Built for audiences that expect
more than a party trick.
Eric has performed his magic and mentalism for finance (JPMorgan Chase, Macquarie, Ospraie), tech (Meta, Spotify, Datadog), and hospitality (Marriott, Hilton, Caesars Palace), plus private clients hosting milestone birthdays and other high-end private events. The venues change, the crowd doesn't. These are people who are hard to impress.
Eric doesn't have one show he repeats. Before every event he finds out who's actually going to be there, the industry, the seniority, the running jokes at the company, and builds the set around it.
That might be working the room during cocktail hour so nobody's standing around with a drink and nothing to say, or a tighter stage piece timed to land right before the keynote, when the event needs a reset.
Three ways to guarantee your event
won't just be "well, that was nice."
Mingling
Cocktail hour usually means "so, crazy weather, huh?" to a stranger holding a drink, then the slow reach for a phone once that runs out.
Eric interrupts that with something impossible done with someone's ring, a deck of cards, or a thought they never said out loud. Five people who didn't know each other five minutes ago end up with a story they retell all night.
Stage Show
The lull before a keynote, the fatigue near the end of the awards, the holiday party with a crowd that needs something to do. They start scattered: side conversations, phones out, no shared focus.
Eric's show hands them all the same moment at the same time: a decision named before someone makes it, a prized possession that turns up somewhere it could not be. Everyone walks out with one story instead of a hundred separate conversations.
Start to Finish
When the event has both a cocktail hour and a seated program, this covers all of it. Eric moves through the crowd while drinks are still in hand, then delivers a full stage set once everyone is seated.
It is what most clients book, and it means guests leave talking about two moments in the evening instead of one.
What it actually looks like at your event.
What clients are saying
“He blew people’s minds and he added a lot of value to the night. highly recommend!”
“Everyone had a great time and were thoroughly impressed by your talent and your fun energy. The last trick at the end was the cherry on top- still trying to figure out how you did that!!!”
Before you reach out.
A magician works with objects: cards, coins, sleight of hand. A mentalist works with people: reading a room, predicting a decision before someone makes it. Eric does both in the same show, so the audience never settles into one explanation for what they're seeing. There's more on the difference in What Is a Mentalist?
Hiring a corporate magician in New York City typically runs $3,000 to $6,000, depending on length and format. Eric's mingling spans that same range, $3,000 to $6,000. A full stage show runs between $4,000 and $7,000, and mingling plus a stage show, which is what most clients book, between $6,000 and $12,000. Where you land comes down to how much of the event the magic covers, the size of your audience, and how much of the set is built specifically for your company. There is no hourly rate. Eric quotes the event. For what moves the price, see what a corporate magician costs in NYC. Send what you have through the form below and Eric will confirm the exact number on the call.
For galas and the holiday season, three to six months out is typical, since those dates go first. For a smaller executive dinner or product launch, a few weeks' notice is often enough. If your date is close, ask anyway. It might still be open.
Yes, and it's not optional. Eric builds each set around who is going to be there and what that particular crowd will find funny, so a finance dinner and a tech product launch never get the same show.
Corporate keynotes, galas, product launches, client appreciation events, and executive dinners, plus private milestone birthdays and other high-end private events, mostly across New York City. See how the three performance options are structured.
Eric is based in New York City, but he travels for the right event, anywhere in the country or internationally.
Mingling works best with 50 or more guests, since the format depends on a crowd big enough to move through. For a smaller group, a shorter hybrid set that blends close-up moments with a brief stage-style piece usually lands better than straight mingling.
For mingling, nothing. Eric moves through the crowd with whatever he's carrying, no setup required. For a stage show, he needs a microphone and a way to plug in his music, either his own sound system or the venue's. Above about 100 guests, a small stage or riser helps everyone see the show.
Mingling typically runs 60 to 90 minutes, and can run the length of the event depending on the guest count and how the event is structured. A stage set sits best at around 45 minutes, and can be lengthened or shortened to fit the run of show. Booking Start to Finish covers the full event.
Yes. The material is clean, there is nothing anyone has to be embarrassed by, and nobody gets pulled up and made to look foolish. Volunteers are part of the moment, not the punchline. Eric has performed for boards, executive dinners, and company-wide events where that distinction matters.
Yes. Eric carries liability insurance and can issue a Certificate of Insurance naming your venue, usually the same day you ask. Most corporate venues require one, and it tends to be the quickest piece of the paperwork.
Mingling works best while drinks are still in hand and the guests are still strangers to each other, so cocktail hour and the reception before a program. A stage set works best once everyone is seated and facing the same direction, so after dinner or before a keynote. If the event has both, Start to Finish is usually the strongest version, and Eric will suggest the timing on the call.
See if your date is open, or start without one.
Getting a quote is easy. Send what you have and Eric will take it from there.
Whatever you have so far is enough to start. Nothing needs to be locked in before you reach out.
You can often pick a time on the spot once the form is done, or Eric will follow up to set one up. If the date or the venue is still open, that is normal, and the call is where we work through the options and find something that fits.
Once I know what the event needs, I will put together a quote for that event. There are no packages to pick from.
