My specialty is close-up strolling magic; many times the magic happens in the spectator's hands!
I am the 2017 winner of the Oakland Magic Circle Close Up Competition and other competitions. In addition to being a magician member of The Magic Castle of Hollywood, I am also a member of The International Brotherhood of Magicians and The Society of American Magicians.
My magic will delight your audience.

He was very good! We had 5 tables and he went to each one, took his time and surprised everyone with his sleight of hand magic! We loved him!

Doug came to our 7 year old’s birthday party. He was excellent with kids magic, and with all the kid’s questions. He was very easy to work with and schedule.

Magic by Doug was FANTASTIC!!
He was a pro and handled the tough crowd with experience and ease. He hooked this group of 20 smartypants sixth grade boys right from the beginning.
He blew their minds! His tricks had layers - it started out one way and the boys thought they could figure it out, then he'd take the trick to the next level, and some boys were still suspect, then the final part of the trick just dazzled and dumbfounded even the toughest of the crowd. Doug was professional, fun, funny, kind, and super cool!

Magician
He is very personable and was asked to go table to table to entertain at a holiday lunch. His tricks were very skillful especially the signed playing card which ended up in a small box. Do request that trick!

How long have you been interested in magic?
I became interested in magic over 25 years ago. What started as a birthday present from my brother has blossomed into a life-long path of learning and sharing magic.
Take us through your show – what can we expect?
I approach your guests with an opening magical effect and then make certain that they are ready for the rest of the show. This is never forced upon them. We then move through several routines that will leave your guests with a memorable experience.
What do you love most about your job?
What I enjoy most is making people happy. When you take people on a magical journey, they can forget reality and believe in the impossible.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I have been inspired by my mentors; I am fortunate to have had some wonderful teachers.
Why should our clients choose you?
This is proven entertainment that is of universal appeal. Your guests will be delighted with a magical experience.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I am fully vaccinated and boosted. If I feel ill, I will advise the client.
Magical Entertainment
I primarily perform strolling, close-up magic. This is very effective for events where the guests are mingling. It provides fun, wonder-filled entertainment without the need to add staging etc.
Stage shows for both adults and children are also available by inquiry.
