Introduction: For nearly thirty five years, Eric has been delighting audiences with his creative and hilarious performance of comedy and award winning magic and illusion.
Eric is an accomplished comedian and magician, a veteran of hundreds of venues including comedy clubs, theaters and college campuses, as well as numerous television appearances.

He has been the opening act for many musical artists including Kenny Loggins, Engelbert Humperdinck, Peter Yarrow (of Peter Paul & Mary), jazz stars Peter White, Walter Beasley among others.
His performing has opened the door for his travels throughout Latin America including Mexico and Guatemala, a couple of countries in Europe, a dozen different island nations in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico, and nine different cities in two weeks as he traveled and performed in the nation of Cuba. Most recently Eric spent nearly two weeks in the West African nation of Burkina Faso where he visited and entertained the poorest of the indigenous residents in nearly a dozen small, primitive villages.

To deliver joy and laughter to an audience of any size is a great gift. I have performed for crowds of more than 3000 people to as few as one or two at a small table. Audiences of every age group and from every facet of life enjoy The Magic & Comedy of Eric Thompson.
