Does Your Event Need a Roaming Magician?
There are certain types of events that really benefit from roving magic, and adding a unique form an entertainment. Simply put, if you have guests walking around and interacting with each other, and you're worried things might be awkward, there might be wall flowers, or even that they need some help making connections: that is your sign to hire roving magicians instead of a magic show. Here are the types of events we perform close up sleight of hand at most often.
Cocktail Hour – Corporate events, and weddings both have cocktail hours that need a burst of interactivity. When the guests arrive is when they need the most help engaging and interacting with each other. This is the most common occasion for roving magic.
V.I.P Events – There are some events that are just made for the V.I.P's. Things like bringing your top customers together, the hospitality suite, even afterparties after big events or launches. When the whole party is informal for a unique group of people - that's a great time to add some mingling magic and mind reading.
Trade Shows – We position one of our trade show magicians at your booth. They gather a crowd performing amazing magic, then they direct the people to you. It's the easiest way to get more leads at your booth, and make it the talk of the convention
Just Ask - We get weird requests for roving magicians all the time, and we'll be honest with you and tell you if it's a good fit or not. We've had requests for surprise parties, car dealerships, street fairs, mothers day banquets and more. Tell us about your event, and we'll tell you if we can help!
Any time your guests are chatting with each other and might need a zap of entertainment, strolling magic might be a good fit. Unlike a stage magic show that requires tech and staging, roving magic happens right in your audiences’ hands. Our roving magicians perform incredible close up illusions that get your guests talking, laughing, and having a great time. We guarantee your event won't be boring
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is a roaming magician
A roaming magician is a magician who mingles around your event and does magic that happens in your guests hands. Most often they perform during cocktail hours, or events that guest interacting with each other is a priority!
How much space does a roaming magician need?
None! Okay, not none - but no additional space! Wherever your guests are interacting and mingling with each other - the magic can fit in seamlessly! That’s the beauty of roaming magic—performers move through your existing venue space. Roving magicians are the perfect addition to venues where traditional entertainment wouldn’t fit.
Will the magic be appropriate for all ages?
Absolutely! Not only is are our magicians 100% clean, they also can customize their performances to suit your audience, whether children, adults, or mixed groups. We can tailor our interactive illusions to delight any crowd.
How far in advance should I book?
Tough question. We get booked up pretty fast, and there are busy times of year where we are booked out months in advance. For weddings and holiday parties, securing your performer 2-3 months ahead is advised. Let's put it this way, if you're reading this page- it's time to reach out!
What types of magic will the performer showcase?
Our roving magicians specialize in close up magic. Things like card tricks, coin tricks, and mind reading effects. The overall word to describe what the performance is like is interactive. Your audience interacting with the magic and the magic happening in their hands!
Can the magician incorporate our branding or message?
Absolutely! For corporate events and product launches, we can weave messages, branding, slogans, or even logos into the magic. Just tell us what the event goal is, and we'll help make it customized to you! The more we know about your special occasion, the more we can customize the magic!
Will the performer mingle throughout the entire event?
Our performers typically work in sets of 90 minutes, which reaches about 150 attendees. For larger events we recommend booking multiple magicians or scheduling multiple performance windows during key mingling times during the event!

They're fun, funny, and even when they're not performing magic they're the hit of a party!

Weddings
Probably the second most popular occasion that we perform mingling magic at is weddings. While we most often are performing during the cocktail hour before dinner, there are a few other key places we perform at during weddings. We help make your wedding reception a memorable night with cocktail magic that keeps guests entertained during those critical transition periods:
While the wedding party takes photos - usually while the guests are having cocktails.
When people arrive at their assigned tables - to help people make friends with the people they're seated with!
Late night party magic - after dinner for guests who aren’t dancing but still want to have fun!
Our roaming magic is the type of entertainment that's easy to plan, easy to execute, and people talk about it for years. We basically make your event more memorable - kinda like magic!
