Strolling close-up magic and mind reading for corporate parties, product launches, press nights, influencer dinners and the cocktail hour everyone posts about.
JEAN-GEORGESKNS GALA SHOW
Vlad!!! … I need more! You were EXCEPTIONAL!! not sure what I was expecting but that was above and beyond!!
Magic that comes to your guests
Instead of asking a room to gather around a stage, I go to the people in it: the strangers who need an ice breaker, the creator who has just started filming, the editor who arrived early and hasn’t met anyone yet.
It’s strolling magic: I spend a few minutes with each group doing close-up magic and mind reading in their own hands, then move through the room the way a server moves with a tray. Cards get borrowed and signed, thoughts get read across the table, and when it fits, your product or launch line becomes part of the moment, so the story guests tell later includes you.
Think of it as the hors d’oeuvre for the mind.

The trick happens in your guest’s own hands, not on a stage across the room. That’s why people scream, and why their friends walk over to see what happened.
Your brand in the moment
The product, the logo, the name of the night can become part of the magic. The story guests tell afterward has your brand in it.
Fits your run of show
Speeches, photo calls, dinner service. I work around all of it and keep the room warm in between.
The part of the night they film
The vanish
Pick one of these six cards. Don’t click it. Just lock it in your mind.
On a screen it’s a puzzle. Across a cocktail table, it’s a gasp.
Fortune tell
Pick one card from the spread and I’ll read what it says about the night ahead.
Real rooms. Real reactions.
Cocktail hours to corporate parties
Small groups break the ice in the awkward first hour and start talking to each other.
The reveal gets a second reveal. Your product can be the finale of the trick.
Content between courses that doesn’t feel like content.
Give editors a detail worth putting in the story.
A reason to stop at your space, and a reason to stay.
Strolling magic is a natural fit for the holiday party: it keeps every corner of the room lively, and people are still talking about it on Monday.

I’ve been performing magic since college, and I was the house magician at NINJA New York in TriBeCa.
By day I run AceForce, an operations company, so I show up early, I’ve already read your run of show, and you won’t have to manage me.
The mentalism is usually what people bring up afterward, because finding a signed card is impressive but knowing what someone was thinking stays with them.
How booking works
Date, venue, guest count and what the event is for. The form below takes two minutes.
Around your brand, your audience and your run of show. You’ll know what to expect before doors open.
I arrive early, blend in, and keep the room buzzing for the hours you book.
Make yours the one they post
Tell me about the event and I’ll get back to you personally.
