Sacramento Corporate Magician & Mentalist
I live here. That is the short version of why this page exists.
Comedy magic and mind reading, built so your people end up in the show rather than watching it.

Corporate Entertainment in Sacramento
A CORPORATE RECEPTION, MID SHOW
Fifteen years and more than a hundred corporate events, a good share of them right here in the region. The events I am usually booked for look like this:
Company holiday parties
December is the busiest month of my year, and Sacramento venues fill early. The show typically runs about 45 minutes after dinner, which is the exact stretch where a party either takes off or quietly fizzles near the bar.
Client and customer appreciation
Your guests get something they did not expect and cannot buy for themselves, and it reflects on you as the host.
Company meetings and sales kickoffs
Long agendas wear a room down. I come in where attention is flagging and reset it, so whatever is scheduled next actually lands.
Award nights and anniversaries
Recognition evenings run long. Entertainment between segments keeps the room warm so the awards land properly.
Sacramento Mentalist: Mind Reading Inside the Show
People increasingly search for a Sacramento mentalist rather than a magician, and it is worth explaining what that actually gets you.
Mind reading is a genuine part of every show I perform. Not a card trick with a mysterious name attached, but real mentalism, where I turn choices people believed were private into the moment everyone talks about afterward.
I should be straight about the mix. I am a comedy magician first. Mentalism is woven through the show rather than replacing it.
What Hiring Someone Local Actually Saves You
No travel Line on the invoice
A performer coming from the Bay Area is pricing in a round trip, and sometimes a hotel room. Being local takes that off the quote entirely.
No weather-and-traffic risk
A 5pm event on a Friday means a Bay Area act is sitting on the causeway hoping. I am twenty minutes away.
I can come and look at the room
If your venue has an awkward layout, I would rather see it in advance than discover it at 6pm on the night
I can talk to your venue directly
Most planners would rather not be the go-between on where the show sets up and what the sound situation is.
I know the rooms
Downtown hotel ballrooms, the country clubs, the winery spaces out toward the foothills. Each has its own quirks.

Questions Sacramento Planners Ask
Do you charge travel for events in the Sacramento area?
No. Sacramento is home, so there is no travel charge anywhere in the region. That alone is often the difference between me and an equivalent act coming from the Bay Area.
How far in advance should I book?
For November and December, four to six months, which means starting in the summer. Sacramento venues and entertainers both fill their holiday calendars early. For the rest of the year, six to eight weeks is usually comfortable.
How many guests does this work for?
Anywhere from about 25 up to several hundred. I have performed for rooms of 250 seated guests and for small executive dinners. The format changes with the size, so tell me the guest count and I will tell you what fits.
Is the material appropriate for a work event?
Completely. No off-color material, nothing political, and nobody is made the butt of the joke. Volunteers come back to their table looking good, which is exactly why the next person puts their hand up.
Do you provide sound?
I bring a wireless microphone and my own mixer. For a larger room the first question is whether you are having a DJ, because if so I can run through their system. If not, I will tell you exactly what to rent so you do not over-buy.
Check Availability for Your Sacramento Event
Tell me the date, roughly how many guests, and what you want the night to do. I will come back with honest options, including whether I think I am the right fit.
