Overview
I perform close up and strolling magic. What does that mean? I perform magic that happens right in front of you, up close! It's very engaging and exciting! You become an essential part of the magical effects. It's more personal and amazing!
I can perform at a table or simply walk around the event venue and do magic. Essentially a mobile magician if you will.
This type of magic is well suited for fairs, picnics, weddings, family gatherings or private parties.

I recently had the pleasure of having Neil perform at my birthday party, and I can confidently say that it was a magical experience! From the moment he arrived, he brought an incredible energy and charisma that set the tone for the entire evening. What I really appreciated was how interactive and engaging the performance was. The kids loved it, and the adults were just as amazed — I've never seen so many people so excited about magic! On top of his amazing skills, he was super friendly and professional. He arrived on time, was fully prepared, and adapted to the vibe of the party. It was clear that he genuinely enjoys what he does, which made the performance even more enjoyable.

Response from The Magic of Neil:
A big thank you to you and your family for inviting me into your home.

Neil did a fantastic job! He arrived early to do sound checks and he said overtime and "worked the crowd" a bit with some of his up-close magic. Ours was a large crowd -outdoor performance and was very well received. He worked "locals" into his act which enhanced the evening. Highly recommended!!

What to Expect
I perform magic where I walk around a venue doing magic close up. I also can do magic at a table or a picnic table. I'm essentially a mobile magician if you will!
If you hire me you will get a funny, clever and very personable and likeable guy that's easy to work with and flexible.
About
Hi! I'm so glad you stopped by to read a bit about me. I have been performing magic for 15 years. I have performed all over the US and even in abroad. I have done birthday parties, senior centers, outdoor fairs and farmers markets and corporate venues.
I was active-duty Air Force for 23 years and I worked for the airlines for six years. I honed my magic skills in both those jobs. I grew up all over the world: Africa, Philippines, Laos, Spain and Italy so I consider myself a well-rounded person.
My goal is to make YOUR event dynamic, memorable and fun. I look forward to establishing a great working relationship with you.
Thank you. Neil
Additional Booking Notes
I have my own equipment and sound system so that's not usually a problem.
