Step into a world where the impossible happens right before your eyes.
Close-up magic is an intimate, high-impact experience performed just inches away, often right at your table or in a small group setting.
No big stage, no curtains, just you, your guests, and jaw-dropping sleight of hand that leaves everyone wondering, “How did that just happen?”Ideal for dinner parties, corporate receptions, and private celebrations where guests can truly connect with the performer.
John’s close-up magic isn’t about standing in the spotlight; it’s about putting your guests at the center of the experience.

Every routine is tailored to the audience in front of me, blending sleight of hand, mind reading, and quick-witted humor in a way that feels fresh, spontaneous, and deeply personal.
Every guest becomes part of the magic, holding the cards, coins, or props as miracles unfold in their hands. The combination of personal attention and impossible illusions creates a memory your guests will talk about long after the night ends.
Whether it’s a corporate mixer in San Francisco, a wedding reception in Napa, or a private celebration in Walnut Creek, John blends sleight-of-hand artistry with quick wit, creating moments your guests will talk about long after the last toast.
