Who would have guessed that a gentleman in a black suit and tons of magical personality wandering through a room full of adults could hold them captive! ?! Pull out their long lost childhood curiosity buried deep within years of skepticism. The simple love of entertainment and surprise remembered. No rabbit in a hat was needed. More...

Sly performed walk-around magic at a party I hosted for family and friends (mostly adults and teens). Guests were very impressed and commented that he added a lot to the party. Sly was easy to work with and reliable. Great choice! More...

I highly recommend Sly if you’re looking for a professional entertainer. We were planning a small NYE party and wanted a little something special for the evening, I reached out to Sly and he responded so quickly. Within a day, we were set for the event, with all the details worked out. He arrived just exactly when he said he would and immediately began to set up. The show was fantastic, starting off with some humor and ending with everyone trying to figure out how he managed those tricks! There was audience interaction and everyone in our small group had a chance to participate. I appreciate Sly’s good communication and punctuality and I plan to ask him again to share his talents next time we have a similar function! More...

Alec performed at my husband’ s birthday party to a group of about 25 people . He began his show with close up magic roaming to individual tables and then moved on to an hour group performance. Alec was extremely entertaining as evidenced by the frequent applause and shocking surprises he created throughout. Alec is a consummate entertainer and knows how to work the crowd . He engaged several individuals during his show and exhibited good humor and charm. Before the performance I was able to describe the kinds of magic that I wanted in the show and he was very accommodating. Our friends were still talking about the show days later. More...

Sly came to my brother's Oktoberfest party, which had guests from the ages of six to 66. He was funny, entertaining, professional, and above all a great addition to the festivities! Everyone there enjoyed him and laughed at his jokes, and we're amazed by his magic! Thank you so much for putting on one heck of a show, Sly! More...

We hired Sly last weekend to entertain at an adults-only dinner party for my husband's 37th birthday, held in a private room at Clyde's. He did an amazing job, and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It was really impressive, especially in such a small area, and our friends are still talking about it! Such a fun and unique experience:) More...

Wandering freely around my guests, Sly performed close up magic at my retirement party, and he was the hit of the celebration. He left people scratching their heads, laughing, and amazed at how he made the impossible happen/appear/disappear/etc. He was the perfect entertainment. More...

We hired Sly Magic to work the room during cocktail hour at our daughter's wedding and he did fantastic. Our guests loved all the magic and interaction from Sly. We booked through gigmasters which was smooth and easy. Sly was prompt on emails/communication and delivered a wonderful experience, as promised. The rate of fair and he was definitely one of the highlights from the reception. Would recommend for wedding reception/cocktail hour. More...

Alec performed at my assisted living community tonight. He was charming, engaging and left us all asking “how did he do that? ” He was professional and prompt. The best part of his performance was how interactive he was with my residents. We are all looking forward to learning more about magic and being astounding by your sleight of hand. Great start to our 3 part series. See you next month, Alec!! More...

Sly has performed at both adult and children’s parties for us and he is AWESOME. His card and coin tricks are just fantastic and NO ONE can figure them out. It’s magic! Just as good is his easy banter with guests while he works the crowd and sets up his tricks. He was reasonably priced, dressed and spoke professionally and we have recommended him to all of our friends and coworkers. More...

How long have you been interested in magic?
I have been performing magic for well over 30 years. I have entertained as young as 5 to as old as 106.
Take us through your show – what can we expect?
My show is a mix of classic magic, mentalism and comedy.
I get as many of the guests as I can involved with the show.
What do you love most about your job?
Hearing laughter and seeing the amazement on peoples faces.
Why should our clients choose you?
My goal is to positively impact every person I meet.
With me, you will not sacrifice QUALITY, EXPERIENCE, RELIABILITY, FLEXIBILITY or COMMUNICATIONS.
Stand-up Show
A show where everyone watches at the same time. Anywhere from a living room to a full stage. 15 minutes to a full hour. Magic, mentalism, comedy.
Close-up Walk around
This is typically for larger gatherings where a stand-up show would not work well. I stroll among the guests and entertain small groups at a time with magic.
Combo
An often requested service of both a stand-up show with walk-around style either before or after.
