Old Fart Magic

My performances are highly interactive and designed to bring people together through laughter, surprise, and impossible moments that happen right in front of them.

I specialize in close-up and walk-around magic using everyday objects like cards, coins, borrowed items, predictions, imagination effects, and audience participation. Guests don’t just watch the magic — they become part of it, which makes the experience far more personal and memorable.

Depending on the event, I’ll either mingle naturally among small groups performing close-up magic or provide a more structured stand-up performance for the audience. Every show is customized to fit the atmosphere, energy, and flow of the event itself.

One of my favorite parts of performing is hearing people laugh, react, and eventually say, “Wait… how did that Old Fart do that?”

What I love most is watching people forget about stress for a while and simply enjoy the moment together.

There’s something special about seeing complete strangers laugh, interact, and become genuinely amazed by something happening right in front of them. Magic has a unique way of bringing people together, breaking the ice, and creating conversations that continue long after the event ends.

I also love that every audience is different. Whether I’m performing at a corporate event, private party, convention, retirement community, or family gathering, every performance develops its own personality and energy.

At the end of the day, it’s not really about fooling people — it’s about creating memorable experiences people genuinely enjoy sharing together.

Old Fart Magic grew naturally from performing for family, friends, coworkers, and business associates over the years. I originally started learning magic simply because I enjoyed seeing people laugh, react, and try to figure out the impossible.

As I continued performing in social settings and even during business presentations, I realized magic had an incredible ability to break the ice, bring people together, and create instant connections between complete strangers.

The reactions were so overwhelmingly positive that I eventually decided to turn what had started as a personal passion into a professional business.

What began as casual entertainment has grown into something I genuinely love doing — creating memorable experiences that help people relax, interact, and enjoy themselves together.

Clients choose Old Fart Magic because the performances are more than just tricks — they’re interactive experiences designed to bring people together, create conversation, and leave guests talking long after the event ends.

I work comfortably with audiences of all ages and backgrounds, whether it’s a corporate event, private party, convention, retirement community, wedding reception, or casual gathering. My goal is always to create a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere where guests feel involved rather than simply watching from a distance.

Clients also appreciate the professionalism, reliability, and adaptability I bring to every event. My background as a Marine Corps veteran, retired commercial pilot, and Kenpo Karate Sensei taught me how to communicate effectively, stay calm under pressure, and connect naturally with all kinds of people.

Most importantly, I genuinely love performing magic and creating moments of laughter, surprise, and shared enjoyment that people remember long after the event is over.
