Harry Zimmerman Sensational Close-Up Magic for Corporate Events & Private Parties

Wandering Magic requires no special equipment, staging or setup. I move naturally amongst your guests, performing wherever people are gathered.

Gambling Sensations requires an intimate performance area with seating for the audience, a suitable table and adequate lighting. Specific arrangements can be discussed before the event.

The venue address, approximate number of guests, event schedule and general layout are usually all I need.

For Gambling Sensations, we'll also discuss seating arrangements and the performance space to ensure everyone enjoys the experience.

Wandering Magic is entirely self-contained and requires no sound or lighting equipment.

Gambling Sensations is designed as an intimate theatrical experience. Any additional sound or lighting requirements can be discussed when planning the performance.

I can work magic in any room.

I've had the pleasure of performing at some remarkable events and venues, including the Art Gallery of Ontario, the Rainbow Room in NYC and TIFF.
One of my most memorable experiences was a five-year residency at an intimate Toronto speakeasy. Night after night, I had the opportunity to perform extraordinary sleight of hand for people from every walk of life.
There's something wonderful about performing magic in an intimate room where the impossible happens just inches from your eyes.

I particularly enjoy sophisticated corporate receptions and intimate private celebrations.
There's a wonderful moment when a room full of separate conversations suddenly becomes a shared experience. People laugh, strangers become friends, and everyone has something extraordinary to talk about.
Those are the moments I love creating.

Me? I've spent more than 30 years exploring what can be accomplished with a deck of cards.
Along the way, I studied improvisation at Second City and performed at corporate events, private celebrations and some of Toronto's most interesting venues.
What began as a fascination with magic, became a lifelong pursuit of creating moments of genuine astonishment.
And after all these years, I'm still discovering what's possible.

I have experience, taste and charm, but we're all different in our own unique way. Having worked in the corporate world myself, I understand the importance of professionalism, discretion and knowing how to read a room.

Wandering Magic creates spontaneous moments of astonishment as I move amongst your guests, entertaining small groups with extraordinary sleight of hand and magic. Guests laugh, conversations spark and people who may have arrived as strangers suddenly have a wonderful shared experience in common. The entertainment elevates the atmosphere without interrupting the flow of the event.

For Wandering Magic, no setup or special equipment is required. I arrive approximately 15 minutes before the performance ready to go and move naturally amongst your guests for the agreed duration, typically one to two hours.

Gambling Sensations
A one-hour theatrical close-up experience. I arrive approximately 30 minutes beforehand to prepare the performance area and ensure everything is ready for the audience.

I prefer indoor events

We had the absolute BEST experience having Harry as the illusionist for my husband's casino/magic/cards-themed 30th birthday party! We originally saw Harry perform downtown Toronto and had been trying to get him to one of our events ever since. We were beyond excited to finally have him be a part of this party. Guests are still calling us saying how much fun they had and how incredible the magic and performances were all night long. He truly was the star of the show and brought such an unforgettable energy to the party. Professional, engaging, funny, and unbelievably talented. You could tell how much care and effort went into making the night special. Also, a huge thank you to his wife who was able to capture the night perfectly! We will absolutely be having them back for future events and cannot recommend them enough. If you’re thinking about booking JUST DO IT. You will not regret it!

I have a polished repertoire of routines that can be tailored to a wide variety of audiences, interests and occasions.
