Graham Rogers

Graham Rogers is a natural-born magician. Born in New Zealand, in 1965, Graham was first struck by magic at the age of seven. It made quite an impression and has been a leading actor in Graham’s life ever since. Throughout his childhood and teenage years, Graham would save his allowance and spend any spare penny on magic tricks, which he was always quick to master. Encouraged by his parents, who were creative expressionists involved in the theater, Graham began performing at parties, clubs and social events.

Graham’s natural talent for magic and affable personality quickly established him as one of New Zealand’s top magicians. By the age of 17, Graham was able to charm and beguile any audience - big or small - corporate or scholastic. In 1982, Graham won the prestigious Ricarlyn Cup for the best teenage magician at the New Zealand’s National Magician’s Convention, which was a springboard for his career in magic.

At the age of 19, Graham discovered his future mentor, Las-Vegas based Grand Illusionist Vince Carmen. After procuring much of Vince Carmen’s bag of tricks, Graham spent many years touring New Zealand perfecting his act.

For over 30 years, Graham has enlivened and entertained international audiences, and has performed at sold-out theaters and in casinos, on ships, and at restaurants, and cabarets. He can entertain for corporate functions, birthday parties, school events, trade shows, state fairs or any party large or small.

Graham’s family-friendly style can be described as relaxed, playful, humorous, engaged and compassionate - with an international flavor. He provides good clean entertainment rich with audience participation, comedy, mind-reading, and music. And of course all of the traditional modes of magic prevail: grand illusion, including levitation and sawing-in half; slight-of-hand tricks, including card and coin magic, escapes, and special effects.

Graham’s magic shows can be adapted to any audience. His performance is ubiquitously delivered with class, integrity and effortless charm (the New Zealand accent helps!). He is easy-going, and devoted to manifesting joy, amusement and creative expression by helping his audience to rejoice in the moment through laughter, participation and applause. Graham is eager to please, but whatever you don’t ask him to sing!
