About
My work stands out for a couple of reasons. Unlike a lot of other magicians, I don't use big, flashy props. I entertain using ordinary looking objects and my 20+ years of sleight of hand practice. I feel like this enhances the experience because the audience can understand and relate to what is happening on stage. Also, my show has a very small footprint (usually I only need room for a small table and myself) so I can perform almost anywhere! My favorite thing about my job is being able to show people something they've never seen before. Or, even better, being able to show them something that they see everyday in a whole new way. I get to demonstrate that given the right point of view, there's wonder all around us.

Eric was fabulous! I hired Eric to perform "strolling magician" tricks at my son's first birthday. He was fantastic at entertaining everyone! Children and adults were all equally in awe of his magic! I would recommend him to anyone! Thank you Eric!

Eric did an amazing job at our 6 and 3 year old's joint party. His magic show and the tricks he did we're perfect for the age groups we had and he kept everyone's attention, even the adults! He kept all the kids entertained, made sure they all were a part of the show, and really put on an outstanding show. Would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a great, friendly, and entertaining magician.

Eric did a phenomenal job as the magician for our daughter's fifth birthday party! His show was right on their level and he captivated their attention from start to finish. His magic tricks got many laughs from the kids and they were all eager to participate! Thanks to Eric, our daughter and her friends all had a great celebration! He was even willing to perform outside, which made me one happy mom!

Eric performed at our community center's Halloween Party this afternoon. We had a mix of kids (ages 1 yr to 12 yrs old) and adults. Eric was very engaging and his tricks held everyone's attention. He involved several kids in the show and even tailored a few tricks for the Halloween theme. The trick with the balls shaped liked pumpkins was hilarious and the kids were laughing so hard. The trick with napkin mouse was great too! Thanks so much for a wonderful show at our party! Would definitely recommend Eric to anyone looking for a magician!

FAQs

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    I've been studying magic ever since I was 12 years old. I also have a degree in psychology which comes in handy with magic.

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    I've performed for a wide variety of audiences from comedy clubs to family gatherings. I have shows appropriate for sophisticated adult audiences, and for audiences with a mix of kids and adults.

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    Communication is very important. Give the performer as many details as you can about the event and who the audience will be. Also check reviews from past clients. Those are probably the best way to tell if a performer is right for you.
