Magician

We hired Julian as our magician for my daughter's fourth birthday party. He was absolutely amazing and well worth it. We've never had a magician before and wasn't sure what to expect. Great performer, amazing personality, right away he bonded with each child and remembered their names throughout the show. I
Highly recommend him for your next event. His magic show is definitely worth it! Very cool tricks!

We couldn't be happier with Julian and his show!!! We were having some friends over (with their children) a few weeks ago. There are kids from age 2 through 10 in this group, and we wanted a special fun activity that all could enjoy. We had about 15 kids there total. Julian set up right in our backyard and gave us a great magic show. The kids were captivated; the adults too!

Julian got all the kids involved and was entertaining the entire time, showing some hands-on demonstrations at the end. My kids are still talking about how how made their friend "float" in the air.

Booking Julian was easy and straight-forward. He is professional and responds quickly. I look forward to booking him again!

Julian you did a great job and managed to keep our rambunctious group of 15-20 kids (and many adults) entertained during our daughters birthday party.  Good humored, fun and entertaining. Everyone enjoyed your show.  Thank you! More...

I hired Julian for my son's 5th birthday party and was blown away by his performance. I previously saw Julian perform at another friend's birthday party and was so impressed how he could keep 12 kids entertained for over an hour. I am an event planner so I know good when I see good and Julian is beyond good! He's amazing!!! All of my son's friends had a blast at the party and Julian was so patience and kind to the little ones. I am truly blessed to have found him. If you want good entertainment hire Julian! His magic tricks are fun and he gets the audience involved which is fun especially for the kids! I can't say enough great things! Kristin More...

We had Julian Alexander at the birthday party for my son.I can not say enough about how wonderful Julian was! All the kids loved him! They were constantly laughing and cooperating with what Julian was asking of them. Even though Julian is younger than most other magicians that I came across, his professionalism and manners are great. From the very beginning his communication was great, helpful and on timely manner. At the party, he was very entertaining and funny. Throughout the whole show, you could hear the kids laughing and also keep asking "hey, how did he do that?" I would highly recommend Julian Alexander. Thanks for making our party a hit Julian!!!

I just hired Julian for my son's eighth birthday party and he was great. He handled my son and 25 of his friends magically. We loved every minute of the show! Julian had the kids completely captivated the whole time, and all the adults really enjoyed it too. After the show many parents approached me asking for Julian's contact info, saying that their kids wouldn't stop talking about Julian. This was a simple, easy and fun idea. I would highly recommend Julian for any group, adults or kids, he was absolutely fantastic! More...

Q&As

Julian became interested in magic at the age of five, when he saw a street magician make a signed dollar bill appear inside of a lemon. Later that year he got to see Rick Wilcox perform live in Wisconsin Dells. During the show he was chosen to join the magician on stage to help with an escape trick. That Christmas, Julian received his very first magic kit, by Rick Wilcox! He began performing to his friends and family whenever he could. He was completely hooked. He performed his first show when he was twelve years old, and earned about 50 dollars. Ever since then he's become one of the youngest most versatile performers, bringing a new, fresh, and exciting spin on modern magic.

​
Birthday Parties:
Let Julian entertain and captivate your children and their friends with his unique blend of comedy and magic at their next birthday party. The birthday boy/girl gets to participate throughout the show and will be suspended in midair – a perfect birthday photo opportunity. Birthday parties are followed by a magic workshop where participants learn six magic tricks to keep and take home. The birthday boy/girl also receives a special magic kit from Julian.
​
Strolling Magic Shows:
Let Julian make your mingling memorable as he performs up close. In his strolling show, Julian will perform for individual groups of people. Whether the magic is happening in their hands, or in the hands of the person next to them, everyone will be amazed. Plus, magic is a great way to grab your guests' attention, and what a great way to keep them entertained.
​
Group and Corporate Magic Shows:
Watch as the impossible becomes possible! See torn objects restored, and appear in impossible locations! Julian's magical stand-up show is perfect for corporate events, dinner shows, conventions and much more! The show is extremely interactive. Watch your coworkers, friends, and family get in on the act. This show is perfect for audiences of all sizes and runs between 20- 75 minutes.

Julian says that there is no single answer to that question, as there are a many number of things that make magic enjoyable, but here are some that come to mind for him:

The reactions people have to magic. There is nothing more satisfying than getting great reactions from the people you are entertaining. Some people respond so vocally and spontaneously that it is a joy to witness and gives that feeling of satisfaction.

Julian really enjoys meeting (and entertaining) new people. In this business, you are meeting new people all the time and from all different walks of life.

The community. The art of magic has such an encouraging and supportive community. There is always someone to talk to, ask questions to, discuss principles with, or just simply jam with. There are hundreds of conferences and gatherings, where magicians, from all over the world, can get together to practice, perform, and learn.

The mystery factor, not necessarily the mystery of magic, but more in the places you end up and the things you see. Julian gets to see things that he wouldn't get to see in everyday life; magic can be a great adventure.

Traveling is also a big part of magic. Whether it's driving up and down Illinois, or hopping on a plane to perform in another country.

Julian, a high school freshman, started practicing his magic craft at the ripe old age of five and began performing shows at age 11. A natural-born entertainer, he has been amusing audiences since he was old enough to talk. Some say he never stopped talking, thus the push toward entertainment to diffuse his energy and need to make others outside of his family and fellow classmates laugh. He maintains a sense of professionalism in his relationships with clients and in his magic. He also adds a touch of youth and uniqueness that others can't. This allows him to connect perfectly with both children and adults through his magic and comedy. Julian's original style puts a unique and fun twist on each show. He even personalizes the shows, creating a once in a life time experience for you and your guests!

​Julian has been featured all across the U.S., including, Illinois, Wisconsin, Utah, Indiana, and Michigan. He has also performed internationally, in Paris, London, and Berlin. Corporate clients for Julian include: SEASPAR, The YMCA, Ronald McDonald House Charities, Rotary International, American Legion and more!
