Vancouver's only corporate magician who does the whole night — close-up mingling magic, a high-energy game show moment before dinner, MC hosting, and a fully interactive stage show. One performer, no dead air, and a complete evening arc that no other entertainer in Vancouver can offer.
The magic doesn't happen on a stage. It happens in your guests' hands — and that's what makes it unforgettable. While a DJ plays music people stand near and a photo booth sits in a corner waiting to be used, Kel moves through the room group by group, walking up to your guests personally, looking them in the eye, and creating a moment they can't explain. Someone makes a card vanish in their own hands and has absolutely no idea how they did it. That moment — the gasp, the laughter, the look on their face — spreads through the room. By the time dinner starts, people who didn't know each other are talking. People who've worked together for years are seeing each other differently. That energy carries through the whole night.
Here's what a full evening with Kel looks like:
Cocktail hour — Kel moves through the room doing close-up magic for every group. Guests aren't watching a show. They're doing it. The magic happens in their hands, not his. This is the moment people get off work mode and into social mode, and it happens fast.
Party Master — Right before dinner, Kel takes five minutes to get every single person in the room laughing and involved at the same time. This is an original interactive game show moment Kel created himself. It's the transition point that shifts the energy from cocktail hour into dinner — and it never fails to stop the room. Watch it live at kelmodernmagic.com.
MC through dinner — Kel runs the room through dinner. Warm, present, and in tune with the crowd. No awkward pauses, no dead air, no amateur MC reading off a phone. With 25 years of live performance experience, Kel knows how to read a room, hold a room, and bring a room back when it drifts. That's not something you can fake and it's not something you can Google.
The evening show — After dinner, Kel performs a fully interactive 45-minute stage show combining visual magic, mentalism, and live audience participation. This isn't a show where you watch someone do tricks. Volunteers come up, things happen in their hands, and the whole room is part of it. 100% clean, 100% corporate appropriate, and built to work for every demographic in your audience — from the CEO to the new hire who just started last week.
Clients say the same thing the morning after: they had no idea it would be like that.

Whatever event you have in mind, Magic just makes it so much better! Sound fun?
I started magic when I was about 17 years old as I wanted to escape from my own reality into a fantasy world where literally anything is possible where the magic world resides. I then realized as I started performing for people, everyone is looking to escape in their own way and I'm blessed to take people out of their reality, even if it's for a split second. What am I even saying? Yes, I'm a magic nerd.
