Introduction: Hello and thank you for inquiring about Sly's Magic. I will entertain you and your guests with HIGH-QUALITY magic, humor, and respect. The type you might see on Americas Got Talent or Masters of Illusion. What I offer is NOT your average walk-around or stand-up magic. I find many magicians treat their audiences as less than intelligent, which can be insulting. I refrain from using silly props that most magicians use. Everyday familiar objects are used which requires years of training. Things will appear, vanish, multiply, move from one place to another, transform into something else, solid will penetrate solid and much more. Much of the magic actually happens right in the guests own hands. In addition, I get as many of the guests involved in the magic as I can, to make it personal and memorable for all. With me, you will not sacrifice QUALITY, EXPERIENCE, RELIABILITY, FLEXIBILITY or COMMUNICATIONS to name a few. The bottom line is this, if you are looking for the BEST VALUE then look no further than SLY'S MAGIC! Let's take time for a short phone call to discuss your event so we can make it the most AWESOME one ever! Sly aka Alec

From Google

Sly is an amazing magician and overall very friendly/personable guy! My wife and I are so happy we hired him -- we first went to see him at a show and were blown away by his performance. He even made time to chat with us after the show, and we told him we'd love to have him at our wedding.Our wedding guests were very impressed with his magic tricks, and he also came to our holding room to perform a special trick (which resulted in a keepsake for us)!

Sly entertained our adult (aged 24-60) birthday party. He mingled with small groups performing sleight of hand tricks flawlessly. My guests were amazed. Would recommend Sly's Magic for your next gathering or party.

Details: Birthday party • Walk around magic • Balloon twisting • 11 - 20 guests • 18 or older • Private residence (indoors)

He is really, really good at magic. We were all super impressed with the sleight of hand he was able to pull off right before our eyes. And when I say "right before our eyes" I truly mean it. We were a small intimate group of 8 and he was only 10 feet away from us, as opposed to being on a stage, and we could very clearly see him, but obviously did not see everything he did (the trickery part.). Also, our group ranged in age from 15 to 80 and everyone of us were equally impressed and entertained. Definitely recommend him.

Details: Birthday party • Close up magic show • 1 - 10 guests • 18 or older • Party host • Private residence (indoors) • $$ (standard) • Under $200

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Sly's Magic is the best value in the Washington D.C. metro area. You get high-quality magical entertainment for a very reasonable price. Discounts may be available for certain situations
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Once the initial contact is made through Thumbtack, we set-up a day and time that is convenient for you for a short phone conversation. We will discuss the event to make sure we know what you want. We ask questions such as whether food will be served, will there be any announcements at the event, what kind of space will there be, etc. We also want to make sure you ask any questions of us so there will be no surprises. It's very important to us for you to be confident in knowing you will get the best experience possible.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I attended the School of Experience. Self-taught so I don't do the same old thing that every other magician does.
