This page isn't about the tricks. You can find that on other sections of my site. What I'd rather show you is the vibe. On a gorgeous farm in the Hudson Valley, I filled Julie and Tom's cocktail hour with mentalism, classic sleight of hand, and general fun that got both sides of the family engaged and fit the theme of their wedding, which was "in pursuit of magic." Keep reading to see what Julie and Tom thought of their day.
"When we began planning our wedding, one of the first things we knew was that Gary had to be there. (To get the boring stuff out of the way: Gary is communicative, prompt and professional.) Gary absolutely lit up our cocktail hour. Roaming around from group to group, he wowed our guests with cards, money, markers and ropes. His magic seamlessly weaved together different groups, building a feeling of fun that carried through the entire night. The reaction photos are incredible. A month later, our guests are still trying to recreate the tricks. Most weddings don't have magicians. Related: Most weddings aren't as fun as they could be. Gary is awesome and we can't wait to work with him again soon."

I'm the only magician in NY to receive a Wedding Wire Couple's Choice Award with over 20 unanimous five-star reviews from couples I've worked with. But like Julie and Tom said, I really think that photos give the best sense of the dynamic I can help add to your day. So please keep scrolling.

Why? Because after a phone call with Hayley and Tim to discuss strolling mentalism for their wedding, they asked me if I'd be willing to not only attend their cocktail hour, but also create some custom magic tricks that I could perform as I officiated their marriage. WHAT?!
Your headphones should always look amazing! Pick your preferred color.
After 12 years of doing this as my profession, it's rare for me to find myself in a situation that I'm not used to. This was certainly a high-stakes moment. Thankfully, everyone was thrilled. Even the relatives that were expecting a traditional ceremony!
