We hired Magic Ian for our corporate holiday party on a boat, and he was fantastic! He showed up on time, fully prepared, and needed no direction--he just jumped right in and worked his magic (literally). He was very professional, and I've seen many of the attendees since the party, and they were raving about him. If you're looking for an stress-free, memorable entertainment experience, Ian is your person. Highly recommend! read more

It's been 24 hours since our party with MagicIAN and we remain in awe. Stunned. Everyone I know is messaging me to say that last night was the greatest night of their lives (myself included) because the show was so unbelievably cool. 11/10. Worth every single dollar. Best routine I've ever seen. Also, a very lovely person who is timely and kind and all around pleasure to work with. Thank you MagicIAN!!!! read more

We hired Ian for my daughter's 7th birthday party. Kids and adults both enjoyed it very much! Great quality entertainment! read more

Magic Ian was awesome! We hired him for our adults only Casino Night to walk around and entertain guests, then put on an illusion show while the band was on break. I was not a fan of magic before this, but I was so impressed! He was a huge hit! So many people are still talking about his skills since that night. He was a big hit! read more

Ian was AMAZING to work with! He responds quickly, is very informative and extremely friendly! When I first reached out to him, he called me immediately and even though I didn't book him right away, he went out of his way to help suggest venues for me for my son's 1st birthday. We ended up booking him and definitely don't regret it! He showed up early to set up accordingly and started his show right on time. We had a Harry Potter themed party and he themed his entire hour-long magic show to match and it was perfection! The adults had so much fun but the kids loved him the most! I loved that he interacted with the audience and asked multiple people to join him in his magic tricks. Just book him. Don't think twice. You won't regret it. Thanks, Ian!!!! Honestly, I would hire him again even if my event wasn't magic themed! He was that good! read more

I know this one magician that keeps using trap doors in his act. It's just a stage he's going through. Ha! Magic Ian's comedy is better but I had to give you a taste. TL:DR: MAGIC stands for: Mindful, Affordable, Genuine, Improvisational, and Communicative. Ian will come highly recommended from myself and my guests. Ian has set a standard for future performers. ------- MagicIan proved to be flexible with my short-notice message, and understanding to boot when logistics, budget, and style were laid out. A birthday party of about 30 30-somethings proved successful. I look forward to working with him again for their responsiveness, their inclusiveness to have multiple participants, and his overall talent and well-staged act. Ian stands for a good time, and I look forward to the next bonanza! Party Date: 7/15/23 read more

Ian was hired for my daughter's 9th birthday and to entertain her friends. We had absolutely no idea of the illusions that would unfold, captivating the attentions of the adults - equally to the children eyes affixed and jaws a dropped on his performance. Ian was engaging with all my guests, as he was talented with each delivery. Polished act, punctual, professional and polite. Nearly 3 days have passed since our event, but talks of Ian's performance is still persist with friends at work (and with my daughter's friends at school)... "how did he do that"??? Some even asking when we're organizing another magician party with Ian. We're definitely going to find a reason soon, but we'll likely ask for an extended performance. read more

What a magical day made possible by MagicIAN! Leading up to planning my daughter's 9th Birthday, we were watching a show on TV featuring magic acts, and my daughter lights up and says, "omg! Mom! Would it be possible to have a magician come to my Birthday party?!" I immediately started searching through Yelp and found Ian's profile and his stellar reviews. Ian was punctual, courteous, professional, polished and extremely entertaining for the kids and adults. Throughout the entire performance, I had adults whispering to me, "this is by far the best magic show I've seen," and "I have no idea how he did that trick!" His performance was captivating, funny and magical! Thank you Ian for bringing such joy to all of our guests. read more

Amazing show and so punctual and dazzling. Can't wait to have him back in the future!

Oh my God what can't I say about MagicIAN, He was prompt, communicative with me through the planning of our event. He was very engaging with the audience and had surprising acts, also very friendly and we would highly recommend his entertainment! Great show MagicIAN. All of our guest were amazed with your show! read more

We can't say enough about Ian and his performance. We hired him for my 50th birthday party and he was the real thing!

You made my birthday even more memorable! read more

We had about 70 guests, so small, large or a private group, Ian will give an amazing show! We definitely recommend! read more

This guy randomly appeared one day at work. I was super excited, as I love magic. You really have to give credit to having someone show up to perform, as opposed to having people go somewhere to see a show, because it is definitely harder to round up the latter. As such, it was a packed house. I haven't seen a live magic show or even a single trick for at least 5 years, and though I'm old asf now, Magic Ian reignited that feeling of childlike wonder everyone works so hard to forget about. One of my coworkers said they were expecting "clown magic" but this is not it. These are legit close up illusions. They involve the audience and it doesn't matter where you sit. Definitely recommend booking this man if you can for whatever event you might have. Though honestly any break from actual work is welcomed at any time, this was a treat. read more

I saw Ian perform when I attended my friend's 6-year-old daughter's birthday party. Wow! His show entertains the kids but will amaze adults as well. In fact a lot of his humorous patter will only be understood and appreciated by grown ups. Doves and snakes appear out of nowhere, furniture floats in mid-air and wedding rings vanish then reappear right before your eyes. There is a good amount of close-up magic with cards too. Both kids and adults are mesmerized by his magic. He gets audience members to participate with him for many of his tricks. And - at least at this performance - he made balloon animals for the kids at the end of the show. A slick, humorous magician who is a pro, doing everything from birthdays to Vegas. I have no idea how much he charges but I'm sure he's worth every penny. read more

The BEST magician in Los Angeles! Ian performed his Halloween Haunt magic show and left all my guests in awe. There was a lot of art and wonder. I've never seen a show like this before! He changed his face masks 3 times within split seconds right before our eyes, transformed doves into a giant snake with the light of a match, he made tables fly and he even read our minds. Ian was great to work with and very easy to book. I'm so happy we got to experience real magic! read more

MagicIAN was the shite! Very courteous, prompt, and fully commutative. Was able to book last minute for a house party for my wife's birthday.

He did a great job with getting people involved that were watching from a distance. I felt like he was totally comfortable. He blew a lot of guest minds. Great guy. A lot of people after asked for his info. 10/10 read more

Magician Ian was AMAZING! It was our first time inviting a Magician for our last day of summer school ceremony. It was a great honor for us all. Magician Ian completely entertained our students ranging from grades K-12, their parents, and all our teachers. Everyone was astounded by the magic tricks and couldn't believe what they saw. Wow! Unbelievable! Magician Ian was extremely professional from A-Z, and the according to the parents' feedback, they felt the show was even better than a Vegas show because it was tailored with our Martial Arts and Education School's philosophy. Magician Ian inspired the students through his extraordinary magic and illusions and proved that nothing is impossible. With hard work and enough determination, you can achieve your goals just like how magic seems impossible and it can still happen. Thank you, Magician Ian for a wonderful memorable experience.

When I was planning my friend Tom's 40th birthday picnic in the park, it suddenly struck me that perhaps a magician would be a fun addition to the atmosphere. I had no idea that we would be in for a full Vegas style show complete with doves in a snake and mentalism and impossible card tricks. The show was so fun half of the people at Echo park lake wound up crowding around to watch Ian perform his cool tricks. It was one of the best ideas I've ever had and I highly recommend ian for your events! read more

We attended my brother's holiday party at his home last night and Ian was the surprise performer my brother and sister in law hired to perform for the evening. Wow!
