Corporate Comedy Magic Show | Magician Josh Weidner
Funny Enough for a Comedy Club. Built for a Corporate Room.
Looking for a comedy magic show for your event?
Most event entertainment is background noise.
A comedy magic show is the thing people actually stop and watch. Josh Weidner performs a tightly written stage show that blends stand-up-style comedy with sleight of hand that genuinely looks impossible, built around audience interaction that makes volunteers the stars instead of the punchline.
It is polished enough for a ballroom and funny enough for a comedy club, and it is structured as one show with a beginning, middle, and end rather than a string of tricks.

What Makes the Comedy Magic Show Work
Clean Humor
The comedy is written for a professional room with executives, clients, and staff in the same audience. It is clean enough for HR and sharp enough that the skeptic in the back row laughs out loud. No roasting the crowd, no awkward setups, no material that needs a few drinks to land.
Impossible Magic
Borrowed objects vanish and turn up sealed in an envelope. Predictions that should not be possible. Routines where several audience members build an outcome nobody could have called. It runs on sleight of hand, misdirection, and psychology, not camera tricks or planted helpers.
The Audience Becomes The Show
Volunteers come up and walk away looking great, never embarrassed. The whole room is pulled in, not put on edge. The set is built around one through-line about time, how we spend it and how we remember it, so it lands as a single shared experience with a real payoff instead of a pile of tricks.
What Clients Say After the Show
"We had wonderful experience with Josh at our corporate holiday party. He brought clean, magical fun to our event and everyone loved it. I highly recommend Josh and we will definitely use him again."
Troy Squires, American Family Insurance
"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."
Matthew Chaidez, Shimadzu Scientific Instruments
Common Questions About Booking a Comedy Magic Show
How much does a comedy magic show cost?
Most bookings run $2,500 to $5,000, depending on the length, the size of the audience, and travel. Local Midwest dates sit lower since Josh drives in from St Louis; out-of-region events that need flights run higher. Most land in the $2,500 to $4,000 range. The fee covers the performance, the planning call, liability insurance, and the material Josh scripts around your event.
How long is the show?
The stage show runs 20 to 45 minutes and scales to your run-of-show. A tight 20-minute set fits inside a packed agenda; a full 45 works as the headline after dinner or at an awards night. Josh sets the length with you on the planning call.
Can you customize the show to our company or event?
Yes. Josh works in the company name, the people the room knows, the product, and the references that audience will catch, so the show feels built for that night. The detail comes from the planning call, so the more he has, the more of it ends up on stage.
What do you need for setup and sound?
A stage at least 12 feet wide by 6 deep, a wireless headset mic, a handheld mic on a stand for volunteers, a 3.5mm input, and a proper sound system. Budget about an hour to set up and a sound check before doors. Josh sends a full tech rider once the date is booked.
Is the show clean enough for our crowd?
Yes. The whole act is built clean for a mixed professional room. The comedy comes from the magic and the people who volunteer, never from putting a guest on the spot or from anything that risks the company's night.
What size audience does the show work for?
It is built for 50 to 800. Above 800, added staging and screens keep everyone connected. For a smaller group, Josh tightens the set or pairs it with strolling so the room still feels full.
Do you travel for the show?
Yes. Josh is based in St Louis and performs nationwide. Drive-distance Midwest dates skip flights and price lower; events farther out are quoted to cover travel and lodging. The quote is all-in before anything is signed.
Where does the show fit in the agenda?
It works as the after-dinner closer at a gala or holiday party, the headline at an awards night, the reset inside a conference general session, or the energy moment at a sales kickoff. Josh slots it where the program needs the lift.
Do you carry insurance and provide a Certificate of Insurance?
Yes. Many venues require a Certificate of Insurance before a performer is allowed on site. Josh carries professional liability insurance and provides a COI on request, usually same day.
Where the Comedy Magic Show Fits
The show is built to be the centerpiece moment of an event. Galas and holiday parties run it as the after-dinner closer that sends the room out on a high. Awards banquets use it to break up the program and keep the energy between categories. Conferences drop it into a general session to reset a room a long agenda has worn down. Sales kickoffs and company meetings use it to restart attention after hours of speakers. Appreciation dinners and client nights book it as the thank-you that people actually remember. The room changes; the job of being the part everyone talks about stays the same.
Why Companies Pay Professional Rates for a Comedy Magician
The headline act is the one part of an event that cannot be redone. The room either leans in and laughs or it sits on its hands, and once the set is over the night is over. The fee on a working comedy magician is not the price of tricks, it is the price of the centerpiece landing in front of a room you spent real money to fill.
Most full-time corporate comedy magicians sit between $2,500 and $5,000 because the work behind a tight show costs money to keep up: insurance, gear, material written for your event, and a set rehearsed to hit on time every time. A quote far under that usually means a part-timer, or a number that climbs once the contract appears.
Josh trained the slow way, including time as a member of the Academy of Magical Arts at Hollywood's Magic Castle, and has spent close to two decades in front of corporate rooms. That is what keeps a show funny, clean, and on the clock.

Who This Show Is For
This is a stage show for adult, professional audiences: corporate events, galas and fundraisers, conferences, and awards nights. It is not a kids' party act and not an outdoor-festival act. The pacing, the humor, and the material are built for a room of grown-ups who have seen the usual event entertainment and want something they did not see coming.
