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

Maryland Magician 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

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!
