Hire Star Newman - Comedy Magician in Sarasota, Florida (gigsalad.com) You were truly the Star at our birthday party! This was a celebration for the family matriarch turning 85 years young and the audience consisted of seniors, adult children, and teenage grandchildren. You performed all forms of fantastic magic throughout the evening involving everyone yet faded to the side during the dinner courses. Because of your research efforts you instantly became one of the family and were loved by all. We never felt like you were "on the clock".
I am more than willing to offer a personal reference to anyone considering you as the perfect enhancement to their event. Thank you from the entire Delaney family. ( Feel free to use any part of this as review comments).

What to Expect
Upbeat and clean performances that engage the audience on multiple levels. No two shows are alike but all feature strong and unique magic and mentalism. I will tailor the show to your group and needs. Are you looking for an energizing wake-up to start a conference or a more nuanced performance that keeps your guests thinking and talking long after the show has ended? For strolling magic are you seeking a social spark to help connect strangers, or if your guests see each other every day let's give them something new and different to engage in. Let me know what you are looking for and if I don't offer it perhaps someone in my network does.

Influences & Inspiration
The majority of influences I have do not come from the world of magic. I am insatiably curious and a voracious reader. Malcolm Gladwell is a favorite as he can make the most mundane things fascinating, QuestLove is divine at recognizing and curating cultural experiences. I admire Audrey Hepburn, Robin Williams, San Francisco, and the movie Amelie. I hold a BA in Theater with an emphasis on acting, playwriting, and set design.
