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.
You don't have to be a mind reader! Expect nothing less than complete satisfaction! Gary's years of experience make him one of the most captivating performers you can hire. He wakes up every morning craving to go to work, which makes him (officially) the luckiest man in the world. He absolutely loves what he does, and it shows in every performance. His intimate public show "Nothing Here Is Real" ran for over a hear, due to Gary's high commitment to the audience experience.
