How long have you been interested in magic?
Our whole lives! Wayne's been learning magic since he was six years old. He ended up stumbling upon a magic shop and the owner took Wayne under his wing. He's spent years using magic to make people smile.
Kali has loved magic since she was little too, although she didn't have a magician to teach her the secrets until she was 28. She's come a long way from learning card tricks on the backs of cereal boxes and uses her life experience to enhance her storytelling.
Take us through your show – what can we expect?
Family friendly fun! People of all ages enjoy our magic shows. There's a little bit of something for everyone.
What do you love most about your job?
Building community through shared experiences and memories. For us, it's all about the smiles.
What inspired you to start your own business?
We started performing as a side project. It was a great way for us to spend time together doing things that we love while also serving our community. Kali was working from home as a cartoonist and author as she spent time with our daughter while Wayne taught STEAM after school education. Then Wayne lost his job when the local nonprofit he had worked at for 16 years closed. Life had thrown us a huge curveball. Taking the leap into full time performance was scary at first, and a huge risk. It was the best decision we've ever made.
Why should our clients choose you?
We've been working with families our whole lives and, in our opinion, there is nothing better than helping people make memories together. It's our job to share joy with others. If we can be a positive force into someone's day, we've done our job right.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
We can do both! As the pandemic progresses, we've learned how to pivot quickly. Most of our offerings can also happen online or in a socially distant format, meaning you never have to cancel the fun.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
As entertainers, we've been hit especially hard during the pandemic. The best and safest thing we've done is to turn our in-person activities into online offerings. We also adhere to strict guidelines when heading out into the world for the safety of our clients and families.
Virtual Magic Shows
Everyone gets a front row seat as we entertain you and your guests with magic that happens on both sides of the screen!
Sages Entertainment is proud to present virtual magic performances! These options are perfect for schools, libraries, birthday parties, and other online events.
Everyone will be all smiles as they watch and participate in magic that happens on the screen and in their home. There are no bad seats; everyone gets a good view of the magic and has a chance to be a part of the show.
Virtual STEAM Enrichment
As educators with a combined 30 years of experience, Kali & Wayne understand how much is on your plate. Let us help you eliminate a few items from your to-do list. We do the research, suggest the best fits, and design a curriculum that will meet your unique needs.
Some of the hottest STEAM activities right now:
CODING
The future is now! From robotics to virtual reality, coding is quickly becoming a basic skill in the workplace. It isn’t just computer programmers anymore; analysts, artists, healthcare workers, engineers, and designers all require a basic understanding of coding. We facilitate a wide range of coding languages and curriculums.
MAKER STATIONS
Nothing makes STEAM education more fun than a hands-on approach, which can be difficult to facilitate virtually. We create projects and provide kits for every need. Enhance geometry with a little origami practice, or bring physics to life with units on flight.
STEAM DAYS
Who says STEAM Days can’t be fun online? There is so much to explore in the world of science, technology, engineering, art, and math. Let us take care of it for you. From planning to facilitation, we’ll provide the experts, special guests, projects, presentations, and the entertainment.
Balloon Decor
It’s the details that bring everything together.
Everyone knows what balloons mean. “The party is HERE!” Balloon decor reminds people that it’s time to relax and have fun. Balloons can also tie in a theme, direct traffic, and send a message.
It’s a great way to liven up your space, no matter the size. We can customize your colors to fit your theme or your branding. We’ll guide you every step of the way to make the perfect choice for your needs.

Magic Lessons (Online & In - Person)
Students in our Discover Magic online courses learn the secrets of magic and 8 Traits of Becoming a True Magician. More importantly, they learn how to feel more confident, enthusiastic, creative, and empowered through each lesson. It’s so important to share the gift of magic with others and we also reinforce those critical skills that go beyond the world of magic.
Every specially tailored lesson is packed with FUN. There are high-quality magic props, top-secret file folders, surprises, and secret words that unlock bonus videos in the online vault.
All this is mailed to your home and then magicians in training meet online via Zoom for 8 interactive sessions. In-person camps are available under the right circumstances. Watch as your child grows and develops. Their communication skills will improve, they will learn how to interact with others, new friends will be made, and most importantly have they will have FUN.
Balloon Art
Balloon games are a great addition to any event. While the balloon artist creates delightful sculptures, audience members shout out their best guesses as to what the artist is creating. The person with the correct guess gets to take the sculpture home. Peppered with stories, challenges, and quick balloons for younger children, balloon games are an engaging experience for young and old.
A high-energy production featuring your event attendees, the Balloon Game Show can be customized to fit a specific theme or event. Through games like Silly Trivia, Spin the Amazing Wheel of Balloons, Guess the Magic Number, and Heads or Tails, fun will be had by all. The winners of each game will take home a balloon sculpture as a prize.
