Your event was so much fun! I didn’t want to leave either! Thanks for having me. I’ll see you next time. :)
Alex wowed the group that ranged from 4-75 years old and did some really impressive close up magic! Highly recommended
Alex was thoroughly entertaining for kids and adults alike - i would definitely suggest hiring him
Alex really blew my mind and frustrated a lot of friends with how impossible his tricks were! Hiring him was one of the best decisions I've made for a party. He is super friendly, professional and prompt with communication, so planning is a breeze with him. He came early and performed solidly for the entire time we employed him. In in demeanor, Alex was both masterful and fun and blended perfectly with my mix crowd of friends and family friends. More than three weeks later, we are still telling stories about how he made credit cards spin circles all around me and exploded our minds! Don't be fooled by his reasonable prices! He's a star and will blow you away!
Alex did a great job of working the room and entertaining. The entire group was amazed at some of the tricks!!! Highly Recommended!
Alex was part of our company holiday party entertainment & really brought the magic! Funny and playful, it was so great to have Alex stroll around the crowd interacting with everyone close up. A wonderful experience that had our guests on the hook waiting for the next trick. Highly recommend for your next event
Incredible performance from an incredible guy! He had all 100+ guests at our event with their jaws on the floor during his tricks. Funny, witty and charming, we will definitely be calling Alex back!
Response from Alex Iverson:
It was a pleasure entertaining the BVLGARI crew!!!! Any time! Thanks so much for having me!!

Response from Alex Iverson:
Great Party! Fun guests!! Thanks so much for having me!
Alex was great! He worked the crowd very well for my event and everyone loved him. Thanks again!!
Alex kept people intrigued and bewildered by his tricks and illusions. Many people asked where and how I found him and will probably book him in advance.
Alex was the life of our party. He is not just an amazing magician, he also can be a comedian.
He keep all ages guessing and amazed. The tricks was well beyond Anything we expected.
We will be calling him again defiantly…Chris and Diana
Response from Alex Iverson:

Thanks for having me! ;)
Alex was not only a great magician, he was very accommodating to our group and made sure everyone shared in the fun. Very down to earth person.
Response from Alex Iverson:
Thanks so much! Was a pleasure! Thanks for having me. :)
Alex was great! Easy to communicate with, and arrived early/on time. Our guests loved him, even the "skeptics" entertaining and personal. Wonderful addition to our event. And I highly recommend
We were a mixed family bunch (ages 3-80) and we all enjoyed Alex’s tricks!
Alex did our cocktail hour at our wedding and blew us all away! We’d hire him again!
Thank you for making our evening fun and exciting, true professional!
This year we decided to add a little entertainment to our annual holiday luncheon and couldn't be more pleased that we found Alex! He was awesome! We hired him as a strolling/table magician, so everyone still had the opportunity to chat amongst themselves, and Alex came to each table. I could hear the ooh's and aaahh's throughout the event. He has a great personality, great magician and everyone was pleased. We would definitely hire him again.
Response from Alex Iverson:
Thanks so much! I had fun! Great company! Great people!
Alex was absolutely amazing. I was hosting my 40th Bday Casino Party at home and I had 80+ adult guest that were ready to have a good time. I've hired magicians in the past to do strolling magic at my parties but Alex hands down was the best performer thus for. All my guest were amazed with his magic specially the magic trick where he takes a Drivers License or Credit card and makes it spin around him in thin air. I'm looking forward to my next party where I can have him over again.
Response from Alex Iverson:
Yeah!! Thanks so much for having me! The pleasure was mine! Can't wait for the next one!!
So, don't bother with Alex unless you're prepared to be pissed off. His tricks are so slick and baffling that it just leaves you stumped and angry that he could be so good at his craft. Had he lived a hundred years ago, he'd have been hung for his magical abilities. Alex arrived precisely on time, stayed precisely the contracted length, and was the consummate professional throughout. No one at my party of approximately 70 people were left unamazed, in fact their Facebook posts about the great night all included some mention of Alex. And, he's reasonably priced as well. Don't miss out on this guy.
Response from Alex Iverson:
I had a wonderful time. Thanks for having me!
Alex was awesome. He killed it! His act was enjoyable, entertaining and baffling. He was easy to work with and fun to be around. Highly recommend him.

I specialize in fast paced, highly technical sleight of hand with a psychological comedic delivery. I enjoy the close up and strolling formats of magic because it allows me to tailor my routine for each individual in the smaller groups. I enjoy interaction with my audiences and believe the the most powerful magic happens in the spectator's hand.
Alex Iverson was born 1980 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Unlike the average professional magician, he didn’t begin learning his craft until the late age of 22. From that point he was hooked. He landed his first paid gig by 23 and quit his job as a waiter by 24.
Los Angeles was the birth place of Alex’s career in Magic. The transition from waiter to restaurant magician came naturally when he replaced the previously hired magicians. He got his first break when he was hired as the Resident Magician for Donald Trump’s Country Club in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA.
Alex’s career remained humble for the first few years as a restaurant magician before finding untapped potential in the bar & nightclub scene. Since then, magic has taken him all over the country on 5 national tours, performing at various corporate events and some of the premier nightclubs in every city he visited, including Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Honolulu, Sacramento, Orlando, Daytona Beach, and many more. More recently, he went international. Performing for a month at various hot spots of the Tokyo Nightlife.
In 2008 Alex competed at the Florida State Magic Convention. He captivated hobbyists and professionals alike, taking top honors in two categories; Best Strolling and Best Close-up Magician. The strolling competition was judged by all convention attendees, while the close-up competition was judged by the Florida Association of Magicians.
Over the years Alex has captured the attention of press and film makers in the various cities he’s lived. He was featured in a Documentary in the 2006 Elevate Film Festival in Hollywood, as well articles in L.A. Weekly and Honolulu Weekly.
Alex currently resides in Hollywood, CA holding a residency at SBE’s Emerson Theatre. “I do magic because it brings back the same wonder and awe we all had as a child.” Alex says, “We were all happiest when the world still held mystery and intrigue. It’s an absolute pleasure bringing that back into people’s lives on a nightly basis.”
