He did a wonderful performance for a 50th anniversary party. He had the audience laughing and shaking their heads in amazement.

Absolutely superb and highly recommended! I hired Kourosh for my 40th birthday celebration. When I reached out a couple months ago, he communicated and listened well to what I wanted for the event, gave me several options for his act, was incredibly gregarious, and answered my million and one questions.
He kept in touch on logistics and details as the event drew near, and on the day of, he arrived early.
He is incredibly talented, funny, sharp, and a crowd pleaser. We were all left amazed and puzzled at how he pulled off the magic tricks. He wowed us all (even the more skeptical ones who now believe in the power of magic) and delivered an exceptional, seamless performance.

Kourosh was wonderful to deal with leading up to the event, and he totally amazed the guest at our dinner party. He was engaging, and a lot of fun, in addition to the incredible things he performed. Highly recommended!
Comedy Magician, Mentalist
He was not only a great and charismatic magician but a very funny and engaging performer. He has a confidence and command over the audience that puts you at ease and sets up a great time.

Kourosh is a true master of his craft. He brings a fresh, creative approach to everything he does. His great stage presence, combined with his quick wit and charm, keeps the audience hooked from start to finish. If you’re looking for a performer who can entertain and leave a lasting impression, Kourosh is your guy!

I hired K for my daughter’s birthday celebration, and the response from our guests was overwhelmingly positive. He was an absolute hit, leaving everyone amazed and thoroughly entertained. I got several compliments from parents after the birthday party complementing how impressed they were of the magician. He is a true master of his craft, and is NOT one of those cheesy "Temu/Wish" kiddy birthday party magician. His illusions and performance was so intricate, no one could figure out how they wer le done, and it truly felt like magic! 10 out of 10. I will definitely be hiring him again and would recommend booking him to anyone looking for a unique entertainment experience!

I've had the chance to watch K work his magic and mentalism more than a few times, and calling them “tricks” is like calling a gourmet meal a snack. This guy doesn’t just do magic—he straight-up bends reality. And just when you think you've seen it all, he pulls out something new that leaves you wondering if he made a deal with the devil. Believe me, K isn’t just doing tricks—he’s making the laws of physics take a coffee break. Book him now, thank me later.

Kourosh was an amazing performer for our science speakeasy event. Our guests loved it and mentioned to several staff members afterward how much they enjoyed it. Kourosh was a pleasure to work with and really made sure that we got what we needed for our event. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great, high-energy performer at their next event.

K performed at my wife's 40th birthday party and he did the most amazing tricks. He made my wife the star of the show, and she got to help him with the tricks. She loved every minute of it! He's very kind and has a great sense of humor! He showed up early and even stayed to hang out with everyone after. He was the highlight of the night! Definitely book him!
Kourosh delivered an amazing performance. He is a true master of his craft. His friendly demeanor and tolerance for partiers just added to the package. The guests went completely nuts for his act and he has been the talk of the town. I've had him entertain at several of my parties throughout the years and I'll definitely have him back for more!

Kourosh performed at our 50th wedding anniversary party. He did a great job. He's truly a master performer. I have seen Kourosh perform many times, and he never fails to amaze me. We had tables set for dinner, and after eating, Kourosh went around the tables doing card tricks, amazing things using phones, and demonstrating his unbelievable ability as a mentalist. He is very impressive, engaging people at each table up close and personal. Everyone was astonished at his performance. To see everyone's reaction was fantastic. When our guests gathered around my wife and I later in the evening, Kourosh had saved his most mind-blowing magic for us. I won't say exactly what he did, but using cards and Rubik's cubes, everyone was astonished, especially my wife and I. It was very special for the two of us, and we were even able to keep a part of it as a souvenir. Kourosh was the talk of my neighborhood for a few days after the party. If you want to give your friends a time they will never forget, have Kourosh perform at your party or event.

We attended my parents 50th anniversary party and the guests of all ages loved Kourosh’s presence! The magic tricks were incredible and by far the best I’ve ever witnessed. Kourosh is an extremely talented mentalist and your guests will be entertained, laughing and in awe throughout the event. Highly recommend booking Kourosh for your next event!

I hired K as a mentalist and magician for a family celebration. He performed an amazing show with both magic and mentalism. Our group included 3 generations, including skeptics and enthusiasts, but by the end of the performance he had WOWED the entire crowd! Our family is still trying to figure out how he worked his magic.
Additionally, K was extremely communicative leading up to the show and kept me updated about his arrival. He was very professional and I would definitely hire him again!
Mentalist, Magician
K was amazing, my employees had nothing but great things to say, and had all of us in shock! Any event you're having please reach out to him! You will not be disappointed.
Strolling/Close-up Magician
I was reluctant to book a magician due to cost but I am so glad I did! If you are having an event, I recommend you don’t skimp and hire this one. As another reviewer said, “he was worth every penny”! I threw a roaring 20s birthday party for my spouse and he was the best entertainment all night, especially since my husband is one of those guys that tries to figure out a magic trick when he sees one. The party was a cocktail-styled event, so the strolling close-up magic was perfect and he even did a special show for the birthday boy before our speeches and the birthday song. I wish I had another event planned because I would surely book him again.
Thank you so much for helping to turn my event into a memorable and magical night!

Wow! Kourosh was amazing. I was so happy and thankful that I booked him for my husbands 40th birthday party. He interacted with all 60 guests and had everyone going crazy. Highly recommend to hire hire!

We hired Kourosh to do strolling/close-up magic at my 40th birthday party and had the most amazing experience! He was kind, funny, charismatic, professional, personable, and extremely entertaining! He completely blew the minds of all of our guests. Our friends have continued to reach out to us following the party and commenting on how much they enjoyed Kourosh. Having him at the party really elevated the energy in the room and left a trail of laughter, enjoyment, and often, complete shock at his incredible tricks. Thanks to him I have such special memories from my birthday party that will last a lifetime. He is surely one of kind and I would highly recommend him to anyone. DO NOT hesitate hiring Kourosh! You will not be disappointed. Thank you Kourosh for such a special night!

Koursoh is a truly gifted professional who is engaging, funny, and seriously talented and we were so lucky to have come across him to have him attend our 10-year corporate anniversary event. We cannot recommend Kourosh highly enough. He is very kind and was very responsive in speaking with us and carving out what he felt would be a memorable event for our team. We utilized Kourosh's services to mingle with our employees during a cocktail hour - and the employees loved this! Kourosh then did a one hour magic show later in evening. Don't think twice or look any further. If you need truly professional and quality, amazing entertainment for your event that attendees will not forget, we highly recommend Kourosh.

Mind blown.
This was our first time hiring Kourosh, but definitely not our last. He was absolutely amazing.
He remembered the name of everyone that he interacted with, and for a party of 75 people that is no small task.
The crowd was full of skeptics that questioned why I would hire a magician for a 40th birthday party, but after seeing what he had to offer, multiple party goers asked for his contact info so they could hire him as well.
He moved through the party for an hour and a half, and I wasn't able to figure out a single trick, and neither could anyone else. Minds were blown!!
He performed the impossible. He had a wide range of tricks and it was fun to hear what tricks he performed for different groups of people. Everyone was reenacting what tricks he did for them hours after he left. He read minds, did amazing slight of hand and charmed the pants off of everyone that he spoke to.
I can't recommend him enough. My wife who was potentially his greatest skeptic wants to hire him again just so we can become friends with him.
I'd give more than 5 stars if it was possible.

Well...you're going to lose some sleep over Kourosh Taie. And your insomnia might last for a long time. His brand of mentalism and magic stays with you long after he leaves you. "How did he do it?" You'll be asking that again and again. You'll be calling up your guests in the middle of the night, weeks after the event—it's okay...they are awake, too, asking themselves the same thing. He really is amazing. Charismatic, dashing, quick-witted and clever-as-hell. He absolutely made our night.

Incredibly amazing.
Mentalist, Magician
This show GREATLY exceeded our expectations. Truly the best show we’ve seen and it was in our own home. Truly, just hire the man.
Mentalist, Strolling/Close-up Magician
Just a quick note to Thank You for a fantastic performance last night. I have to say it was the most brilliant show ever, and my son and I were wowed by the magic. We will definitely use you again for future events.

Kourosh performed at our wedding rehearsal dinner and was fantastic. He went around the room during the cocktail hour and the guests loved the personal interaction. He then did a couple special tricks for the bride and groom which were so nicely done. I would highly recommend Kourosh and hope to hire him again in the future. Thank you, Kourosh!

K did an amazing job with our Corp/dinner/birthday event with a large group of medical professionals! Would highly recommend!
Comedy Magician, Mentalist
I had him come to a smallish birthday party for my husbands 40th birthday. He was an amazing addition to the party! All the guests are still talking about it.

I'd had a fever dream vision of my birthday dinner party including a professional entertainer who could make us all laugh AND dazzle us with acts of illusion. There were a lot of profiles for "comedy magician" in DC, but Kourosh's GigSalad profile, website, and personalized response to my event listing stood out. He was consistently proactive about contacting me, checking in event logistics, and the fact he phoned me in the first place to establish if he was right personality for my event and friends established a lot of confidence with me.
He kept me updated on logistics and timing on the day of the party, as we has coming from another show, and he was able to accommodate that our party schedule was a bit flexible, and some of our guests late (he had a hilarious idea for a joke for when the late guests walked in during his show).
The show itself had my guests and I screaming laughing, and a couple of my friends genuinely perturbed at the powers of this "warlock" - some dazzling sleights of hand (which I won't spoil). Kourosh is clearly at ease with a big group of party goers, he gets to know them, and makes them feel included (e.g. he got me, the birthday girl, up a couple of times, as well as each of my friends to participate).
Some of my friends were initially a little puzzled at my insistence on a COMEDY MAGICIAN but they were blown away and messaging me the morning after, "That was the best party I ever went to and that magician was AMAZING."
Thanks Kourosh for helping to make my birthday so hilarious and memorable.
Comedy Magician, Mentalist
Simply put, Kourosh was amazing! Before booking him for a virtual event (a work team meeting), I knew nothing about him and didn't even watch the video on his website. So I literally had no idea what to expect. But he ended up being so fantastic. He was engaging, funny, likeable, entertaining and most importantly, had mind-blowing tricks. In addition, he had a great Zoom setup that allowed you to see his magic up close. If you are considering hiring him, do it! He will not disappoint.

WOW! Magician "K" was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G in every way. We hired him to perform at our house for a small Halloween party. I usually go all out with my Halloween parties, and really wanted to one-up myself this year since it was going to be more "low-key". I am so happy that I found Magician K for my event. He was super friendly and professional on our first call to discuss the event, and far exceeded our expectations at the event. He came early (with his custom mask on the whole time) and stayed late! He worked the party and performed numerous tricks in front of different groups of people, inside and outside by the firepit. He is unbelievably TALENTED. I honestly did not know how "believable" it would be - it was INSANE. We were all in awe, and pretty much freaking out. I must have heard "WOW" and "HOW DID HE DO THAT?!" 2000 times. We were all so happy and people are STILL talking about Magician K. I can't wait to hire him again and see more of his tricks! Thank you so much for everything, K! :)

Kourosh is a must for your next event! I've had the pleasure of watching him perform several times now and he never ceases to amaze me! He makes sure to get everyone involved, has a great sense of humor and unique performance style that will always leave you wanting more and completely blown away! His tricks are original and his execution is flawless. Including him at your event will surely be a night to remember!
Strolling/Close-up Magician
He was the life of the party- there are no words to describe how amazing K is! Everyone is still talking about him.
Strolling/Close-up Magician
We first experienced Kourosh at a wedding. We were blown away by his amazing up-close magic - performed right under your nose. Professional. Totally cool. He is also extremely charming. We hired him on the spot (no joke) to work at an event in our home - about 70 guests aged 7 to 70. Kourosh had a crowd around him the entire time. People couldn't get enough. Guests emailed and called in the days that followed to say how stupendous Kourosh was. Some people are still sending me hypotheses about how he did the magic and it is a month later...he is awesome.
Strolling/Close-up Magician
Our guests did not know we would be having a strolling magician at our party. They were very entertained and everyone thought Kourosh was fantastic!!
Strolling/Close-up Magician
He was funny, engaging and had us all guessing and saying “how did he do that?”. I highly recommend him for any event. Great job!!!
Mentalist, Strolling/Close-up Magician
Kourosh was so much fun! Kourosh was hired for a birthday party that my company planned for my client. The guest age range was from 25-70, and Kourosh was able to entertain everyone from young and old. He also did some magic that involved my client and her family which entertained all the guest. The guest really enjoyed the intimate magic that he performed throughout the crowd. My client was very pleased with the whole experience.
Strolling/Close-up Magician
Kourosh is the best magician I've seen hands down! He's super entertaining and will blow your mind with many of his magic tricks. He's got this this magic thing nailed down. Its just unbelievable that he's not more well known. I can guarantee for whatever event you book him your guests will be thoroughly entertained all while trying to involve everyone in the audience. Everyone will be talking about the magician long after the event has ended. Do yourself a favor and book him - you wont be sorry. He's the next David Blaine.
Strolling/Close-up Magician
Seriously book Kourosh for your next event. We had him perform at our rehearsal dinner and he was the hit of the event, that is after my wife and I. If you want just an okay party or event than do not book Kourosh, but if you want an awesome event that your guests will be talking about well after dust has settled than have K walk around doing interactive magic. He had our guests at the edge of their seats the entire time and his presence is casual he just interacted with our guests and worked off the energy of the room. Seeing magic on tv or on stage is one thing, but being part of the trick is just a whole new level of cool.
This is my warning to adults and children, his magic is addictive, if you take part in his magic than you'll want to go back time and time again. I highly recommend Kourosh "The Magic Man" for your next event, he is more than worth it.
Mentalist, Strolling/Close-up Magician
Kourosh not only performs brilliant, original magic; but his presentation and attitude are stellar! He is extremely personable and suave. Kourosh became the life of my event at a cost much less than I imagined, especially for the quality of his service. Definitely hire him if you are looking to entertain a crowd with something unique. I would hire him again without thinking twice!
Mentalist, Strolling/Close-up Magician
Kourosh delivers in all ways in which you would hope a magician would. He involves the audience in times which are appropriate, never leaving us bored, entertaining us between acts and always acting respectively according to what his audience wants. I've been honored to have his services at my party, leaving my guests surprised and excited at the end. His performance is classical and at the same time extraordinary, making you go back after your second guess to try to figure out his tricks (I've given up though, I wouldn't try). He makes it obvious he cares about going beyond satisfying his audience by updating his performances and delivering new shows to amaze. Not gonna lie, it helps that he's pretty good looking to add on to his talent but his skills are enough to make you want to hire him for all different kinds of events. Thanks K, for sharing your skills and humor with us.

I have watched Kourosh Taie perform magic for over three years now, and he still keeps creating new effects that astound me! His presentation is fantastic and often hilarious, and his mixture of mentalism and sleight of hand are unparalleled. I frequently invite him out to family functions and first dates... Knowing he'll make any situation entertaining and delightful. Just give him a chance to show you what he can do, or simply watch the reactions of his spectators like I love doing, and you'll know he's the real deal. Thank you so much Kourosh!
