What Close-Up Magic Looks Like at a Corporate Gala
This short clip follows See Magic Live magicians through a corporate gala. It shows the format: a few guests at a time, a few minutes per group, and reactions that draw in the people standing nearby.

How a strolling set works
Five to Ten Minutes, One Small Group at a Time
The magician joins a cluster of guests, performs a short set in their hands, and moves on to the next group. Each set runs five to ten minutes for one to ten people.
For larger crowds we book two or more magicians, so every part of the room gets a visit before the reception ends.
Where it fits
Receptions, Holiday Parties, Trade Show Booths, and Wedding Cocktail Hours
Close-up magic suits any part of an event where guests are on their feet and talking: a networking reception, the cocktail hour while the wedding party takes photos, a company holiday party, or a trade show booth that needs a reason for people to stop.
Our magicians dress to match your event and adjust their material for a room of executives or a family celebration.
Who performs
Backed by See Magic Live Since 2010
PhiladelphiaMagicians.com is part of See Magic Live, the company Kostya Kimlat founded in 2010 to give skilled magicians steady work and give hosts a reliable way to book them. Kostya fooled Penn & Teller on Fool Us and still performs, and he vets every magician we send to a Philadelphia event.
Our performers work as a team, so if a booked performer falls ill, we make every effort to find a replacement from the same roster.
What Our Clients Say
“I wish I could give Adam 6 stars! We wanted to celebrate the magic of our membership and hiring Adam Elbaum was an exceptional decision. He had the audience captivated from the start. Everyone was mesmerized, from the card tricks to the sleight-of-hand displays. His professionalism and engaging personality made our event a success. We cannot wait to hire him for future events.”
