About
I’m Alan—a magician who believes the real magic isn’t in the tricks, but in the moments we create together. Whether I’m mingling through a crowd or captivating a room from the stage, my goal is to spark laughter, curiosity, and those wide-eyed “how did that happen?” expressions that bring people closer.
I customize every performance using psychology, storytelling, and audience involvement so your guests feel seen, engaged, and part of the wonder. From private parties to events for Google and Amazon, I create experiences people remember long after the night ends.
My goal is to make your event seamless, memorable, and filled with moments of shared wonder your guests won’t soon forget.

Alan is great! Easy to work with and very reasonably priced. We hired him for our 25th wedding anniversary party. It was a small group - 22 people - and he entertained everyone while people were arriving and mingling and then after lunch put on a great show for everyone. He was funny and talented.

Alan was a delight - funny, talented, and entertaining. He performed a special show for my girlfriend on our anniversary and he more than wowed her with his savvy and timing and the sophistication of his banter and his magic. Thanks, Alan!

Alan made our Company Party a BLAST! He's incredibly funny, personable, and accommodating. He worked with us to personalize his performance for us, helped us figure out logistics, and gave a wonderful performance that everyone loved and is still talking about weeks later. If you are looking for fun, memorable entertainment, I cannot recommend Alan Leeds Magical Entertainment enough! A+++

We hired Alan for a company event and he was AWESOME. Super professional, easy to work with, flexible and creative (he taylored the show to our product). Our employees loved it and asked to have him perform again. Thanks Alan!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I do not have a standard set price for my services. My fee is dependent upon the type of magic (close-up, stage, or parlor) requested, the length of service, and the distance I travel to the client's location.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I start by asking a new client what they would like for their event. Do they want audience participation, a stage show, or the more intimate feel of close up magic? Once certain parameters have been established, I like to discuss how the show can be customized for their event; I can provide poker chips with the name of the event on them as souvenirs of the magical experience.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians and the Society of American Magicians, where we have monthly meetings to share ideas and work on effects with other magicians. In 2013 & 2014, I won first place in the Bay Area close up competition. In 2017, I won first place at the Oakland Magic Circle Northern California Stage Magic Competition.
