I hired George for a company event several weeks ago and we're STILL talking about him. He was absolutely phenomenal. So incredibly talented. The real deal. He was also extremely professional - great communication skills, a natural with people, humble yet confident. I can't recommend him highly enough. More...

Wow! There are no words for how incredible George was. He joined us for my husband's surprise 50th birthday party several weeks ago and our guests (and my husband and I) are still talking about him. He was incredibly professional from beginning to end. I would highly recommend him for any type of event - corporate or private parties alike! More...

Words cannot express how impressed I was with George! Great communication leading up to the event (kind and flexible), and then when it was time to see the magic my jaw was on the floor. So happy we booked him for our wedding cocktail hour! Honestly it was probably my favorite thing we did. I seriously can’t stop thinking about his tricks. The next morning, the first thought I had was “How?!?!” We’re hoping to throw another party, and have George again because I want to see more! Thanks so much George! 🙏 More...

How long have you been interested in magic?
George was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan and began his magic endeavors at 11 years old when he saw it being performed in a YouTube video for the first time. The video strongly piqued his curiosity about magic and he started to spend hours every day learning and practicing.
His interest in magic lasted about 6 months before he lost it and stopped performing completely. He then went back to a previous interest, soccer. George played competitively for 6 years which led him to be recruited to play at a University in Chicago, Illinois with the hopes of one day playing professionally. But, George’s hopes were lost in the Spring of 2017 as he quit the team shortly after his Freshman season because of a physical issue involving his feet. Because of this issue, he could no longer play at his best and he lost his passion for the sport.
After George’s soccer career ended, he started to dabble in magic again before he eventually found himself practicing more and more as each day passed. His love and passion for magic was eventually reignited (as were his ambitions to perform it professionally) and during the summer going into his Junior year of college, George had his first professional gig of his career.
Seven years later and the Chicago based 26 year old has become a renowned magician, often regarded as one of the best in the country.
Take us through your show – what can we expect?
You can expect George going around the event space performing close up magic for groups of people rather than a formal stage performance where everyone is watching at the same time. Everything is very interactive. He specializes in card magic and mentalism but does a few things outside of those categories as well.
What do you love most about your job?
What George values the most about magic is how it has allowed him to interact with so many diverse groups of people. Magic is for everybody regardless of race, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, financial status, political beliefs, etc - there’s no divide. George thought that was important to show the world. So in 2019, he started a photo series he called “magic unites everybody” (abbreviated m.u.e). It showcased audiences he has performed for both on the street and at professional gigs. Since then, “m.u.e” has also become his mantra and mission statement. He even got a logo created for it which is now tattooed on the inside of his right wrist and is featured on the back of his signature hat. George has done 483 professional gigs since 2021, the year he started performing magic full time. But there has easily been over 1,000 “m.u.e” photos taken from all over the country since it’s inception in 2019.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I knew in high school that I didn't want to work for anybody so starting my own business was really the only option I had. But when I knew I wanted to pursue magic professionally, that coincided with my goals of being my own boss perfectly.

Here is a review George has received before (you can find this one and all his other reviews on his google review page. Google "George Stanton Magic"):
"George did an absolutely phenomenal job at our event! Our party consisted of 30+ adults in their mid thirties and not a single person was disappointed with George’s act. In fact, every single person in our party was astonished and shocked in regards to how well George performed. Dare I say his magic tricks were BETTER than some of David Blaine’s! George has a very cool and collected presence and he’s destined to become a major talent in the entertainment industry. While he was a tad pricey than other acts in the Chicagoland area, I would spend the money again in a heartbeat. His performance was worth every penny and then some. Don’t hesitate, hire George for your next event!"
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
As a result of the 2020 Pandemic, George developed a virtual show that is done over Zoom allowing him to take his talents to a global scale and entertain audiences all over the world. The virtual show is completely interactive and aims to provide the same sort of intimacy and experience as an in person performance would. However, because we have moved away from COVID protocols and George does not get any requests for virtual shows anymore, he is currently no longer doing them.
