Entertainment Options That Actually Work
Three flexible formats to fit your vibe, your space, and your audience.
Strolling Magic
Strolling magic is one of the best ways to break the ice at events in Chicago. This is close-up magic that happens right in your guests’ hands: cards, coins, mind-reading, and moments that get people laughing, connecting, and saying, “How did he just do that?”
Perfect for cocktail hours, networking mixers, or any event where guests are mingling.
Josh serves a wide range of areas, including Harwood Heights, Hines, Hometown, Lyons, River Forest, Riverside, Summit, and Summit Argo, ensuring magical entertainment is accessible throughout the Chicago suburbs.
The Comedy Magic Show
A fully interactive stage show designed to engage the entire group. It’s smart, clean, and hilarious—and your guests don’t just watch the show… they’re the stars.
Great for banquets, appreciation dinners, or when you want a shared experience for the whole room. My Comedy Magic Show is packed with clean comedy and high-impact audience interaction.
This comedy magic show is available for events not just in Chicago, but extends to the far end of the region and beyond.
The Full Experience
Start the night with personal, close-up magic as I mingle with your guests. Then bring everyone together for the main event: a full comedy and magic show that ties the whole evening together.
Double the engagement, zero extra stress. This is why companies hire me as a corporate magician in Chicago again and again.
As a corporate magician in Chicago, this is the kind of feedback that keeps me booked:
-
"We had wonderful experience with Josh at our corporate holiday party. He brought clean, magical fun to our event and everyone loved it. I am not sure how he pulled off some of his tricks…I guess it’s a trade secret. If you’re looking to liven up your events with some wholesome entertainment…I highly recommend Josh Weidner. We will definitely use him again."

"Did a show for our team in Taylorville il. His magic was amazing as well as entertaining. Josh also taught us tricks to work on as a team for our team building exercise."

"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. Afterwards, most of the attendees kept asking me how I found such a great magician. Truth is, I got luck with a quick google search, but those of you doing more in-depth research, rest assured this is the guy you want to hire. Thank you again Josh and I hope we see you on primetime TV soon. I'd put money that he will be on the Tonight Show or something similar in the very near future!"
Matthew Chaidez - Shimadzu Scientific Instruments

"We had Joshua for our annual company dinner. He was fantastic! Both his up-close and on-stage performances were engaging, impressive, and funny. He's very personable, and I highly recommend him for your next event."
