends, neighbors and even at Ford Motor Company where his father worked.
He turned professional at the age of 15, and expanded his skills beyond conjuring to include juggling, mime, clowning and other variety arts. This dedicated development of skills and expertise led to Mark being offered a job in the city of lights — Las Vegas — when he was 20.
Following his time in Vegas, Mark continued to expand his repertoire as he worked across the USA, entertaining both private and corporate clients. Standouts include Steven Spielberg, Brain Grazer, John Travolta, Sam Raimi, Jamie Lee Curtis and Sylvester Stallone, while his corporate client list includes ABC, Health Net, Walt Disney Studios, Amtrak, Shell Oil and many Fortune 500 companies.
Mark is proud to have assisted David Copperfield in his development of Project Magic, a teaching program for handicapped children and adults.
Internationally, Mark has toured with his show through China, Japan, Mexico, Trinidad and various parts of Europe.
In addition to performing, Mark consults, supervises and assists on motion pictures and television shows that need magic, circus arts or practical special effects. He has taught actors to shoot fire from their hands or make a purse float; once he made the entire cast of a theatre show disappear in a puff of smoke! Additionally, Mark has advised Hollywood screenwriters who want accurate depictions of magic and magicians in their screenplays.
Mark has dedicated his life to this age-old art form. Give him a call and he will quickly demonstrate how he will create something special exclusively for you! 310-399-2253 310-463-2366 (cell for texts)
