Mark was professional, fun, and a pleasure to work with! He was very responsive with my calls and texts, and I appreciate that he took the time to understand the needs of my event beforehand. My husband and family were amazed and delighted by his show (which was a surprise for them). My uncle exclaimed several times during Mark’s show that, “This is the best!” I highly recommend Mark for your next event or gathering. More...

Mark was so easy to work with and truly the highlight of our party. When things needed to shift he pivoted effortlessly and kept the energy just right. The guests loved him. He connected just as easily with the younger too cool for school crowd as he did with everyone else and blended right in. It was genuinely fun and such a great experience. Highly recommend. More...

The best decision I made this year. My Friendsgiving dinner was in less than 2; hours when I made the very last min decision to hire a magician. I used bark and immediately Mark reached out with a phone call. His energy & sense of humor had me sold without even seeing his magical performance. Mark showed up with his fire energy and had the whole house in the palm of his hands for the time he was there. Everyone was blown away and still talked about him for days after. We love Mark and he will definitely be back for more parties! More...

I hired Mark to kick off a leadership team meeting, and he was absolutely outstanding. Not only was he a spectacular magician - delivering mind-blowing, polished, and genuinely entertaining magic - but he went far beyond the performance itself. After only two brief conversations, he seamlessly wove our meeting themes into his presentation in a way that felt natural, thoughtful, and incredibly impactful.

He was professional, funny, engaging, and truly elevated the energy in the room. My entire team was impressed. I would highly recommend him for any corporate event where you want to inspire, surprise, and bring people together in a memorable way.

Mark was an absolute amazing magician to work with for my girlfriend's 29th birthday party. Mark is clearly a professional and loves what he does; his energy was infectious from first contact via the phone.

I won't give away any details of the show itself but we had a smaller group yet Mark adapted the show to something magical and intimate. He made the whole crowd feel involved and definitely brought the wow factor.

This was our first step into magic tbh but it won't be the last thanks to Mark! Please at least chat with Mark to discuss what you're looking for. You won't be disappointed.

I recently hired Mark Paskell for my birthday party, and I can’t say enough about how amazing the experience was! It was an intimate gathering of just seven people, but he managed to elevate the entire event with his incredible magic and entertaining personality. From start to finish, he brought all the stops — jaw-dropping tricks, laughs, and a genuine sense of wonder that kept everyone on the edge of their seats.
He was able to engage every single person, and we were all left in awe of his talent. Not only was the magic mind-blowing, but he also made everyone feel comfortable and part of the experience, creating the perfect atmosphere for the party.
We will absolutely be hiring him again for any future events, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking to add that extra bit of wow factor to their party or event. You won’t regret it!

mark took my boyfriend's 40th birthday party to the next level. he touched base ahead of time to get a sense of the audience and our venue, and then customized the show accordingly. I loved hearing the oohhs and ahhhs as he walked around the room and made sure each guest had their chance with close-up magic. Then he easily switched gears and put on a spectacular show that friends are still raving about. More...

words really aren't going to work here--
you know when you take a crazy, exotic trip and come back and feel different and happier and just . ..a little more excited about life on this planet? And then someone calls and says "hey, how was your trip? tell me everything!" and you really want to, so you try, but you fall short and have to resort to the inadequate and frustratingly vague: "amazing, mind blowing, it was crazy, I gotta go back...!"
And yea, inside you know this is wrong, but you're not a writer and they just need to go and see it themselves. Nothing you say is going to reconcile what you saw and felt...and talking about it to someone who wasn't there. So you sigh, and tell them they just gotta do it cause there aren't enough emojis or ways to say you’re better off than you were.
Then you can all be in the club of people who have been there, who feel like that's something they'll remember forever, but who can't tell you exactly why...even the pictures are sort of blurry. Or there aren't any. Cause you forgot what phones were. Does this sound like an acid trip or someone talking about burning man? oof.
Look, you won't regret it. Booking Mark was impulsive. My boyfriend was turning 40 and I had done absolutely nothing except reserve the backroom at the Prince. Everyone kept saying "this is a VERY important birthday" but I procrastinated and worked too much and at midnight googled “magicians near me.” The next day, I bought a couple cakes, someone brought a couple balloons, and Mark walked through the door with a fireball. Then 30ish very cool looking artists/creatives/musicians/fashion-types (who make a living being judgmental and hot) said it was the best birthday party they had ever been to…they really wouldn’t stop. They seemed, quite frankly, in love with Mark.
I was toasted. I was repeatedly grabbed by the shoulders and told I had killed it. I was, for the first time in my life, considered the most thoughtful, generous, and sweetest girlfriend (knowing that less than 24 hours before I had one room and the hope they’d get drunk and my bf would take a raincheck.)
Mark does magic, and is magic.
Just do it.

Mark is a great magician. He came and did close up magic for my wife's birthday party. He communicated well over phone and text prior to the event, and he was quick to respond to any questions I had. He knew my young children would be at the party, and he made sure to bring some magic activities for them to do as well. We started in a house, and then Mark accompanied us on a party bus. It was not an easy location for magic with dim lighting and bumpy roads, but Mark was a trooper, and he made it work. Highlight of the night! More...

Mark was the perfect blend of funny, charming, and the magic act was A+!!!

Q&As

At the age of 7 Mark became fascinated with the art of magic. In the following years he devoured every magic book at his local library, and performed countless shows for friends, neighbors and even at Ford Motor Company where his father worked.

He turned professional at the age of 15, and expanded his skills beyond conjuring to include juggling, mime, clowning and other variety arts. This dedicated development of skills and expertise led to Mark being offered a job in the city of lights — Las Vegas — when he was 20.

Following his time in Vegas, Mark continued to expand his repertoire as he worked across the USA, entertaining both private and corporate clients. Standouts include Steven Spielberg, Brain Grazer, John Travolta, Sam Raimi, Jamie Lee Curtis and Sylvester Stallone, while his corporate client list includes ABC, Health Net, Walt Disney Studios, Amtrak, Shell Oil and many Fortune 500 companies.

Mark is proud to have assisted David Copperfield in his development of Project Magic, a teaching program for handicapped children and adults.

Internationally, Mark has toured with his show through China, Japan, Mexico, Trinidad and various parts of Europe.

In addition to performing, Mark consults, supervises and assists on motion pictures and television shows that need magic, circus arts or practical special effects. He has taught actors to shoot fire from their hands or make a purse float; once he made the entire cast of a theatre show disappear in a puff of smoke! Additionally, Mark has advised Hollywood screenwriters who want accurate depictions of magic and magicians in their screenplays.

Mark has dedicated his life to this age-old art form. Give him a call and he will quickly demonstrate how he will create something special exclusively for you! 310-399-2253 310-463-2366 (cell for texts)

EVERY show is CUSTOM-CREATED. When we speak I will illustrate how the magic experience will be crafted just for you...!

YES! I have an exciting, astounding and INTERACTIVE virtual magic show that I can perform for your group ONLINE! I take care of all the set-up details; you just click on the link I'll send you and your party to begin your custom-created show! This is not like watching TV -- this is a LIVE interactive experience where you and your group actually interact with me to participate as the amazement unfolds ! Please call for details.

I'm proud to say that in early April 2020 I created a safe, socially distanced amazing show that you can feel very comfortable having at your event. I'm committed to EVERYONE'S health and safety. We talk beforehand to set up the details and protocol before my arrival, and the show itself involves no touching or contact -- but PLENTY of audience interaction! I'm flattered by the reviews and comments I've received that say I can still deliver maximum entertainment under these new standards.
