Corporate magician & mentalist · Magic Castle · Las Vegas
Jeff Ezell is hired for conferences, galas, trade shows, and private events that cannot afford a generic magician. Close-up that happens in their hands. After-dinner that holds a ballroom. Clean. Custom. No smoke, no boxes, no excuses.
Academy of Magical Arts · Hollywood
Proof before the contract
Planners do not hire adjectives. They hire what they can send to a CEO in one link.
Event solutions
Same performer. Four different jobs. Tell us the room and we price the format — not a menu of tricks.
Jeff works the floor the way a director works a frame: one cluster at a time. Cards, mentalism, rubber bands, borrowed objects. The astonishment happens in the guest’s hands — which is why it gets retold at breakfast.
Best for: 20–400 guests · mix-and-mingle · VIP rooms · client appreciation
A tight, high-energy stage piece that does not need a theater plot or a semi-truck. Built to follow a keynote or precede dancing. Clean comedy. Impossible moments. The room leaves as one audience.
Best for: banquets · sales meetings · galas · 80–800 seated
Stop the aisle. Put the product in the trick. Send them to your team with a story attached. This is not décor. This is traffic with a memory.
Best for: exhibit halls · hospitality desks · launch days
Ten people who have seen everything. That is the assignment. Intimate mentalism and close-up with no wasted motion. The kind of booking that gets whispered, not posted.
Best for: C-suite dinners · donor events · talent wrap parties
Why Jeff, not the $800 listing
Member and performer at the Magic Castle in Hollywood for 25+ years. Two-time nominee. The 28-seat rooms there do not forgive. If he can hold that audience, he can hold yours.
Headlined his own show at the Las Vegas Magic Theater — nominated Best in Vegas. Two shows a night. That is a different animal from a weekend party act.
No boxes. No smoke. No assistants. The method is skill, timing, and the guest. Planners who have been burned by “big illusion, small personality” specifically ask for this.
Best Director and Best Documentary, Film Fest LA 2025. Credits on F.R.E.D.I. and The Boss Man. He reads a room the way he reads a frame — and customizes before he walks in.
Built for adults who write checks. Funny without being cheap. Impossible without being weird. The CEO and the sales team can sit in the same row.
Signed with Peter K Agency in Hollywood. Based in Orange County. Travels for the right date — Southern California first, nationwide and cruise when the event warrants it.

Private party · Rancho Mirage
Also hired by Paramount Pictures, the Los Angeles Times, Princess Cruise Lines, Neiman Marcus Beverly Hills, Hermès of Paris, and the American Welding Society.
How a booking works
Date, city, guest count, format (strolling, stage, booth, private). If you have a brand or a rival you want named in the material, say so.
One number. Travel, performance, and customization inside it. No plus-tables surprise. Hold the date or release it.
A short call with the planner. Then the night itself — early, in wardrobe, already knowing who the VIP table is.
Planner FAQ
A flat fee based on date, city, format, and guest count. High-end corporate and private work is quoted individually — so the number matches the room, not a gig-app floor. Send the date. You get a written proposal within 24 hours.
Yes. Clean language. No humiliation. No volunteer who leaves the stage smaller than they arrived. The work is adult and sharp, not a children’s show in a nicer jacket.
Both, including the same night: an hour on the floor during cocktails, then a headline set after dinner. Trade-show and boardroom formats are quoted separately.
As soon as the date is real. Peak holiday and gala season in Southern California and Las Vegas often books inside 90 days. Last-minute is possible when the calendar is open — it is not the plan.
Always. Names, product, industry language, the thing the sales team is celebrating. Nothing is off the shelf.
A planner who can confirm timing and the room. For stage work: light, sound, and a place to stand that the whole room can see. A one-page rider goes out with the contract.
If the venue or brand needs a certificate of insurance, note it in the proposal request. It gets handled in the contract — not as a surprise the week of the event.
Yorba Linda / Anaheim, Orange County. Regular work at the Magic Castle in Hollywood. Frequent Las Vegas. Travels nationwide when the date and the fee make sense.
