Gary NYC's Best Mentalist
Ever since I can remember, I've loved performing. Maybe it had something to do with my grandfather being a lion tamer (watch him on Johnny Carson in my bio). Magic, for me, isn't a break from regular life - it is regular life. From national television appearances to private lessons for celebrities, I get to travel the country doing what I love. This officially makes me the luckiest person I know. Scroll down to learn more about the different styles of magic and mentalism that I offer.
How do stage/parlor shows work?If you want costumed show girls, large mirrored boxes, and red sequined vests, I'm not your guy. I'd much rather perform an illusion with a paper bag and a spectator's sport coat. No matter the size of the crowd, my signature show feels intimate and improvised. I love the unexpected moments that arise as I bring your guests up to help out with my unique effects. I'll connect with your audience and make sure that everyone feels like they just witnessed the impossible. I have experience performing high-energy, engaging stage shows for weddings, corporate holiday parties, product launches, birthdays, retirements, fundraisers, proposals, comedy clubs, and can also MC your event.
How does strolling magic work?My performance style is very interactive and casual, with an emphasis on comedy. My goal is to make sure that your guests are not only blown away by my magic, but also have a great time in the process. By doing close-up magic for small groups of people, I can specifically target guests who may not be as engaged in other aspects of your event. Strolling magic can be a great ice-breaker if your guests don't all know each other. I have the experience to tactfully work a room with a strolling repertoire including such everyday objects as money, silverware, jewelry, playing cards, ice cubes, and mentalism. If possible, I love to finish each set with a trick or two for the whole room.
As someone who does lots of fancy adult magic, this page might surprise you. But my kids show, "Gary the Great," is SO. MUCH. FUN. I adapt my act on the fly to make sure your guests have a great time, no matter their age or personality. You never know what's going to happen in this show, and that's what makes it so uniquely special.
This high-energy comedy magic show is perfect for birthday parties, block parties, school assemblies, communions, corporate events, theatrical performances, weddings, street fairs, and more. No event is too big or small! My show will fit in your living room!
You don't have to be a mind reader! Expect nothing less than complete satisfaction! Gary's years of experience make him one of the most captivating performers you can hire. He wakes up every morning craving to go to work, which makes him (officially) the luckiest man in the world. He absolutely loves what he does, and it shows in every performance.
