Photo of Kazar The Timewave Wizard Kazar The Timewave Wizard "Great magic! Kazar kept the audience engaged, laughing and mystified!" Based in Chicago, Illinois 25th November 2025 Steve K - Adult Birthday Party Photo of Edd Fairman, Wizard of Sorts Edd Fairman, Wizard of Sorts "Edd performed for my daughter's birthday party (6yo/kindergarten). The kids and the adults enjoyed the show. It was funny, interactive, and interesting. The kids laughed throughout and had fun participating in the tricks. He was easy to work with, prompt to set up, and even stayed longer to accommodate all of the kids and their balloon animal choices. I highly recommend Edd and his magic show!" Based in Chicago, Illinois Katie K - 6 year old Birthday Party Photo of Zack Percell of TnZ Magic Zack Percell of TnZ Magic "Zack came to our Elementary School today and performed for our 400 students ages 5 to 10. The kids (and staff) LOVED his show! He was very engaging with the kids, and they were amazed by his magic! He interacted with the kids in the audience, and a few lucky students and teachers were able to assist with the magic tricks, which they all loved! Thank you for the wonderful entertainment!" Based in Rockford, Illinois (80 miles from Chicago) Courtney Coulthard - School admin Photo of Magic by Eric Bedard Magic by Eric Bedard "Eric performed strolling walk around Magic during cocktails, which blew everyone away. Eric is charming, funny and his light hand is impeccable. I thought we only could see this level of magic on America’s got talent. After our sit down dinner, Eric at the stage for a fast paced one hour show that was full of comedy, razor, Sharp, wet, and mind-boggling Magic. Highly recommended."

I heard laughter and sounds of surprise and delight in our lunchroom that I have never heard before. He was on-time, professional, and extremely talented! I would love to have him back again." Based in Columbus, Ohio (276 miles from Chicago) Mary Strout - Corporate Event Photo of Brian Masters | Magician Brian Masters | Magician "Oh my goodness, Brian is amazing!!! I booked him for the cocktail hour at my wedding 8/20/22 to have him moving around interacting with guests. I can’t tell you how many people complimented me about how mind blowing Brian’s performances were. Everyone thought he was professional, king and highly entertaining. He was SUCH a unique touch to our wedding day. I also really appreciated that he stuck around until the bridal party finally arrived and sat down and gave us our own little personal performance. He may have been my favorite part of my wedding day (aside from getting married of course lol)." Based in Cleveland, Ohio (308 miles from Chicago) Alison F. - Wedding

Stage magic is better suited to larger audiences where the performance is the main focus.

Performance length varies depending on the type of magic and the event format. A close-up magician typically works a room for one to two hours, while a stage show usually lasts between 30 and 60 minutes. It is worth discussing your event schedule with the magician.
