Meet Magician Gary Ferrar


Gary Ferrar is an acclaimed mentalist and magician who's as comfortable headlining for multi-billion dollar companies (Meta, Morgan Stanley, Google) as he is performing for a casual rooftop event. You can catch his critically acclaimed show, "Nothing Hear Is Real", at the Algonquin Hotel monthly.  Gary has a degree in Performing Arts from Hofstra University and draws on his love for theater and improvisation in more than 200 performances each year, from national TV appearances on NBC, USA Network, The Travel Channel, and Fox News, to performing for Howard Stern, Sharon Osbourne, and Howie Mandel on Season 7 of America's Got Talent.


Clients including Pepsi, Facebook, and Spotify call on Gary to produce entertainment that is both theatrical and mind-blowing for their corporate events, product launches, and digital marketing, such as his “Drunk Magic” Buzzfeed video which has been viewed over 1 million times. Gary has served as a magic consultant for television commercials for Samsung and a publicity consultant for Lionsgate's “Now You See Me” franchise. In addition to performing, Gary has lectured for the oldest magic society in the U.S. and provides private lessons on magic theory to celebrities and influencers.  Gary loves hiking the midwest, skiing in Vermont, landscape photography, and raising his incredible kids, Wesley & Stella.

Bonus Photo

Since you've made it this far, here's a rare photo from my very first PAID appearance, juggling for a friend's birthday party. Luckily my sense of fashion has improved as much as my magic has. I promise I won't wear these shorts to your event (unless you want me to...)

Gary's YouTube

Head over to YouTube, where (when I'm not crazy busy) I vlog. You can also check out videos like this one, of my grandfather (Ed Ferrar) on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Ed was my first publicist, billing me as a "magician direct from New York City" when I was 9 years old.

For private appearances, my stage/room show is very flexible:

Here are some simple tips to make it the best it can be:


  • If you want both strolling magic and a show, I recommend strolling first.
  • If there's an elevated stage area, great! If not, I love to be positioned against a wall with the audience directly in front for the best view.
  • For groups over 20, please make sure there's an outlet or extension cord near the performance area.
  • This show is very physical for me. It's great if there's a bottle of water available.
  • If there are any social media hashtags for your event, please let me know!
