For Corporate Event Planners

Hiring a corporate magician who fits a professional room

Entertainment is the one line on the run-of-show nobody notices when it is merely fine and everybody remembers when it is right. Book the wrong act and three hundred people sit through a flat half hour and move on. Book the right one and the room shares a moment it carries back to the office.

Josh Weidner is a corporate magician who builds the set around the audience in front of him. Close-up sleight of hand moves table to table through the cocktail hour, and a fast, clean comedy magic show takes the stage after dinner. Every piece is scripted around the company, so the guests who step forward come off sharp, and the night feels built for your team instead of dropped in from a template.

He works holiday parties, sales kickoffs, awards banquets, client-appreciation nights, conferences, and fundraisers, from a single reception to a multi-day event. Send the details through the form and Josh follows up personally.

Three ways to book a corporate magician

Josh works great as an entertainer to punch up your company's event, or he can run the entire thing as the host.

Cocktail Hour

Mingling Magic

Sometimes called strolling magic, this is close-up magic worked table to table in small groups, with the impossible happening in your guest's own hands. It breaks the ice within minutes, so people who walked in not knowing each other are talking before your program even starts.

Main Event

Comedy Magic Show

A stage show built for a professional audience: clean, quick, and written so the people who volunteer come off sharp, never stuck. It's the one moment your whole room shares, and the one they're still bringing up back at work the next week.

Event Hosting

Beyond the magic, Josh can run your whole program as host and emcee: opening the night, introducing speakers and award winners, covering the transitions, and keeping the schedule honest. Your team gets to attend the event instead of running it.

"We had Josh perform at our office/lab grand opening and he killed it. He captivated the crowd, had them involved and laughing and entertained well beyond my hopes."

The Range

Corporate events where Josh performs

From the cocktail hour to the closing keynote, Josh covers the full range of corporate occasions. Holiday parties and year-end celebrations are the busiest stretch, usually closed out by the comedy show. Sales kickoffs and national meetings use the stage show to restart a room worn down by the agenda. Awards banquets and recognition dinners take the strolling-plus-show combination so the energy holds from arrival through the trophies, and Josh often hosts those outright so a long list of names keeps moving.

Client and customer appreciation nights lean on close-up magic to put reps and accounts into the same conversation. Conferences, leadership retreats, and executive events use a stage set or a mentalism piece to break a dense schedule, while trade show booths use close-up to pull foot traffic. Product launches, grand openings, and company milestones round it out. The format shifts to fit the room. What doesn't change is the standard.

The Audience

Industries that book a corporate magician

The teams that book corporate magic cut across the economy. Finance and insurance bring Josh in for sales conferences and client dinners. Healthcare and pharma book the stage show for launches and grand openings. Manufacturing and professional-services firms run the combination at annual meetings and customer nights. Technology and software teams use close-up to warm a user conference or a partner reception. The audience changes from one to the next; the architecture of the show adapts to it.

The Investment

Why companies pay professional rates for a corporate magician

Corporate entertainment is the one element of the evening that can't be redone. A sound system fails and gets swapped. A caterer runs late and still recovers. A flat act in front of the whole company just happens, and then the night is over.

So the fee isn't the price of tricks. It's the price of the centerpiece landing, in front of everyone, once, with no second take and nothing to edit afterward.

Every other line on your run of show assumes the room is still paying attention when it gets there. The awards, the announcement, the thank-you from leadership. Entertainment is the line that decides whether they are.

Is This The Right Page?

Who this corporate magician page is for

Working magicians fall into two camps. One does private events: birthdays, house parties, and family celebrations. The other works corporate rooms: company parties, conferences, sales meetings, and awards nights. Josh is the second kind. The pacing, the material, and the gear are built for a professional audience, and a performer trained for the first camp doesn't automatically cross into the second. If you're booking entertainment for a corporate event, you're in the right place.

Common questions about booking a corporate magician

How much does it cost to hire a magician for a corporate event?+
Most corporate magic bookings run $2,500 to $5,000. Where a date lands depends on the format, the guest count, and how long Josh is on. Most corporate bookings settle in the $2,500 to $4,000 range. The fee covers the performance, the planning calls, liability insurance, and the material scripted around your company.
Which format works best for a corporate event?+
Three options: strolling close-up while guests arrive and mingle, a stage show once everyone is seated, or both. Strolling carries the early part of the night. The stage show is the moment the room shares and repeats afterward. Companies that want the whole evening handled book the combination, and Josh can host the program on top of that.
Can the show be customized to our company?+
Yes, and it is most of what makes a corporate set land. Josh folds in the company name, the people the room knows, the product, and the references only your team will catch. The detail comes out of the planning call, so the more context you share, the more of it ends up on stage.
Can Josh also host or emcee our event?+
Yes, and a lot of companies book it that way. Josh can run the whole program as host: opening the night, introducing speakers and award winners, covering the transitions, and keeping the schedule honest. Because he is also a performer, the gaps that usually sag get filled with something worth watching instead of an apology.
What size group does the show work for?+
Anywhere from a boardroom of 10 to a ballroom of 1000. Smaller rooms get a more conversational version of the show. Large rooms need staging and screens so the back of the house sees it properly.
What if some of our guests do not want to participate?+
You're not really hiring a magician. You're hiring someone whose job is getting your guests interacting and enjoying themselves. Nobody is embarrassed, and nobody is pulled up in front of the room who isn't comfortable being there. The guests who would rather watch have just as good a night.
Can you perform during dinner?+
No, and that's deliberate. Magic and a meal cannibalize each other. Guests are either eating or watching, and neither one lands properly. It's one of the most common first-time booking mistakes. The show belongs after plates clear, or before dinner starts.
What do you need for setup and sound?+
Strolling needs nothing but room to move. The stage show wants a performance area, a wireless headset mic, a handheld mic for volunteers, and a sound system the whole room can hear, plus about an hour to set before doors. Josh sends a full tech rider once the date is booked.
Do you travel for corporate events?+
Yes. Josh performs corporate events nationwide, so a company running events in more than one market can book the same show for each. The quote is all-in before anything is signed.
Is the material clean enough for our crowd?+
Yes. The whole act is built clean for a mixed professional room of executives, clients, and staff. The comedy comes from the magic and the guests who volunteer, never from putting someone on the spot or risking the company night.
Do you carry insurance and provide a Certificate of Insurance?+
Yes. Many corporate venues require a Certificate of Insurance before a performer is allowed on site. Josh carries liability coverage and provides a COI on request, usually the same day.
How far in advance should we book?+
It depends more on the time of year than the type of event. 2 to 4 months out is normal. Peak dates, like weekends and the holiday season, can book up 6 to 12 months ahead.
