Georgia Leon
Event Entertainment
Al was a hit at our company event and he did an amazing job at including everyone during our cocktail hour in addition to his actual act. Al is very professional and fun! He incorporated magic tricks and comedy seamlessly. My co-workers and I are still raving about his performance. Would highly recommend him for your team or corporate event!! Thanks again Al! – Georgia, Nancy & Monica More...

Magician
I was fantastic to have Al Skinner be our magician. He was not only a great magician but a great comedian. I couldn't have been more pleased.
The feed back from our guests were more than satisfied.
Thank you again, Jean

Magic & Comedy Show
Al's one man magic and comedy show, built for a corporate audience.
It starts fast, with routines clever enough that people lean in, and then funny enough that they fall back in their chairs. There is a lot of audience participation, and the magic word is your group's name, said over and over all night.
Al is also a mentalist. Mind reading, predictions, and telling a guest what they are thinking of. It is the part a technical audience talks about longest, and it can run inside the show or stand on its own.
Around 45 minutes, and it works for anything from 40 people to a full ballroom. Al provides the show. The venue provides the sound.
Best for holiday parties, awards nights, conference dinners and sales meetings, where everyone is seated and facing one way.
Mingling Magic
Interactive sleight of hand, done right under people's noses, table to table or group to group.
This is the perfect ice breaker. Al works the room while people are arriving or eating, gets guests talking to each other rather than checking their phones, and creates the energy before anyone has to stand at a microphone.
It is the thing guests are still describing at breakfast the next morning.
Around 60 to 90 minutes. Ideal for cocktail hours, receptions, trade show booths, client dinners and the awkward first half hour of any party.
Mind Reading and Mentalism
Al reads minds. Not a card trick, and nothing spooky.
He will tell a guest what they are thinking of, predict an answer the room chooses at random, and do it in a way that leaves a technical audience genuinely stuck. For a group that prides itself on figuring things out, that is the most fun they will have all night.
Corporate audiences ask for this specifically, and it works beautifully alongside the comedy magic or entirely on its own.
Best for conferences, sales kickoffs, executive dinners and any room full of people who think they cannot be fooled.
