Ashtar is a Close-Up Magician and Mentalist who specializes in walk around (strolling) shows. Also called “Mingle Magic”.
Mentalism mainly involves reading minds and predicting future events.
Also offers shorter theatre style shows performed to the entire group at once!
Or a a hybrid show which is a combination of the two shows.
We were having a large family celebration, including people from ages 8-80. We needed some entertainment to cater to this large age range, and Ashtar delivered! He was so enthusiastic, fun and energized, and his magic was, well… magical. He was also super accommodating to our schedule, and a genuine and lovely person. Everyone enjoyed the show and it added a special highlight to our evening.
Our guests had a great time interacting with Ashtar. He was a wonderful addition to our party!
Awesome fun. All the guests enjoyed the fun close up magic experience.
Response from Ashtar Avatar - Magician and Mentalist:
Thank you Chirag for your kind words! You throw a stellar party! So amazing!
Ashtar helped us with our company holiday party and everyone could not be happier. The performance, communication, timely arrangements was beyond our expectations. I would highly recommend Ashtar for any event. Thanks Ashtar for the great evening you created for us!
Response from Ashtar Avatar - Magician and Mentalist:
Thank you Thank you Thank you Shadi!! Wonderful group! It was a pleasure entertaining you all on the 36th floor! What a magical night!
Although I never really saw Ashtar throughout the night (there were a lot of people here), I had good feed back for his performances. A longer visit might have been a better option.
Response from Ashtar Avatar - Magician and Mentalist:
Thanks for taking the time to write a review and rating! It was a wonderful event! Yes 3 hours of entertainment would have been better for sure, but you were not willing to hire me for that due to your budget and that is fine. I even gave a discounted 2 hour rate, performed an additional half an hour for free, and performed through my breaks (did not get anytime drink or eat). You could have watched me perform at anytime! I even performed a trick for you before I left! It was an amazing show and I received so many compliments! Thanks again for having me! Merry Christmas!
We are still talking about how Ashtar did some of his tricks. He was entertaining and skilled. very comfortable and outgoing with our guests. We’ll worth it!
Response from Ashtar Avatar - Magician and Mentalist:
Kelly!!! Thank you kindly for your sweet words!! It was so much fun at your partner’s birthday party! Thanks for thinking to have me there to break the ice!
We hosted a fundraiser walk with approximately 100 people ranging from babies to seniors and Ashtar’s magic was a hit with them all. He was an excellent addition to our entertainment. People were very impressed with the mingle magic. It was also lovely because Ashtar got involved with all aspects of our event (even took part in our raffle and our morning breath work/stretch) Hoping Ashtar will be available next year to our walk! Would book him again in a heartbeat.
Ashtar was great! Very entertaining and everyone at the party enjoyed his tricks very much. His final personalized show was great and memorable. Thank you Ashtar!
Response from Ashtar Avatar - Magician and Mentalist:
Awesome!!! Thank you so much Lorna for your kind words! Much appreciated! You know how to throw a really a good party!
Ashtar was very professional and easy to work with. He performed a mini-show with the Bday Boy (Me!) and then did his strolling around Magic for all the Friends who attended. Would highly recommend.
Thanx again Ashtar...!!
Response from Ashtar Avatar - Magician and Mentalist:
Aneet! Thanks for the amazing review man! Really appreciate it! Very legendary birthday party!
Ashtar recently performed at the Niagara Falls Witches Ball and boy did he add some flare to the evening! Professional, punctual and poised, Ashtar was a hit with our guests. We Highly recommend Ashtar for any event and will most definitely be hiring him again! Thanks for doing such a spectacular job :)

If I could rate higher than 5 stars I would! Ashtar was professional, engaging and entertaining. He tailored his performance to a crowd of lawyers which was a big hit. I would certainly recommend Ashtar for anyone looking for a magician/mentalist.
Response from Ashtar Avatar - Magician and Mentalist:
WOW! Thank you so much for your very kind words Mr. Tanudjaja! What a great party! Lawyers are the coolest!
Ashtar performed at our wedding cocktail hour and was fantastic! He was friendly, professional and had the perfect strolling magic to wow the audience. What a great ice-breaker to bring together people meeting for the first time. I highly recommend Ashtar! Thank you so much for being a part of our amazing day!
He was absolutely fantastic!!!! Ashtar Avatar was able to interact with all ages (young children, teenagers and adults), and everyone was intrigued and thoroughly enjoyed what he had to show us. I would highly recommend hiring Ashtar Avatar for your next event!!!
Response from Ashtar Avatar - Magician and Mentalist:

Hopefully we’ll see each other again soon!
Ashtar
Ashtar was amazing at entertaining and amazing our guests. Even with a very busy center, he made sure to visit everyone and the positive feedback was outstanding! Highly recommend his services.
Great
Ashtar showed up on time and immediately got to work entertaining our guests. From our head table we watched him do a great job of engaging people and helping make our wedding a unique experience. We would highly recommend him. Very professional and great table magic tricks.
Response from Ashtar Avatar - Magician and Mentalist:
Wow! Thanks for the amazing review Sean! I had so much fun entertaining you, your lovely bride, and your family and friends. One of the best weddings I have entertained at!
Ashtar was a pleasure to work with and the guests loved him. He performed close up strolling magic for a group of 55 adults for a corporate event. He also performed mentalist/mind reading which was amazing! He stayed in contact with me and checked in with me about the upcoming event and details. Very professional and a pleasure to have at our event. I would definitely hire him again.
Response from Ashtar Avatar - Magician and Mentalist:
Thank you so much Dianne! You throw an amazing event! Hope to see you again soon!
Ashtar performed three very different and amazing shows on the same day for my children's birthday parties. Our family and friends throughly enjoyed the shows and the personal magic interaction in between the shows during the parties. I was extremely happy some of the magic tricks were personalized for the specific birthday child. Our children were very surprised and Ashtar really made their birthday very memorable. I would highly recommend Ashtar Avatar for any event and we are definitely bringing him back.
Response from Ashtar Avatar - Magician and Mentalist:
Marie! Thank you very much for the amazing review!
I had so much fun entertaining!
Tell your kids I said hi! Thank you!
Ashtar
Was super impressed with Astar and so we're all my quests. From 2 year olds to 87 year olds and they all were amazed. We hired him for stroll-around pocket magic and he didn't disappoint. People were still talking about the tricks long into dinner... They were AMAZING! He was so professional and arrived at the venue early to ensure he had ample time, and was on it as soon as quests started to arrive. Couldn't have picked a better entertainer. Many thanks Ashtar for make our cocktail hour a success!
Response from Ashtar Avatar - Magician and Mentalist:
Wow! Thank you so much Dinah for the amazing review! I'm very happy that everyone was super impressed with my magical entertainment! I had a blast! You and Massimo Sr., your friends, and family were so much fun! Congratulations Massimo!!!!
Ashtar was awesome at my sons 9th birthday party
Response from Ashtar Avatar - Magician and Mentalist:
Thanks Lori! What a party!!!
We had a double Birthday party for our 2 daughters and Ashtar performed. All of the children and adults thoroughly enjoyed the show. He was amazing with the kids. I highly recommend Ashtar for anyone interested in a magician, my husband and I are so happy that we found him. I couldn't thank him enough for the magical birthday party he gave our daughters.
Ashtar is an amazing performer, we had so much fun with him mingling around our guests at our conference dinner. He was a pleasure and easy to work with.
I totally recommend him!
We are all still talking about Ashtar's magic. From our youngest to oldest guests we were all awestruck. My 8 year grandnephew. a Harry Potter fan said that Ashtar is way better. Besides the magic, Ashtar is a truly lovely person, blending so easily and well with everyone. And even though he had to rush on to another engagement, he made sure that he got me at the end to do some magic for me. We can't wait to plan another event so we can have Ashtar back with us. I am also glad I discovered Gigsalad ... amazing place to find great talent. My entertainment go-to place from now on. Kudos and thanks to all!
We were delighted with what Ashtar was able to come up with for a Corporate Event at the Royal York hotel. Not an easy crowd - all insurance people -- but he was absolutely amazing. People talked about it for days! He is wonderful to work with, very accommodating and really, really GOOD! I'd highly recommend him for a wide variety of events where you want to wow your guests.
