I offer elegant entertainment, either "walk-around" magic, mingling with your guests, or a "stand-up" magic show in front of your whole group. My performances combine subtle comedy and strong magic - geared toward adults rather than children.

Cibini was great to work with. His up close, walk around magic astonished all. He was professional, yet extremely personable. Truly a pleasure to see him perform. More...

Magician
Cibini was truly talented, very entertaining and a professional. He entertained a party of 10 at our home on NYE and my guests are still wondering how he pulled off all of his tricks! He was professional, a good communicator and on time. More...
JSI
A magical evening to remember. Words cannot explain how awesome of an experience we had with this magician. Not only was he professional from the beginning to the end, but he truly enjoyed performing. Very talented and likeable guy: he will leave you hungry for more! More...
How long have you been interested in magic?
I began performing magic after the late Christian the Magician came to my school and changed his white gloves into fluttering doves in mid-air. My first performances relied on trial and error, but my family and friends have been supportive enough for me to pursue this hobby throughout my childhood and teens. The rest is history!
Take us through your show – what can we expect?
I combine subtle humor with strong magic, and treat all audience members with respect. I strive to leave audiences with a memorable experience, and have received great feedback! Many of my effects are original, and are not performed by other magicians - I offer a unique experience.
What do you love most about your job?
I distract people from their day to day problems, albeit for a short time, and give them something to look forward to. To be able to give adults a sense of wonder and joy is quite satisfying.
What inspired you to start your own business?
As I began performing more and more, I kept on getting more comments along the line of "you should quit your job and do this full time!", " do you do paid shows?", and "why haven't I seen you on America's Got Talent?" This encouraged me to seek out my first paid gig - a company holiday party. I was extremely nervous, I must admit, but I survived the ordeal (as did the company and its guests). I decided to try again, and I gained more confidence. Throughout the years, I also developed a network of trusted friends in magic who can always jump in to help if I am unavailable or if they have a different skill set. (For example, I rarely perform children's shows, but I can always find a suitable performer).
Why should our clients choose you?
From learning to play a client's favorite show-tune on the recorder and creating a trick based on that theme, to researching a difficult illusion, recruiting an assistant, and performing it flawlessly at another client's event, I always offer what the customer needs, and a lot more!
Magic Show (adults)
An interactive show best suited for adults or older children, merging comedy and strong magic and mentalism effects. The venue can be your living room, your company's conference room, an events hall, or even outdoors, weather permitting.
Close-Up Magic Show (table)
An interactive show best suited for adults or older children, merging comedy and strong magic and mentalism effects. The performer is seated at the head of the host's table, and the guests are seated at the same table, witnessing the wonder up close. This is best suited to a group of 15 or fewer people. Shows can range anywhere from 10 minutes (e.g., while the band takes a break) to about 50 minutes (a full length feature show).
Mentalism Show
An interactive experience showcasing the wonders and powers of the human mind. This is not hypnosis, nor a lecture, it is a fun-filled show combining humor and impossible feats of mental acuity from the performer (demonstrating superior memory skills, reading body language, finding objects hidden by the audience, etc.) Shows can be tailored to the suits of the client, and usually range from 15 minute intermission shows to 40-50 minute full length shows.
Strolling (walk-around) magic
The performer mingles with the crowd at your corporate event, wedding, house party, etc., socializing with the guests and entertaining them with magic, mentalism, and humor in small groups at a time. There is no set repertoire for each group, but the performer generally spends a few minutes with each receptive group, and is often requested to return with with more material for the same people. Performances are set by the duration of the event, the crowd size, and individual interactions.
Magic Booth
The performer sets up a table or counter at your event, and performs for those walking by who are interested and stop to see strong magic tricks. There is no set show, instead there are short performances for individuals and small groups as they stop by.
