Available Types of Magic

Close Up Magic

Perfect for intimate groups where the "impossible" happens just inches away. Best suited for groups no larger than 12 or so that are seated around a table. Great for birthdays, bachelorette/bachelor parties, holidays, or any special event.

Doc's regular close up show runs about an hour (more depending upon amount of laughter and momentary shocks of amazement). But can be tailored to go from 30 to 90 minutes.

A repeating show can also be set up...something often called "Chicago Bar Magic." Doc is behind a bar or at a table doing a 20-30 minute show, and folks stop by to watch and enjoy.

Close up shows can be customized for specific occasions or people...contact Doc to discuss.

Strolling Magic

Ideal for corporate events, cocktail hours, mixers, and larger parties. Doc moves through the crowd, creating pockets of amazement and keeping the energy high.

Strolling magic has Doc going from table to table, or group to group, performing 3 or 4 routines. Everyone gets involved, engaged, and amazed. Of course there can be special illusions for guests of honor.

Magic can be a wondeful addition to a wedding reception, entertaining guests while the Wedding Party is off taking pictures.

Strolling gigs can last 1 to 4 hours depending upon the size of the event. It can also be combined with a larger show. Perhaps strolling magic during cocktails, then a parlor show after dinner. Call Doc to discuss.

Parlor Magic

A stand-up show designed for larger groups, combining storytelling, mentalism, and classic prestidigitation. Suitable for groups from 15 to 500. Great for birthdays, family reunions, special events, or if you and a large group of friends are tired of binge watching the latest trendy show.

The name comes from the days when such magic shows were performed in the parlor of the house. These days, the show can be done in living rooms, great rooms, meeting areas, even outside in a backyard or park.

Doc's regular parlor show runs about 60 minutes, often a bit longer. But it can be changed to run 30 to 90 minutes depending upon your needs. The show is highly interactive, engaging the whole audience.

Festivals & Fairs

Doc has performed at numerous festivals and fairs. From weekly appearances at local farmers' markets, to showcases such as Bastille Days, The Milwaukee Fringe Festival, and The Green Bay Fringe Festival.

Doc has a variety of festival shows, normally he'll do 20-30 minute rotating show. Setting up, performing, talking with the crowd, sipping some water, and doing it all over again. Doc has been at events between 2 and 8 hours.

If your company or organization is having a festival and looking to have entertain, contact Doc to discuss options.

Street Performing & Busking

Busking, a little used term that means performing on the street for tips, is considerd by many the purest form of entertainment. With nothing but a few props and nerves of steel, a busker goes out into public, gathers a crowd, performs a show, and is paid only what the audience deems worthy.

Busking is usually seen in tourist areas such as Key West, New Orleans, or San Diego. Doc has been known to go out and do a bit of busking at Farmers' Markets, County Parks, and in the Third Ward. If you stumble across Doc doing a trick, stop, enjoy and toss a bill in the hat if you like what you see.
