Braden’s show was one of the most fun nights I’ve had in a long time! He was absolutely hilarious and perfectly matched the energy of the bachelorette party. The bride had dreamed of having a magician at her party for years, and Braden completely exceeded expectations. I truly couldn’t recommend him enough! If you’re considering hiring a magician for your next party, book Braden! You won’t regret it! More...

We hired Braden for our recent work conference, and he was hands-down a highlight of the entire event!It is always a bit of a gamble finding entertainment that strikes the right balance for a professional audience, but Braden nailed it effortlessly. Here is why he is a must-hire:* **Perfectly Appropriate:** He tailored his set beautifully for a corporate crowd. It was clean, professional, and inclusive, while still being wonderfully engaging and edgy enough to keep everyone hooked.* **Mind-Blowing Magic:** Aside from the laughs, his magic left us completely baffled. The crowd work was fantastic, and he had everyone leaning in.Hours after the show ended, our team was still laughing and trying to figure out how he pulled off his illusions. If you want an entertainer who will leave your team laughing, talking, and thoroughly entertained, Braden is your guy!We cannot recommend him highly enough! 10/10! More...

Braden Carlisle was an absolute highlight of our conference! Performing for a room filled primarily with women, he had everyone completely engaged from start to finish. We were left stunned, amazed, and wondering, "How did he do that?!" His talent, charisma, and ability to connect with the audience made for an unforgettable experience. The room was filled with laughter, gasps, and nonstop conversation long after the show ended. If you're looking for entertainment that will leave your guests in total awe, Braden is the one to book. Highly recommend! More...

We hired Braden for our annual summer conference evening entertainment. Braden was amazing to work with and our attendees loved the show! We had around 450 attendees so the addition of the roving magic during the reception hour was a fantastic addition to the evening show. The feedback has been 5 star and I would highly recommend Braden for your next corporate event! More...

We hired Braden to work at our corporate event (professional conference dinner entertainment for 200-300) and it was so much fun! They started with wandering magic, interacting with guests face to face during happy hour, then the stage show. It was so much fun to hear the chatter in the room change from "wait, we're having a magic show?" to "OMG DID YOU SEE THE MAGIC SHOW!?!" I won't give any spoilers, but the finale was still being talked about during work sessions the next day. More...

How long have you been interested in magic?
About 12 years. I got into magic while doing theater in high school. The costume shop we rented from had a magic counter, and while I was being fitted for a costume for Beauty and the Beast, I bought a coin trick. I never looked back. Today I'm a full-time magician and comedy entertainer based in Denver, Colorado, performing for families, schools, and companies across the state and the country.
Take us through your show – what can we expect?
Expect to laugh harder than you ever thought possible at a magic show. My show is fun, high-energy, interactive, and 100% clean, and the audience is involved from the minute it starts.
- Stage show: 15 to 120 minutes, with most shows running 30 to 60 minutes. Audience members help make the magic happen, and the whole room is part of the fun.
- Strolling magic: I mingle with your guests and perform sleight-of-hand right in their hands. It's perfect for cocktail hours, receptions, and parties.
- Close-up magic: a seated, interactive show for groups of under 30.
For families, kids laugh nonstop and adults are just as entertained, from age 4 to 104. For corporate events, I offer Strolling Magic, a Stage Show, or The Full Experience, which combines both. I bring my own sound system and everything the show needs. Strolling magic or a full show, either one is amazing.
What do you love most about your job?
My mission is to bring a million smiles. I love that my actual job is bringing people genuine joy and laughter. That's the best part: connecting with people, whether it's a kid at a birthday party or a room full of coworkers at a holiday party.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Honestly, I didn't plan it. It just happened. I started performing about 12 years ago, and to keep doing magic, I had to start a business. There's no traditional path to becoming a professional magician. You have to forge it yourself. Six years ago I went full-time, and today I perform for families, schools, and companies across Colorado and beyond.
Why should our clients choose you?
Because the show is good, and I won't waste your time. In entertainment, you have to believe you're the best or you shouldn't be on stage, but you don't have to take my word for it:
- I've performed for Dr Pepper, Sonic, Nintendo, Lionsgate, Google, and the U.S. Olympic Weightlifting Team.
- My family show, The Boulder Magic Show, has had more than 200 performances at the Dairy Arts Center since 2018, including 78 consecutive sold-out shows.
- I have more than 140 five-star reviews on Google.
- My videos have more than half a billion views on TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram.
I've spent more than a decade refining one product: the show. We do one thing, and we do it well.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes, though live is where the show shines. I can perform virtual magic shows for remote teams, online events, and family celebrations, and I've performed a livestream for more than 10,000 viewers. For most events, I recommend booking me in person, because magic hits hardest when it's happening right in front of you.
Corporate Strolling Magic
Walk-around sleight-of-hand for cocktail hours, receptions, networking events, and holiday parties. Braden moves through your event and performs for small groups of guests, often right in their hands, giving everyone something to talk about without forced small talk. Works for about 20 to 2,000+ guests and is always clean and workplace-appropriate. Braden has performed for Dr Pepper, Sonic, Nintendo, Lionsgate, Google, and the U.S. Olympic Weightlifting Team.
Corporate Stage Show
A featured comedy magic show as the centerpiece of your holiday party, company dinner, client appreciation event, or team event. The show runs 15 to 120 minutes, with most events booking 30 to 60 minutes, and it is built around your schedule and goals. Mind-blowing magic, big laughs, and audience members as the heroes of the show. Braden brings his own sound system and everything needed, and every corporate show is clean and workplace-appropriate.
The Full Experience: Strolling Magic + Stage Show
Braden's most complete corporate package. He performs strolling magic while guests arrive and mingle, then closes the night with the stage show as the evening's main event. It's the easiest way to keep energy high from the first drink to the final applause, and a favorite for holiday parties and company celebrations across Colorado.
Wedding Magic
Strolling magic during the cocktail hour keeps guests entertained while the couple takes photos, and an optional short stage set adds a highlight to the reception. Clean, interactive, and fun for every guest, from grandparents to the flower girl. Available for weddings in Denver, along the Front Range, and in Colorado's mountain resort towns.
Private Party & Close-Up Magic
Comedy magic for adult house parties, anniversaries, milestone birthdays, and small private gatherings. Choose a seated close-up show for groups of under 30, where the magic happens inches away in your guests' own hands, or strolling magic for a mingling crowd. Big laughs, real connection, and a night your guests will talk about for years. Always 100% clean.
Birthday Party Magic Show
A high-energy comedy magic show for kids' birthday parties across Denver and Colorado. Kids laugh nonstop, adults are just as entertained, and the birthday child gets a starring moment in the show. Braden Carlisle brings his own sound system and everything the show needs, so it works anywhere, from a living-room party of 15 kids to a big backyard celebration. Interactive from start to finish and always 100% clean.
School Assembly Magic Show
Interactive comedy magic assemblies for schools across Colorado. Braden keeps a full gym or auditorium laughing and engaged from the first minute to the last, with clean, age-appropriate material and plenty of student volunteers. He served two years as the preferred magician vendor for the Boulder Valley School District, pre-approved for assemblies at any school in the district.
Library, Camp & Community Event Magic Show
Family-friendly comedy magic for public libraries, summer camps, family festivals, holiday events, and community programs throughout Colorado. The show works for every age, from 4 to 104, and scales from a small library program to a packed festival crowd. Braden has headlined The Boulder Magic Show at the Dairy Arts Center since 2018, with more than 200 performances and 78 consecutive sold-out shows.
