San Diego Magician

Mikey Sleighthand is based in San Diego and serves all of San Diego County including La Jolla, Del Mar, Coronado, Gaslamp Quarter, North Park, Downtown San Diego, Carlsbad, and Encinitas. However, Mikey will travel to any destination for corporate events and weddings. Whether your event is in Southern California, across the United States, or internationally, travel arrangements can be made to ensure your event receives world-class magical entertainment.

Mikey specializes in corporate entertainment including holiday parties, product launches, networking receptions, executive dinners, team-building events, trade shows, and client appreciation gatherings. Close-up magic serves as an exceptional icebreaker, creating memorable moments that strengthen professional relationships and elevate your corporate brand. Each performance is tailored to match your event's tone—from sophisticated executive gatherings to energetic company celebrations.

Yes, weddings are one of Mikey's specialties. Sleight of hand magic during cocktail hour creates an elegant atmosphere and keeps guests entertained while you're taking photos. Magic at wedding receptions becomes a conversation piece that guests will remember long after the celebration ends. Mikey works seamlessly with your wedding timeline, providing refined entertainment that complements your special day without overshadowing the couple.

Mikey's professional magic entertainment is $5,000 per event, which includes up to two hours of close-up performance. This investment covers sophisticated sleight of hand artistry honed over years of practice, personalized attention to your event's needs, and interactive entertainment that creates lasting memories for your guests. When you consider the reactions, conversations, and unforgettable moments generated—it's exceptional value for elevating any corporate function or wedding celebration.

For corporate events and weddings, booking 2-3 months in advance is recommended to secure your preferred date. Peak seasons (holiday parties November-December, wedding season May-October) often fill up 4-6 months ahead. However, Mikey occasionally has availability for last-minute bookings. If your event is approaching quickly, reach out—there may be an opportunity to add wonder to your gathering even on shorter notice.

Each booking includes up to two hours of strolling close-up magic, where Mikey circulates among your guests performing intimate sleight of hand with cards, coins, and other everyday objects. Performances are interactive, engaging small groups of 3-8 people at a time, ensuring everyone experiences the magic up close. All materials and equipment are provided. Performances can be customized to match your event's theme, whether that's a black-tie corporate gala or an elegant wedding reception.

Absolutely. Mikey can incorporate your company's branding, messaging, or specific themes into the performance. Whether it's using custom-designed cards featuring your logo, weaving product references into the magic narrative, or tailoring the performance style to match your corporate culture, every detail can be personalized. This customization makes the magic feel intentionally crafted for your event rather than generic entertainment.

Close-up magic excels in intimate settings where stage performances can't reach. At corporate events, it breaks the ice between colleagues and clients, creating shared experiences that strengthen professional bonds. At weddings, it fills the natural lulls (cocktail hour, dinner service) with engaging entertainment. Unlike background music or distant stage shows, close-up magic brings people together, generates conversation, and creates 'did you see that?' moments that become the stories your guests share long after the event ends.
