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 was absolutely outstanding and truly made our 25th wedding anniversary celebration extra special! He created a series of highly professional and amazing magical effects that captivated our guests. One of the highlights was involving our two children in a hilarious and unforgettable trick where a currency bill magically reappeared inside a lemon!
What impressed us most was Alan’s personal touch. Before developing his magic presentations, he took the time to understand our celebration and connect with us so that his performance felt personal and meaningful. Our guests were mesmerized, thoroughly entertained, and full of appreciation for his talent, professionalism, and thoughtful approach.
Alan is truly a gem—not just a talented magician, but also a wonderful person who genuinely cares about making an event memorable.
**Thank you, Alan, for everything you did to make our anniversary so magical and unforgettable. We wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking to add something truly special to their celebration!**

Alan made our 4th of July perfect. We had about 20 family members over for an outdoor bbq. Alan amazed groups of family members by walking around and performing up-close magic. Later, he presented entire magic show from our outdoor stage. Everyone was involved, laughed and Alan made this special day even more memorable. We look forward to hiring Alan again. He was on time and performed longer than expected...which was a surprising and welcome bonus. Just a total professional. Thank you Alan!

Connecting with Alan for our kid's first birthday event turned out to be one of the best decision. He has lot of tricks up his sleeve and keeps the guest entertained non stop. He was very accommodative with some of the events running over time. He did a walk around magic tricks and center stage entertainment. Everyone totally loved him. He's also good hearted and a very nice person to interact with.

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.
