McLean & Tysons VA Magician & Mentalist for Corporate Events, Client Dinners & Private Parties

I picked up magic at 11 years old in Washington, and after more than 25 years and thousands of shows in the Chicago suburbs, I am now booking events in McLean, Tysons and Great Falls. What I do is mentalism: reading thoughts, predicting choices and making the impossible happen in your guests’ own hands. Volunteers are always willing ones, and nobody gets embarrassed. Watch a sample in my WGN-TV Spotlight Chicago appearance.

Corporate Events in the Tysons Business District

Tysons is one of the biggest business districts in the region, and the McLean and Tysons area is headquarters to companies like Capital One, Hilton, Freddie Mac, Booz Allen Hamilton and Mars. That adds up to a full calendar of client receptions, leadership offsites, sales meetings and year-end celebrations in hotel ballrooms, conference centers and office event spaces. At a reception, strolling mentalism gets guests talking to people outside their own team. At a dinner or awards night, a 30-minute featured show gives the room one shared moment.

Client Dinners That Do Not Feel Like a Sales Pitch

A client dinner works when the guests leave feeling taken care of, not sold to. A short set after dessert, or a few minutes at each table between courses, gives clients something personal to remember your company by, and it gives your team an easy, natural conversation starter. Here is a planner’s guide to client dinner entertainment that applies just as well in Tysons.

Private Parties in McLean and Great Falls

McLean and Great Falls have a long tradition of entertaining at home, from milestone birthdays and anniversaries to holiday open houses and dinner parties for close friends. For 20 to 60 guests, I can mingle during cocktails and then perform a 45-minute stand-up show in the living room or great room. The show is interactive, built around your guests rather than around props, and it works for mixed ages. See strolling vs. stand-up shows for home parties and more on private party entertainment.

Holiday Parties at the Office and at Home

December is the busiest month in Tysons, with office parties during the week and home parties on the weekends. The best Saturdays go first, often by early fall. This post explains when to book holiday party entertainment, and what to do if you are already late.

Getting to McLean and Tysons

From my Navy Yard home base, Tysons and McLean are usually 25 to 35 minutes away by the George Washington Parkway or I-66, and the Silver Line runs right through Tysons. For weekday evening events, I plan my arrival ahead of Beltway rush hour, so your start time is never at the mercy of traffic. For strolling, allow about an hour for every 40 to 50 guests. The FAQ covers setup, timing and pricing.
