Overview
I've been performing Magic, Comedy & Mystery entertainment at events & parties since 1992. I am a performer in the Close Up Galley inside the World Famous Magic Castle in Hollywood. My time tested shows are very interactive. I blend magic & mystery with lots of comedy. My strolling magic is perfect for mingling receptions, cocktail parties & whenever you need a fantastic party-starter/live-wire to shift your event into high gear. My astounding parlor & mentalism routines are carefully designed & honed to keep the audience in stitches & on the edge of their seats. My famous mystery "whodunnit" parties are as much a game as they are a show & can make your party the event of the year.

Sharpo was the best ever! We had so so much fun having him as our entertainer. He did a show for the whole party and then did more close up magic with anyone who wanted to watch. Everybody loved it, I had a ton of people come up after and say that it was the best part of the party. He was funny, professional and talented! Would book again 100%!!

Mr. Sharpo was amazing at our family party yesterday. About 40 family and friends gathered. He arrived per schedule and gave us a fantastic show. He was engaging and interactive with everyone—little kids, adults, the elders. He was thoroughly professional, fun, and captivating. Everyone loved the whole performance. If you are planning a small or large family gathering for whatever occasion, look no more. Mr. Sharpo is your man.

I hired Sharpo for my birthday murder mystery party and he was fantastic! They did some magic throughout the evening and put on a great show. He kept us all involved, interacting with everyone, dropping clues, and kept the story line moving as we tried to solve the murder mystery. We had the best time!!

We recently hosted about (50) or so friends and family for a backyard party. Sharpo was a great choice with his "strolling" magic and comedy act. I wanted the guests to interact with him and it worked great. Would definitely recommend him for your next event.

Sharpo was a fabulous addition to our party. I threw my 9 year old a Harry Potter party. I asked if he was able to do a British accent and he said he’d do his best (and it was great). I asked if he has a wizard robe and he ended up showing up with a robe and a wizard hat. He kept the children engaged and didn’t break character and was truly in theme. He was also very funny with the kids. I definitely recommend him for your event!

We had Sharpo at my husband’s birthday celebration in our backyard… about 35 folks. He did some walk around person to person magic, then a complete show for the group. He came on time, blended in seamlessly to the flow of the party and gave the event that extra special touch that everyone talked about afterwards. Very nice man, and fun! Recommended!

We had Sharpo! perform at our son’s 11th small intimate birthday party and he really exceeded our expectations. He held the kids (and adults) in rapt attention, in the palm of his hand for over an hour. They were laughing, had their minds blown, and tried hard to figure out how he achieved the cool illusions. He also adpated his act to the theme of the party. I highly recommend. You will love him.

My guests and I all had a fantastic time participating in Sharpo’s murder mystery. He indulged in our wild improvisations and kept all guests entertained with close up magic, a mysterious storyline, and funny quips. He was so personable that we all felt like good friends by the end of the night. His colleague, Matt, was a lovely addition to the night and had us in stitches. Overall Sharpo was a wonderful addition to our party.

We do a Halloween party every year with around 30 adults. Most of our friends said this one was the best one yet! Even better, I got to enjoy myself as host more than ever. Sharpo took over the whole event from engaging with the audience to producing the mystery we all tried to solve. Lots of laughs throughout. I think he learned every person’s name and made each person feel like a valued part of his act. Highly recommend Sharpo for all your party needs

We had Sharpo entertain our guests and kiddo in our backyard for his 9th Birthday party, and it was perfect! The kiddos loved it, and the adults also had a great time. After Sharpo left, my kid asked me, "Mommy, was that a comedy show, or was that a magic show?! He was GREAT!" Well done, sir! You gave us the gift of laughter and magic. Thank you so much for the great memories!
We hired Sharpo for our 7-year-old daughter’s birthday party and he did not disappoint! From card tricks and gags to more elaborate magic displays, he kept the kids (and parents) entertained. He even made balloon creatures for the kids towards the end. Highly recommend.

I can't say enough about Sharpo. I met Sharpo a few years ago, but I still remember the entertainment provided.
The strolling magic was phenomenal. Eric was entertaining and very funny. The magic was great. I could not see the moves unlike others I have seen.
The murder mystery portion of the show was truly entertaining. I enjoyed some play on words of one of characters along with getting one of the members of the venue involved in the actual "murder". The puzzles provided were in the goldilocks zone of difficulty.
I would highly recommend Sharpo!!

Eric is quite the entertainer. He came over for our son's birthday and entertained all the children and adults equally. We were all rolling on the floor. Eric knew how to strike just the right balance between entertaining the kids without ignoring the sensibilities of the adults in the room. His magic tricks left the kids scratching their heads but laughing at the same time.
