About
For over 26 years, I’ve been making events fun and unforgettable with interactive magic that gets everyone involved. From making someone appear, to producing a bunny, sawing someone in half, or even levitating an audience member, my shows are packed with surprises your guests will talk about long after the event.
As a solo professional magician, I focus on engaging every age group and creating a warm, upbeat atmosphere where your guests feel part of the show—not just watching it.
I proudly back every performance with a money‑back guarantee that everyone will have a great time with me. Let’s plan a magical experience your guests will truly appreciate.

Greg was amazing! We had 17 6-7 yr olds for my daughter's birthday. He had them laughing and engaged the entire time!
Greg did a great job incorporating the birthday girl into the show. She loved helping him and being a magician too!
Greg was very professional, timely and had great communication with us for planning the party.
We highly recommend him for anyone looking to host a great party with little effort!

Greg the Great was perfect for our event! It was my daughters 8th birthday party and she loves magic. Greg had her help with many tricks which she loved. There was 10 girls for the party and Greg the Great kept them all entertained. I would recommend him to others if they are looking for a magician!

Greg came and did a Halloween, mixed age, magic show and it was loved by all. There was a great balance of humor, magic and showmanship. There was sawing, floating and animals.

Greg was AMAZING! Definitely the highlight of my son’s special day. He presented a variety that was engaging for kids of all ages, and switched things up often enough to keep/hold their attention. He even gave my son a magic kit after the performance and he’s SO EXCITED to learn magic. Would definitely hire him again!!!!

Mystifying Magic by Greg the Great was certainly a great hit for my Son’s 4th Birthday party. The kids and adults both loved the show and enjoyed it. I'm glad to have captured some of my son's reactions on pictures and videos, because they were priceless and Greg kept him engaged throughout the show. His acts kept even the younger kids engaged, and he had the older kids howling with laughter and excitement.
I would recommend Mystifying Magic by Greg the Great to everyone. Greg the Great was very punctual, professional, great with the kids, and an amazing performer! Hope to see him again next year we well. Thanks so much Greg for your performances.
