Last week Lizzy and I had the incredible opportunity to perform 4 full-house illusion shows for the Investment Banking company Credit Suisse in New York City! The shows were for their holiday party and the audience was filled with Credit Suisse employees and their families (children of all ages were in attendance!). The shows consisted of someone floating in the air and being cut in thirds in a way never seen before…among other grand illusions. The feedback we received of the shows was great!

Last week I had the honor to perform for the second consecutive year at a fundraiser event benefiting “Maya’s Hope”. Maya’s Hope works to improve the quality of life of orphaned, impoverished, and special-needs children on a global scale. An incredible organization! The event was held at the beautiful Ukrainian Institute of America in New York City and was attended by hundreds!

I walked around the party mingling with guests while performing cool close-up magic. The guests loved it and it was a great addition to the event’s DJ and silent auction.

An amazing testimonial from the client…
“You were once again a HUGE hit! Everyone kept raving about how great you were! Can’t wait to have you back!” -Maya Rowencak (founder of Maya’s Hope)

From the start of the cocktail hour, I walked around the party performing my strolling close-up magic and mentalism for both the kids and adults. This was a great way to keep guests entertained as they all were trickling in, and it breaks the ice while facilitating introductions for guests that don’t know each other and are just meeting. I always make sure to use cool and unique magic that the 12-13 year old boys and girls haven’t seen before at other parties, and that will make them tell all their friends, “how cool is this magician, did you see what he did?!”

What’s more, my lovely assistant Lizzy dressed up as a Vintage Burlesque Cigarette Girl and walked around the party serving candy to the kids and drinks to the adults. Guests of all ages took pictures with Lizzy, and the client was thrilled with this addition to the party!!!

Later during the party, while the guests were finishing up their main course, Lizzy and I performed a BIG 15 minute grand-illusion act on the dance floor! All the kids made their way to the front of the dance floor and the adults directed their attention there, too. The act integrated some of the large custom illusions from our full illusion show and combined it with music and lots of audience participation. It was high energy and jam packed with magic! The show was definitely something unique that guests never saw before at a Bar/Bat Mitzvah and it provided entertainment while the guests were still seated finishing their meal before they started dancing again.

It was a fun and exciting theme to work with, and the guests had a truly magical evening!

The post “2015 Summer Tour” Dates!! appeared first on The Extreme Magic Of Eric Wilzig.

Making the Bar/Bat Mitzvah boy or girl magically appear from a cage of fire would be cool, creative, extravagant, and most importantly MEMORABLE…something guests who have been to many celebrations have never seen before, and something they wouldn’t forget! The Extreme Magic of Eric did just that, and in the last 6 months alone, we have made over 15 Bar/Bat Mitzvah kids appear from a cage of fire, while completely surrounded by guests, for their grand entrance! It’s 100% safe and can even be done with little fire or no fire at all if the venue doesn’t allow it, and it still makes for an incredible illusion and entrance. It can be done literally anywhere.

When the kid appears, all his or her friends always ask, “how did you do that?!!” and it really sets the tone for an amazing party that is ahead. I’ve seen girls come out carried by dancers or lowered from the ceiling, boys come out roller-skating or with pretty models, but I wanted something sooo different and something that would amaze and fool young and old alike…and our Grand Appearance Illusion does just that! And — all that’s needed is just 5 minutes of rehearsal with the Bar/Bar Mitzvah boy or girl. It’s super easy and we take care of everything! And if your party has a certain theme, we can discuss ideas to modify the illusion and music to fit it.

Watch a preview of The Extreme Magic Of Eric making a Bar Mitzvah boy appear at the St. Regis Hotel in NYC last month:

“My friends can’t stop asking me how did I do that! Thank you so much for making my Bar Mitzvah party entrance something I will never forget! It was so cool and so much fun!”
-Dylan (Bar Mitzvah Boy)

I performed my close-up walk-around magic and mentalism throughout the event. From the moment the guests arrived for cocktail hour until the DJ played the last song for the night, I had the best time performing and entertaining everyone. Some celebrities in attendance were Wendy Williams, Isaac Mizrahi, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Ana Gasteyer, and Dani Seitz and it was amazing meeting and performing for them! 

Here are some pictures from the event:
