Maryland Magician News
In January
Regrettably we aren't finding many public performances for magicians in January
We will try to keep you posted here
as we get more information on local performances

The Maryland Magicians website was created to help you
Find the best Maryland Magician for your event
In the past month we have seen more new "magicians" than ever come out of the woodwork
and we've seen things that are a little concerning (being a professional magician is a tough career)

For example one young man who doesn't have an actual show is advertising for corporate work
Only the best are suited for corporate work, the pay can be attractive but you must have a great show
He'll never get hired due to how his promo picture looks (like a young kid without a real, professional show) but .....

Another young man brags about having 200 shows under his belt.......
.... 200 shows is what professional magicians perform in a slow year

There are a good selection of great Magicians available to perform for you
in Maryland, DC, Virginia and Pennsylvania

We suggest hiring magicians reviewed here on Maryland Magicians
Check out the website of the Maryland Magician you are interested in hiring
and then call or email to speak with them and see if they will be a good fit for you and your event
View their videos and get a feel if their magic and presentation style will be right for your event

		Illusions By Vick - Considered by the public and his pears as one of the area's premier performers, Illusions by Vick creates something far and away different from the "rabbit out of a hat, hey look at me and what I am doing" type magician. Featuring original works and classics of magic in a intellectually stimulating and emotionally engaging show. Intriguing stories are presented through amazing and beautiful illusions and effects, joining the audience on a journey to a unique and special place. Vick also performs a Mentalist Show that focuses on the audience and finding untapped abilities they may possess. The Gigmaster Talent Agency rates Illusions by Vick the Top Act in Maryland & Washington DC out of over 270 magicians they represent in the USA! and CBS recently named Illusions by Vick a top 5 magician
		Mike Rose - Mike Rose performances are very interactive and full of his refreshing quick wit and adroit by-play with the audience. Over 20 years performance experience and a very knowledgeable magic historian. Features off beat magic with Twinkies, a toaster and more. Mike is a true profession entertainer and great at both close up and parlor entertainment.
		Michael Cantor - We saw Michael performing impromptu at a local magic shop recently and he is truly an amazing performer. Beyond being a talented magician Michael recently wrote a book on magic that reveals an interesting and refreshing perspective on the art. Very personable and knowledgeable (on many subjects besides magic) Michael is also a builder of high quality magical apparatus As well as being an accomplished sleight of hand artist.
		Spencer Horsman - Spencer takes the stage (and bar) At Illusions Bar & Theater in Federal Hill Every Friday and Saturday Night at 9:00 pm Illusions Bar is one of the most beautiful nightclubs you will ever enjoy and Spencer puts on a great show on the bar stage and quite possibly at your table or when behind the bar Magic has been Spencer's life and the show is both amazing and hilarious Spencer and the club are both influenced by the 1930's & 40's (There's a life size Bogart when you enter the bar) You'll have to have a night out to enjoy Spencer performance but it's worth the trip!
		Joseph De Paul - Joe has been hard at work honing his act in comedy clubs and other venues. What has come out of all that hard work is a solid show! Very entertaining, well presented and a cool personality Joe is based in Virginia but travels often to Maryland

Warning, David is one of the most high energy shows You are ever going to see!
		Horn's Punch and Judy Show - Guaranteed to tickle everyone's funny bone! Magician and master puppeteer Professor Horn and his celebrated Punch & Judy puppet show. This farcical puppet play began more than 100 years ago in Baltimore and is a piece of Maryland's colorful history - not to mention hilarious fun. Called the "Best Kid Show Entertainer in Maryland" by nationally renowned children's entertainer Silly Billy
		Peter Wood - Shamzam Magic Peter has good experience and performs an excellent children's show. Typically Peter's show lasts about 40 minutes Can include Casper the Magical Bunny and other amazing effects. Contact Peter for rates and availability.

He has shows designed for specific age groups; e.g., a comedy magic-and-puppet show for ages 4 and up; a show-and-lesson combo for ages 7 and up; Eric also teaches magic camps and after-school programs so his experience and interaction with children is excellent.

		Illusions By Vick - Consummate performer who enchants audiences with original creations "Dinner" "The Sorcerer's Apprentice", "The Rites of Spring" & "Through the Looking Glass" among others along with engaging & well presented classics of magic. Vick creates a unique place filled with amazing magical experiences and takes the audience on a journey there while leaving behind their normal boundaries of existence.

Also performs as The Mad Hatter, "Professor Snape" from the Harry Potter stories, Edgar Allen Poe, Willie Wonka, Con Man, Wizard and more.

This is one of the funniest acts I have ever seen!" Highly Recommended, their website doesn't do them justice A must see if you can!
		The Amazing Stanley - Direct from his website "He used to be the Mediocre Stanley... but he got a promotion!" Stan is a good guy and a solid performer With a good sense of humor that spreads quickly to his audiences Stan is well versed and studied in the art of magic and it is obvious in his shows
		Michael Taggert - Michael primarily performs in Virginia but he is a very talented performer who has recently began presenting his own show at the Get Fresh Labs in Fredericksburg, Virginia. His closing piece is outstanding and well worth seeing .

George is very talented & versatile Definitely a good choice for street festivals If you are wondering George is Fully Insured and can also provide a show with no fire /danger upon request.

If you can't have a full evening stage performance Dick Kohl offers a 20 to 45 minute Solo performance that will work in for just about any size venue or audience Either way expect to laugh and smile until your face hurts
