About
With over 40 years of experience, I bring fun, laughter, and amazement to both children’s and adult parties. My comedy magic show features interactive magic, lighthearted humor, and a touch of mind reading that keeps guests of all ages engaged.
I travel fully self-contained, providing my own lighting, sound, and backdrop so you can relax and enjoy the show. As a solo entertainer, I personally handle every detail to ensure a smooth, professional experience from start to finish.
If you’re looking for family-friendly entertainment that’s memorable, easy to host, and truly magical, I’d be happy to help make your event special.

Roger was professional, easy to communicate with, and arrived on time for our daughter’s 5th birthday party. He was friendly with the children and helped add something unique to the celebration. The kids especially enjoyed being chosen to participate in some of the magic tricks, and several were excited to talk about their favorite moments afterward.
If you’re looking to add a live entertainment element to a children’s party, Roger is dependable and easy to work with. We appreciated his professionalism and the effort he put into making our daughter’s birthday feel special.

We had the absolute BEST experience with professional magician Roger Wayne at my daughter's 4th birthday party! 🎩✨ Roger was fantastic from start to finish—professional, entertaining, and truly engaging. He had the entire audience involved, and you could tell he’s a true performer who knows how to keep both kids and adults captivated. He made her birthday extra special, and I would absolutely hire him again! If you’re looking for a magician for your next party or event, I highly recommend Roger Wayne. I’ve already encouraged others to hire him, too!

I will give discounts if more than one show is booked in that area on the same day.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I will contact you by email or text. When we work out the details I will send you an agreement.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been performing full time for over thirty years. I had the largest illusion show in a three state area for thirty years.

My show is family friendly and a lot of fun for children and adults.
