Magic Shows Chicago

Thank you very much for your interest in the Wizard of Sorts. For more information and a video please visit www.magicshowschiago.com

There are a few different packages you can choose from. Each package features my award winning family friendly comedy magic show. My show is based on what we call, "magician in trouble." Essentially the show is structured that the magic happens almost in spite of myself. My props literally fall apart into pieces on the floor. The magic happens usually because of my audience volunteers or the whole audience saying the magic words. My show is 100% interactive and I use many volunteers though out the show. Most of the tricks use two volunteers so the birthday child can volunteer for as many tricks as they would like yet their friends still get to be involved in the show.

Edd Fairman delighted our audience of parents and children (ranging in age from 3-14). He dealt well with the varied personalities of the children. He accommodated to our performance space and was easy to deal with on short notice. He was very flexible and put our needs first. I would hire Edd Fairman again in a heartbeat and recommend him highly.

The first package is a half hour version of the show and then I make balloon animals for up to 20 children. This takes about another 30 minutes. This

gives each child a keep sake to take home from the party. This package lasts about 1 hour and costs $395.

The second package is a forty-five (45) minute version of the show with the final illusion of the show being the birthday child appears to float on air. This really makes the birthday child the star of the show. This package costs $449.

The third package is a combination of the first two. You get a forty-five (45) minute show with the birthday child floating on air and balloon animals for up to 20 children. This gives each child a keepsake from the party and makes the birthday child the star of the show. This package lasts about 1 hour and 15 minutes and costs $495.

When you book with me you get a contract guaranteeing your date and time. You can book with the peace of mind of booking a full time professional entertainer with 15 years of experience and over 1000 satisfied clients. I am also fully insured.

Please let me know what package you would like to book and I will send you a contract for your event. 

When I was 6 years old I saw a magician at my Cub Scout Blue and Gold Banquet and i was immediatly hooked. My parent's bought me a magic set for both my birthday and Christmas that year.  We also found a begginer magic book at the book store. I entertained my family with those magic sets and tricks from that book for years. When I was 16 years old, my High School English teacher put on a medevil fair. I wanted to be the Court Jester. So, I put togher a card trick routine and performed it for my classmates. Later that year when I got my driver's license, I was able to drive the 90 minutes to Pittsburgh Pennsylvania to go to a real magic show. 

In college I studied theater and I would do children's birthday parties on the weekends to help pay for school. After I graduated I decided on April 7, 2002, that I would become a full time magician.

I largely work with parents planning a child's birthday, first communion, graduation or similiar type of party.
