Amazing sophisticated audiences with slick sleight of hand, illusions and mental mysteries.
Guaranteed to amuse, confuse, deceive and delight even the most skeptical of audiences.
I’ve dedicated decades to perfecting my original illusions. My signature effects baffle, bewilder and bamboozle the brightest brainiacs – and even mystify master magicians. But magic is more than tricks. It’s deeper than deception.
My job is to entertain, to give your guests a great time and even greater memories. When they witness my “miracles right before their very eyes,” your guests will be laughing, applauding and possibly squeaking with glee.
Smooth and effortless communication with Brian, and we quickly finalized the event details. My clients were super happy! Highly recommend!
Brian performed for a small corporate dinner and could not have delivered a better show. I was impressed with his professionalism and his ability to adapt to the confined space while ensuring all guests were engaged and part of the show. Would highly recommend Brian for shows of all ages!
Response from Brian McGovern:
Thank you so much, Jazmin! You and your group were truly a delight. It was a pleasure to perform magic and mentalism for such an amazing audience. Your energy and enthusiasm truly elevated the show to new heights.

I booked Brian for an in-office event, and he was amazing! Everyone absolutely loved the whole performance, that not only was full of great tricks but was also hilarious. I cannot recommend him enough, and would book Brian again in a heartbeat.
Brian coming to my office's holiday party was definitely one for the books! He was amazing when it came to the preparation and came on time. Really kept employees in the office later than usual and they are still raving about his production.
Response from Brian McGovern:
Oh wow! I loved your event. Thank you so much for your amazing professionalism and enthusiasm!
Thank you for creativity and your brilliance! We look forward to using your talents and skills at future events!
Brian was a delight to work with and helped make our small event very special for our guests. I highly recommend you book his talents!
Amazing tricks, everybody really enjoyed Brian. Highly recommend to have for walk-arounds during your office party.
Brian was great, I would highly recommend him for your next event.
We hired Brian to perform at a 40th birthday party and he was amazing. He spent an hour strolling the room during the cocktail hour and had everyone amazed. He was incredibly professional and responsive throughout the planning process and was a pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend him.
We hired Brian McGovern for PACK EXPO East doing trade show magic at our booth. Will definitely look to hire him again - he was prompt and helped us generate lots of leads for our booth!

Brian was ah-mazing! I wanted something different than our usual old boring corporate parties and thought of adding a touch of magic. Best. idea. ever! Brian is an awesome entertainer. Even the toughest critic and the hard-to-please people in my group was thoroughly amazed and entertained.
My only regret is that only got him for an hour. Should've done longer..forgothow fast an hour can go by when you're having fun :)
Response from Brian McGovern:
WOW! Thank you for having me. It is such a delight to perform for a smart audience.
Brian was amazing, the entire patty loved him
Response from Brian McGovern:
Thanks Lindsay. I loved working with you. It is always a pleasure to entertain such a wonderful group of people.
Great strolling show, got the crowd comfortable at lunch and facilitated the networking! The mini skit before the final session of our seminar got everyone laughing and re-engaged before the final speakers took the stage.
Response from Brian McGovern:
I really enjoyed amazing the attendees during the luncheon and getting them into the mood to network and interact. It's always great to work with a professional like you!
Brian was punctual, enthusiastic, outgoing, and super talented! He dazzled our office party with magic tricks, engaged employees, and got everyone interacting. Highly recommended!
Response from Brian McGovern:
Thank you! Congratulations on a wonderful party. I always enjoy mystifying a smart audience like your group. So much fun! Thanks.
I would like to say that Brian did a great job walking and working the crowd at our 300+event. Everyone at our corporate function loved his enthusiasm personality and friendliness. He definitely entertained 90% of the guests. All I have been hearing are complements for having a magician. It was the first time our company decided to have an entertainer as such and Brian made it precedent to have it now for all thanks to his skill. Highest recommendations for him.
Response from Brian McGovern:
Thank you! It's always a pleasure to entertain such a smart & friendly group.
Congratulations on producing a fabulous party - everyone was smiling, laughing and having fun.
Well done!
Brian was amazing at our company holiday party. The magic was incredible and everyone enjoyed the show. We are still talking about his sleight of hand and mind reading - it really looks like magic.

What can you expect? Amazing, funny magic the will impress even the most sophisticated guest. From intimate parties to big stages, I've got the magic you need to make your next event incredible.
I perform both Close-Up Strolling Magic as well as a Stand-Up Comedy Magic Show. Here's what to expect:
Close-Up / Walk Around / Strolling
Whether it’s table-to-table or strolling through the crowd, I’ll mingle with all your guests, performing unique and never-before-seen close-up magic and mentalism. The magic happens right before their eyes - and even in their own hands.
My magic creates moments of astonishment. Laughter and applause. Oohs and ahhs.
It gets people talking, and facilitates introductions. Exactly what you want for a successful networking event.
Stand-Up Comedy Magic
My stand-up act is perfect for corporate audiences (like employee training, awards dinners, client events) It’s a fast and funny combination of mind-boggling illusion and hilarious audience participation. The show can run from a 15 minutes up to a full hour. It features mind-reading magic and illusions mixed with improv & stand-up comedy.
Your guests become the stars of the show. I invite audience members to become part of the show as they come on stage to amaze the crowd. If you wish, your VIP or guests of honor can steal the spotlight and even get a standing ovation when they pull off a minor miracle, guaranteed to bring the house down.
The magic I do is perfect for professionals - it's smart and sophisticated and perfected over decades. I've baffled engineers at Google, scientists at Columbia and NYU, lawyers at Harvard and Princeton and pretty much bamboozled every kind of smarty-panted know-it-all all across the US and Europe.
And not to worry, all of the material I will present is suitable for a professional work setting. No offensive language, nothing that might embarrass any guests. Just fun, amazing magic!
As a full-time professional magician, you can count on me to deliver as promised - plus I'm fully insured in case the venue requires it. Need professional references? I'm happy to oblige.
These tricks are not for kids. I regularly entertain at events for adults only. I use sleight of hand to create close-up magical mysteries that will amaze and amuse the most sophisticated audience.
Walk-around close-up magic is the perfect way to set the mood for your event.
Whether it’s table-to-table or strolling through the crowd, I’ll mingle with all your guests, performing unique and never-before-seen close-up magic and mentalism. The magic happens right before their eyes – and even in their own hands.
Perfect for breaking the ice, getting people talking, and facilitating introductions, close-up magic adds fun and surprises to any event.
I’ll make sure your guests start having fun right away as I work the crowd, “strolling” from one group of party guests to another.
Your party guests are entertained with up-close and personal magic, a few people at a time, while they are seated or standing. I usually perform during the cocktail hour or before or after the main course.
