Magic Sparkes

Step into a world of mystery, magic, and just a touch of mayhem! I’m here to entertain, amaze, and leave you with a sense of wonder that goes beyond the classic card trick. My magic is family-friendly but crafted for mature audiences who are ready to be truly mystified.
Specializing in mind-reading and mentalism, I create effects that stimulate the intellect and inspire awe. With a show centered around unique performances—including celebrity and movie-inspired illusions—I’ll bring you experiences you won’t find anywhere else. And, because audience participation is key, you can expect to be part of the magic in a way that feels thrilling and respectful. My goal? To have every person in the room laughing, gasping, and feeling completely enchanted.
My performances are a blend of traditional and innovative magic that ramps up the excitement. I start with a bang, launching into tried-and-true favorites, before shifting to deeper, mind-bending tricks that leave you scratching your head. While some effects are inspired by the greats, they’re meticulously crafted and personalized—like a secret recipe that holds delightful surprises.
Here’s my philosophy: if I can figure out how a trick is done, I don’t perform it. Only the most mind-boggling, smile-inducing, and utterly mystifying illusions make the cut. Every effect may not be big in size, but each one is designed to have an enormous impact. So, come prepared to be spellbound—this is magic that will keep you guessing and coming back for more!

After nearly 40 years in the corporate world, I had an epiphany: I’m happiest working for myself! Now, I’m my own boss (and definitely the best one I’ve ever had). As a magician, I get to combine my love for travel and meeting fascinating people with the joy of entertaining—and few things make me happier than bringing magic into people’s lives.
Although I’ve been performing magic most of my life, my “retirement” from corporate America has allowed me to pursue Mystery, Magic, and Mayhem on a whole new level. I regularly perform for adult birthday parties, corporate events, and other gatherings, bringing a mix of mind-bending tricks, laughs, and unforgettable moments.
When I’m not performing, I’m often spending time with family, traveling, indulging my passion for photography and "insulting." Yes, insulting ... You've heard of "consultants," well I take it to another level! I get paid to tell companies what they are doing wrong! "Hey, that is the stupidest thing I have ever seen. No one will buy it. Fix it and pay me!" So that's a pretty good gig!
Okay, the truth is I consult, and I try to help the companies that made me a rock star at my corporate job become rock stars too. I am often hired to perform "magic" at trade shows and conventions. I do not hard sell, but rather, I engage and interact with people. I love establishing genuine interactions regardless of business opportunity or outcome. Magic is a friendly ice breaker and sometimes it opens doors that would otherwise remain closed.
Besides all that I am happy to say my wife and I have two wonderful grandkids, a son who lives nearby, and a daughter who lives out of state. I grew up in Federal Way, Washington and the Puget Sound region remains my lifelong home.

If required, I have and can bring my own PA speaker and microphone.
