We had Lelando at a family retreat for kids and teens with disabilities. He was great to work with, quick communication, and tons of fun for the kids. He did his show plus balloon making! The kids and parents loved him! We will definitely have him back in the future!

It was honestly one of my favorite gigs ever! Thanks so much for the kind words, and I look forward to entertaining your group again!
Lelando literally made our daughter’s 5th birthday magical! He not only had every child laughing and smiling for 2 straight hours (I did not know that was humanly possible; that is magic unto itself if you are a parent), but all the parents were glued to his performance and asked for his information so they could make their next party just as special! The magic was in a word amazing! And he made balloon art too! He does it all! Thank you Lelando for you art and creativity. You are pure magic!!!

Thanks so much for the kind words. I really had so much fun performing for your guests, I'm glad they did, too. Thanks again. -Lelando
Lelando performed at my son’s 6th birthday party. The kids were in Absolute awe, couldn’t stop laughing. They absolutely loved the show. Lelando also did balloon twisting for the kids and everyone were amazed by his talent and patience. Lelando arrived earlier to set up and was just so awesome during the entire event. All parents complimented us on booking Lelando for this party and my little birthday boy wouldn’t stop talking about his party!

Lelando was absolutely incredible at our daughter’s birthday party! He captivated the kids with his amazing balloon twisting skills and warm, friendly personality. The children were completely engaged, and their laughter and excitement filled the room throughout his performance.
He went above and beyond to make our birthday girl feel special, creating beautiful and creative balloon designs that brought her so much joy. His ability to entertain while keeping the party lively and fun impressed all the parents as well.
Lelando’s professionalism and kindness truly made our event unforgettable. We would love to book him again for future parties and highly recommend him to anyone looking to add something magical to their celebration!

Lelando was a great fit for our anniversary event. The kids from little to early high school had fun with his creations. Lelando was also very accommodating to work with our event schedule and provide advice about how many children could be entertained per hour.

Lelando the Magician and Balloon Twister performed at our Military Appreciation Day. We had 100s of families turn out with their children. Lelando was a big hit, with lines all day for his performance. He was great with the kids, and was a highlight of the event. We would definitely have him back.

Lelando performed a 40 minute magic show and created animal balloons for our 8 year old daughters birthday party. He was really patient with the children and kept the kids engaged.
His animal balloons are amazing (he can do some really complicated ones) as well as some really cute animal balloon bracelets. His balloons lasted for a long time too (for those children who were careful with them) and were great quality. I highly recommend him for birthday parties or other fun events.

We had Leland MC our 50th anniversary party for my parents. He did an amazing job. He was prepared, and professional. He led the evening with our version of the Newly Wed game and our walk down memory lane. He did excellent with the material we gave him. Everyone was entertained and happy with his delivery. He made the night a special time for all of us.
I highly recommend Leland for whatever your needs as he is flexible and easy to work with. I am so happy to have worked with him.

Thanks so much! I had a great time twisting for the kids! So much fun!
Lelando did balloon twisting for our 5 year old's birthday party at a playground and did a great job managing the line of kids and guiding them to select animals that wouldn't take 20 minutes a piece to twist :)

Strolling/Close-up Magician
Everyone loved watching him perform
Strolling/Close-up Magician
Lelando we fantastic. He brings a great sense of humor to his performance. Due to space constrains we needed customized magic where he directly engaged with people in small groups. He did fantastic!!! There are always a few people in the crowd that seem to not be big on magic, but Lelando charmed them and made fans of everyone.
We would totally hire him again, he is fantastic to work with,

Thank you for the incredibly kind words. I had so much fun with your group, and I'm so glad I was able to help make the event a memorable one. I look forward to entertaining you again down the road. :-D
Lelando did an amazing job. The event we had was an outdoor event, and of course mother nature had other plans. The wind was unrelenting, and was wreaking havoc on his setup. Lelando worked through the adversity and put on a great show for our Community Picnic. He performed for over 50 children and many more adults. The show had great content and really amazing tricks. Our organization will gladly use him again.

Thank you so much for your kind words, John. Once we got past the wind and rain, it was a really fun show and a great crowd. Can't wait for our next event!
Booking Info
Price Range: $150 and up
What to Expect
Before we book your event, I will ask you plenty of questions, to be sure that I am the right entertainer for your event, and to be sure that I know exactly what you want. By the time your event arrives, you'll know exactly what to expect. Most importantly, I know that my job is not nearly as much about the magic of sleight-of-hand as it is the magic of helping your guests have the best time possible. And in the end, that's exactly what you can expect!
About
Lelando has been performing for audiences for the better part of four decades! His experiences include countless hours on stage as an actor, musician, and emcee, long before he ever took up magic. As such, he is not just another magician and balloon twister, he is a true entertainer and performer, who blends these skills into an unforgettable experience.
Additional Booking Notes
If we are booking a stage-show, please communicate with me about your venue and what items you already have on-hand for Lighting, Sound, and Staging.
If the venue has its own sound system and an operator (sound tech), I'll need the ability to plug in a wireless mic system (XLR preferred, 1/4" capable) and an MP3 player (1/8" Stereo headphone-style plug).
If the venue cannot provide sound, I can bring my own small PA system, which will comfortably support an audience of up to ~100 people.
As noted elsewhere, for stage shows, I require a space approximately 10' wide and 6' deep. Your 'Stage' doesn't necessarily have to be a real stage; it can be one end of your living room or patio, and I can bring my own curtain backdrop. If you are uncertain, contact me to discuss the area (sending photos of the space will help, too), so we can make sure I'm prepared with a show that will work in your space!
Setup Requirements
When performing a stage show, I don't actually require a real stage, per se. If your event is in the home or office, it could be as simple as being one end of a room.
When not using a real stage, I will bring a curtain backdrop.
Please have an accessible power outlet within 5' of the stage.
Minimum area needed for the 'stage' is 10' wide by 6' deep.
