NOTICE, Feb. 2018:
Due to Thumbtack's highly deceptive business practices and unethical behavior towards Pro vendors like myself, I am very sad to say that I am no longer bidding for your gigs on the Thumbtack website. However, you can look me up online and book me that way. In the meantime, I hope you will consider taking your business elsewhere.
Sincerely,
John Sanbonmatsu

Imagine inviting your friends to experience one of the most thrilling, astonishing, memorable evenings of their entire lives. Magician & Mentalist Méliès (pronounced "MEL-YAY") will take you and your guests on a journey into the Impossible that will leave you entertained and astonished, emotionally moved, and filled with an inexplicable and sudden joy. Or your money back.
Specializing in living room shows for grown-ups and older kids, Méliès offers a professional 60-80 minute original program featuring classic sleight of hand, jaw-dropping mind reading effects, and interactive audience fun. Every show is a shared experience of wonder and amazement--something to talk about for months afterwards. Whether for your family reunion, a 50th (or 26th, or 77th, or 18th, etc.) birthday party, a wedding anniverary (or surprise engagement), or just a night with friends, the magic of Méliès makes an already special event truly memorable!
I most enjoy meeting new people, and seeing the looks on their faces when they see something impossible occur right before their astonished eyes! Magic to me is about re-enchanting a world that has lost much of its sense of infinite possibility and wonder to the sciences. With magic, we are suddenly children again, believing that everything is possible, and that the horizon really goes on and on forever....
