Introduction: Hi. My name is Rob Mendell.
I'm a magician who lives in Chicago and performs interactive close-up entertainment with playing cards. I've been doing this since 1973, and I love what I do. If you want your guests to feel like they are magical, invite me to perform at your upcoming event to stroll and mingle with my cards. I don't perform as a show-off; I re-introduce your guests to their own sense of wonder. It's a very fun, memorable and engaging way to bring people together.
My corporate clients include these and many more:
* Blue Book Services
* Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois
* Chicago Mercantile Exchange Group
* Children's Memorial Hospital
* LUSH Cosmetics
* Marbles, the brain store
* McCann Window and Exteriors
* Novak and Parker Appliances
* Office of the Cook County Public Defender
* Regional Transportation Authority
* WineStyles
I perform at all kinds of events, gatherings, parties and celebrations.
I've had the honor and pleasure of performing in "Magician's Corner" at Covent Garden in London, England, one of the most famous street performance meccas of the world.

"Not only were his tricks entertaining and amazing, but he was really enjoyable to be around. The cool thing about Rob was that, as a performer, instead of being the life of the party and capturing the show, he created a life of a party by getting people more involved and engaged with one another and that was way more valuable than anything I could have asked for. Rob exceeded my expectations above and beyond. I would have him back to do more tricks in a heartbeat."
- Jaclyn Jones, Owner of Indigo Yoga Studio
What makes me different from some other magicians? I'm not here to fool you, but to offer you the feeling of being magical. Everything I do is interactive and you are integral to the amazement, in ways that are respectful, friendly, clean, and intelligent. For some performances, I can customize one or more of my effects so your name (or product or school, etc.) shows up in the act. And for some parties, I include a teaching segment if you think it would be enjoyable for your guests.
What are you planning? Contact me, and let's give your guests a fun experience they will remember for a long time.
