Being considered as the entertainment for your event is a true honor. I know it's a big decision. In fact, it's probably one of the things guests will remember most about your event. My goal is to make this a worry-free experience for you, which means I take care of everything, down to early arrival times and insurance certificates. I perform at multiple events every week and am confident I know what works best for an event like yours.
Gary is funny, charismatic, commands attention, and is excellent with sleight of hand and mentalism (which was great for the brainy folks in the office). Our clients talked about it for the rest of the night! Gary was great to coordinate with on the business side as well. I would absolutely recommend him for your corporate event. Or any event really. I would hire him to do my wedding, were I getting married."
We rented out a small restaurant for a 30th birthday celebration and hired Gary to perform for an hour. Within 10 minutes, he had warmed up and excited everyone there, including the restaurant staff. Gary amazed a skeptical crowd with card tricks, mentalism and his natural charm. Best of all, he's just a nice guy and easy to work with. It's been a year of big birthdays among our friends and Gary was the highlight."
I've never seen such a large group of children so completely engaged and for so long!! Gary's act is extremely clever and perfectly tailored to the age group. He's such a pro that he put our daughter (who can be shy) so completely at ease that she got on stage with him and wouldn't come down!!! Gary was the hit of the party. Many parents told us that he was easily the best magician they'd seen."

Averaging 300 events annually in this city, it's safe to say that I've witnessed it all. Sometimes, navigating parking in Manhattan feels like the real sleight of hand. I'm an expert on venues, parking, navigation, traffic, and any other challenges that may come up.
I've also developed a huge network of local entertainment, including DJ's, psychics, pastry chefs, photographers, and more! I can suggest reliable local services that show up on time. I mainly serve New York, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island, Nassau, Suffolk, and Westchester, but bring my magic show anywhere.
This is as difficult a question to ask as "how much does a car cost?" There are a multitude of factors that most magicians use to decide what to charge per appearance. Here are some key considerations used by Gary to determine the pricing for your event:
The type of performance will influence pricing. Strolling magic requires very little set up, whereas stage performances require more coordination, including sound equipment, projection screens, and tech checks.
The length of the performance usually affects the fee. Magicians usually charge more for longer shows or for multiple performances in one event. This is especially true in busy markets like New York, where magicians can often schedule two events on the same day.
The time spent traveling to and from your event is factored into the pricing. Sometimes this works in the client's favor, as the cost may be reduced if Gary is already appearing at an event in the same general area.
Magicians who are well-known and in high demand tend to charge higher fees. Additionally, popular dates, especially around holidays, might cause rates to be higher than other days of the year.
Gary's experience allows him to command higher fees. There are few performers that have the ability to consistently deliver a mind-blowing product to every kind of audience. We have found that crowds are surprisingly skilled at recognizing the difference between "good" and "great" entertainment.
If your event requires airfare or an overnight stay, these expenses may either be factored into the fee or billed separately.
Because the administrative tasks can be bundled, it can sometimes be cheaper to book multiple shows at once, rather than booking each show independently.
Some magicians offer customized performances tailored to the client's needs and preferences. Depending on the scope, these personalized shows may command higher fees. Additionally, optional services such as teaching magic workshops, or providing magic consulting, may have separate pricing structures.
Ultimately, all of these factors combine to create a quote that makes sense for your event. Typically, that number also reflects the value that Gary will bring to your event. Click the button below to get started.
