I met Nick out and about in the Chicago area and we randomly struck up a conversation. Besides being a friendly and interesting guy, Nick is an INCREDIBLE magician. He seamlessly worked a magic trick into the conversation and it completely blew my mind! Then a few moments later he did another trick that was just as stunning. Unbelievable work, so talented!! Not to mention just a nice, personable guy.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer two formats. The Show: a 50-minute interactive mind reading and magic show for the whole room, ideal for adult birthdays, dinner parties and corporate events (great for 10 to 60 guests). Strolling Close-Up Mentalism: I move through your party performing for small groups, booked by the hour, perfect for cocktail hours and mixers. Many hosts combine both: strolling as guests arrive, then the show after dinner. A 50% deposit reserves your date.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Send me your date, town and approximate guest count. I reply within 24 hours with availability and a quote, and we talk through the format that fits your party. A 50% deposit reserves your date, with the balance due the day of the event.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I discovered magic at age 11 in Washington, D.C., kept performing through college at the University of Illinois, and have been performing mentalism and magic professionally for 25+ years. Today my focus is mind reading and psychological illusion, and I was recently featured on WGN-TV.
